*~Don't Quit~* - Hello Poetry

This too will sink I know
Like the others before
This too will go
Behind shut door.

Once a place of rejoice
Where I poured my heart
Leaving is now the only choice
And make a new start.

My work is my blood of toil
Come at a high cost
Digging deep into the soil
What I grew is all lost.

I leave this holiness with pain
Will miss all you gave
Leaving the circling dots to reign
And send old poems to grave.

I leave with love and best wishes for all the fellow members and friends here.

Diary Excerpts #78

Dear diary;
I find myself drained
at even the little things.
The chores, the socializing,
the emotions and the obligations.
It is no wonder I am exhausted
at the end of the day just
trying to survive.

Void

My childhood was
Fu**ed up in a way that
I can hardly feel anything
So now I keep on playing
The character I've created
In a futile attempt to fill
Such endless void

Will I ever get to see colours again...?

a car ride home

radio radio radio
running running gone
playing drums, playing hits
i dont recognize a song

typing writing rhyming
my hands shake and curl
carrying notes on my phone
nothing heavier than words

wait wait wait maybe —
my voice caught in my chest
nothing beats the weight
of the words left unsaid

wrote this in my notes thought it was very bittersweet

How much loss can a person handle?

My body is paralyzed.
My fingers are numb.
My chest heaves and tightens up.
My eyes dart across the room.
My tears are fire.
My nose is runny.
My lips are dry.
My heart is shattered.
My mind races.
You can tell me how much it will be ok, but I feel differently.

Live & Love

My goal in life is to
Live and Love
At this point
For me that is just enough
Not a constant struggle
To get more stuff
Still, I seem to collect
So many things
Best of all
The Love that sings
Sometimes pain can
Bring me down
I forget ~ I pray
I remember the price
"Who wore The Crown"
The pain then releases me
Knowing, there will come a day
I will be
Completely free
Thank you Jesus
For saving me

Gone

Far from done,
But nothing left
To give.
Just the loneliness
Creeping from
Outer edges to
My center.
What will bring me
From empty.

My Dear Poet

She was everything she didn’t want

She wasn’t everything she wanted
so in her soul she moulded
a figure of someone else

Till her inner being went bleeding
along a lonely road of longing
yearning for herself

Then there came along a flower
from an Ivy **** upon a tower
that wove her name with love

and upon this sight and seeing
it’s beauty won her heart and healing
“If that’s me, then me is enough”.

It’s been awhile. I hope you enjoy.
