Smile
Robert D Nov 2019
I came across a picture today
Just browsing the web for awhile
A picture of some regular people
And I fell in love with their smile

Just regular people enjoying life
It's something I wish I could do
Their eyes bright and full of life
Their happiness you can feel thru n thru

I know I can and one day I will
Have a beautiful life and lifestyle
One day people will see a picture of me
And say I fell in love with his smile

Chocolate
Robert D Nov 2019
In a world fueled by anger and hate
So much despair and regret
There can only be one saving Grace
That saving Grace? Bars of chocolate

That's bars, with a "s" at the end
Not one, but many like plural
I'm a Chunky boy, not a lightweight
Have you ever tried a See's truffle?

Snickers, Resses Cups and M&M's
A smooth creamy Milky Way
If I'm sad or if my mood is ****** up
Chocolate will definitely take it away

So many, many kinds of chocolate
That you can throw into the mix
Dark, milk or white you decide
Like being the left or right side of a Twix

Bacon covered in chocolate
Chocolate potato chips are so good
One more small bite, no I shouldn't
Oh Henry! Shut the hell up! Yes, you should!

Unwrapping a bar and it's goodness
Coconut? Almond Joy or a Mounds
I'll take chocolate over gold on Payday
To me more precious, pound for pound

If you had to decide, *** or chocolate?
For me that decision is hard
My sweettooth is bigger than my ******
So break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar

Apology
Robert D Nov 2019
When you look at your past
And you see what you've become
A single you, with many names
Brother, lover, friend and son.

You look up to what made you
And you pray to be heard
You try and shake this dark feeling
Waiting for His answer or word

Whats next in your life
The decision is yours
Should you try to stay afloat
And swim to the shore

Your struggle is real
The currents too strong
You think about giving up
Would that be so wrong?

You close your eyes one last time
Expecting to let go
Faces of family not the dark
Fills your heart let it grow

The darkness is out there
The dread is so real
But the love of one person
Can make the dread go quite still.

The pain you'll create
Like a single line from a poem
Can be changed once it's out there
The meaning is of your own

Letters become words
Words become a line
Certain words put together
Can cause pain for a long time

Choose what you say
You words are so strong
For all the words I've said
"I'm sorry!" the most strong!

Afraid
Robert D Nov 2019
I'm afraid of what others think
And what they will see
I'm not perfect at all
I'm scared to be me

So many faults
Too many I'm afraid
Not happy at all
With choices I've made

Life moves along
It's direction can be swayed
Don't care what others think
It's your life don't be afraid

Eulogy
Robert D Nov 2019
Here lays someone
You all hardly knew
The darkness is his head
With each new day just grew

He asked for help
But no one could see
His plea went unaswered
That's just reality

Some couldn't be bothered
Others said they didn't know
Really? You couldn't
What? His pain didn't show?

Now it's too late
Now maybe you'll believe
Next time someone asks for help
Just help, so you won't need to grieve

Music
Robert D Nov 2019
My thoughts need to rest
Peace of mind is my goal
I can hear the music playing
Reaching out to touch my soul

You can appreciate all music
If you open up your mind
When it reaches out to you
In your heart it will entwine

Let the melody carry you
Far far away
Open up your heart
And let the music play

Judged
Robert D Nov 2019
You're past and present
Are how you're judged
Your future yet to be seen
It's not too late
To change your path
To a journey so serene
