People
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
They are good kind true and bad,
Beautiful the people who seek love,
Dangerous the people who seek power,
God could be people or a person that people told untrue,
People learn from people,
Plenty are those who choose to follow,
Never-ending cycle of life we people proceed,
New old and missed of those who are people,
People believe in things others see even when it's been unseen,
They look towards the future bet yet look behind.

Humanity
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Humanity is in us all,
We care but we sometimes fall,
We must be there for others and stand tall,
Can we be the ones that set up that stall,
Live and breathe humanity,
For we can teach the young,
The song we know can bring happiness when sung,
Believing we can sustain,
Remembering we can refrain,
Humanity's call is amongst us all,
Lets us see it through and repeat the call.

Lay Heavy
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
How can I begin to wonder about life further on
when all I see is a poor man continually struggling on
How does a person seek riches when thy neighbor is down on their luck
How can I look towards the years of me without coming unstuck
These shoulders I bare thoughts upon lay heavy full of guilt
To think I once had everything from what once I had built
A fine man I used to be until they came
The people in body armor struck, it was a day of raw emotion and downfall
Of a man with everything who ended with nothing
A life that was but seemed a dream
We die the same with the last tear in our eyes
Oh lord please take me now I am ready to fly.

A Child
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
A child is pure and shines in love,
Pure in love and happiness,
They don't know hate or greed,
They take knowledge from those who think best,
A child with love takes flight,
A child with problems must fight,
Beautiful child be everything you want to be,
A child must live life free,
A child changes people,
Come now child let's discover happiness together,
A child.

Battered Not Broken
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Battered but not broken,
It's the fear they have awoken,
The bruises hurt the tears commence,
It's only their actions that make no sense,
A life full of pain Your head filled with blame,
Go take your mind and body,
Go be the chance you take,
All your happiness will be revealed when you make a break,
Don't be broken take control,
This could be the last chance for parole,
You are better than this don't fear their fist,
Know you are never alone.

Footsteps
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Flowing my footsteps down the lane,
Trying to think as much the same,
Looking above the rainy clouds,
Smiling at birds that make those sounds,
Following my footsteps down the lane,
Giving in to my ball and chain,
Glancing upon the tall sycamore,
Dreaming of better times forever more,
This face I show can only tell,
The life I have inside my shell,
The footsteps down that lane,
I stood there and waited for that train.

Smile
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Smile to those who you do not know,
Smile when you care,
Smile for you don't know who it will bring happiness for,
Smile for yourself,
Smile because you can,
Smile when you see the special moments,
Smile for the times you didn't,
Smile.

As we search
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
All i am in this moment is bare
a complete vision of myself
nothing to hide, something to share
the simplicity of being real
gracefulness in showing your true self
your beauty is within the love you show.

Sharing emotions without boundaries
listening to your self belief
finding freedom in your forgiveness
that is what guides you to a calm peace.

As we search out futures path we call life
we turn, go back, go forward, stand still
yet we still seek and dream a vision
an amalgamation of deep thoughts and feelings
moments we want to remember or forget
our choices create these moments.

persistence of showing your continued kindness to others
giving a generous amount of your time and a listening ear
helping create a human kind of nature that others can follow.

You are beautiful, you are special, you are unique

you are you.

Lost
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Lost when not knowing what to do,
Empty spaces we form to choose,
Silent thoughts evolve in our minds,
Beginning to surrender our voids to those who judge us,
Falling into a place we don't like,
Trying to get back but we never find,
That's what we feel when lost.

Trees
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Trees are tall their leaves fall,
We look them up and down and see beauty,
The vision of growth and strength in the overpowering Branches,
There are funny little shaped trunks,
They are claimed they are hugged,
They are drawn and sawn,
Trees are our friends when we let them be,
Trees contain the destruction,
In mother nature's grace,
We love the trees all the same because they give us space.

Living
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Living for the expectations of other people,
Born with a number on a paper,
Media forcing me to take thy route,
Medication given to make me safer,
Living a life i never wished,
Feeling a need to take a drift,
Making excuses that im no good,
Smiling at others who seem so good,
Living for others but not me,
Giving so much but yet not free,
Im living.

Just Me
Carl Sinderby Sep 2022
Just me who I am within this body I own,
Forever changing I understand I have grown,
Many challenges I have faced,
All the dreams I have chased,

Just me in the room, I call home,
Thinking of how to set the tone,
Will, it be a graceful day I have today,
Or do I falter to pretend I'm ok,
Just me I count on so many times,
I'll always be true to myself,
Courageous enough to know il always have just me.

— The End —
