30 I am a poet and my mind is overflowing with words I struggle to capture / / Books: / https://amazon.com/author/mikeystewartwriter
Why do you exist? When you'll fade into the mist Why do you even try? When you should just cry What is life but a joke Built to watch you choke Yet, here you still stand You and fate holding its hand Don't tell me you found love Aren't you so brave When it's you they'll shove Better to dwell in a cave A world plagued by illness Resulting in eventual stillness Why bother with the answer When you risk cancer Oh, you have a friend? What if it could end? Why take that risk Everything could be brisk Don't you ignore me I am your only key Your faithful logic The closest you'll find to magic

What Is The Point?
Cut out the pain To keep yourself sane Remove the root To make the discomfort moot Though it might hurt at first It's as important as water is for thirst Keeping those who hurt you close Is like upping a poisons dose There are people who deserve your love All it takes is the first shove It's time to bite the bullet To stop the negativity from being forced down your gullet Enough of soaking your pillow in tears Enough of them feeding on your fears Just listen to my voice But know it's still your choice One day they'll just be ghosts No one left to move the goalposts Memories buried deep inside With new happier times to finally reside See how they use deflection Take this as a moment of clear reflection Notice how your tears do well Remember they've treated you like hell You do not need them Cut them off like a roses stem Roses are beautiful yet those **** thorns Stick out like their pointy horns They are who put you on the wall And let you slowly fall Here comes the guilt trip Take that photograph and rip

Should I Hate You
When you go to your church Wearing a politicians merch You mixed what should not mix Just to satisfy the cliques But God doesn't vote He does not hold you by the throat God wants you to love all Lest you risk your fall To separate church and state Yet, many learn that so late Is that too much to ask? Such a simple task Church is simply for love For those we miss above To speak to our God For you to avoid the creators rod Politics must end at the door And yet, you'll be who he'll still adore Otherwise, you'll hear the warning bell Among the many who have fallen into Hell

God Doesn't Vote
Under Obama We had no trauma There was no fear Our future seemed clear Under Obama Life seemed free of drama No one seemed malevolent Life felt so innocent Under Trump Life feels like the dump A rise in our stress Feels like a repress Under Trump It feels like hitting a speed bump People seem to have lost their class I now see more people as trash

Take Us Back
Death is our ultimate debt An absolute sure bet The price we all must pay Let's just get that out of the way The one thing we all know by name As it treats us all the same Our dealer rolls the dice Eventually you'll end up on ice Every day is simply a gift Don't let yourself form a rift Let's all take in the warmth of the sun And just take the time to have fun We should love one another Walk hand in hand with our brother Don't go through life in a rush Treat it like an artist with a brush Shall we take the time to smell flowers We could do it for hours We can explore the streets Rushing is what patience defeats

Why Rush Through Life
Cry those pathetic pretend tears Stop your little wishy washy whining Oh, you fraud you've done it for years Your behavior is so character defining Oh, would you please just shut up I have heard it all before Can you try to be a grownup Maybe not, it's in your own lore No one listens anymore So just spare us this act Alone you'll be forevermore And that my dear is a fact Time to go now Hold your frown Take your bow Take the crown

Faux Feelings
When is it time to let a friend go? Well, I suppose that is up to you Maybe you need to let yourself grow To begin something anew While it may at first hurt Remember that you did not desert It's time to let go when it feels like eggshells Like wandering through a minefield When your mind swells Using the shield that you now wield Yes, at first you'll have pain But don't let it drive you insane Sometimes people simply grow apart Especially if their views blind them from fact Just follow your own heart If a small view disagreement let's the bond be cracked Remember, you did nothing wrong Why this is now your own song This was a long time coming It was bound to end Like the pages in a book you'll be thumbing But your heart you'll continue to lend

Walk Though It May Hurt
The Presidents ties with Epstein A friendship he found keen He really thought he wouldn't be seen If you know what I mean The way he speaks of every woman With a face that looks like he ate a lemon See who was his best friend Did you not see the note he did send When confronted he hides To his inner circle he confides Anyone else would feel shame Yet, he rides the fame Ignoring the victims pain His excuses are inane Should be held accountable The proof is insurmountable Now they say there's more than him This is not a hunt formed on a whim So we say "get them all" No matter if their status is tall So that it's done fair You won't mind if you truly care Have them make the case Expose every face

The Presidents Friend
A storm rolled in today When I thought we'd be okay Natures unmatched power Enough to make us cower You know I still love you, right? And I always will with all my might I promise to carry you when it's hard To be your trusted little bard When it comes to cards I'm your ace I shall respect your own pace See now, the sun does shine Proving I will not cross your line For me to move with haste Would show you I am a waste A storm rolled in today

No Room For Empty Space
They say you have but 4000 weeks So tell me what the poor soul seeks How will you spend your time Would you have any reason or rhyme Why we're all going to die Sad as it is, it is no lie Why you poor frightened soul You know at the end the bell will toll Here now, let me dry that tear Please friend have no fear Though you will have an end Your soul the afterlife will send Do try to stay calm Knowing one day they will embalm It's just your final sleep One that will be so deep So live life your way Make each sunrise your day Create memories to last So you aren't buried in the past See you at our last ride Together by your side Memento Mori
