~ One ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ One ~

One, Was all it took

One that **didn't overlook

What everyone else would

One was a revolution

Provider to solution

One made a difference

Through resistance and persistence

Qualities rare in existence

~when odds are one to none **one is enough** :)

~ Judgment upon them ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ Judgment upon them ~

With my thoughts I condemn

Truth is, I envy them

Because they are true to themselves

Not pretending to be anything else

A portrayal of what I want to be

I just want to be me

**not ashamed for all to see

~ sometimes at the core of our judgment is the reflection of ones inner self our hidden part of oneself

Also if you notice the bold lines actually say something on there own you just put the pieces together :)

~Humans~

Ronney Apr 2016

~Humans~

We work best at our worst

A network chain of support

Emerging from paths of destruction

We band together in order to function

~ humanity can not function without unity

~sometimes our best qualities only come out at the worst of times let's see if we can change that and make it at all times :)

~Value yourself~

Ronney Apr 2016

~Value yourself~

I saw myself

To be of no worth

When people shared my view

I felt even worse

So I decided one day

That it was time for a change

I started to value myself

Then so did everyone else

the way in which you see yourself can sometimes be projected onto the way other people see you too

So maybe if you value yourself a little more everyone else would value you more :)

~ Insecure ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ Insecure ~

As much as you try to reassure

my mind keeps reeling

With thoughts, sometimes obscure

*One can not always help

feeling insecure

Sometimes we see ourselves in the worst kind of light
All you need to do is persuade your mind and see your self through a new and different lense

~ Weighted words ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ Weighted words ~

As weak as they sometimes were

There was an inevitable sting

to some of you words

And truth be told, it hurt

To be told I'd die alone

That I had nothing worth living for

truth be told, I let you get the better of me

By the end, at night

When I was all alone

I succumbed to your words

And Cried alone

behold

the power of *weighted words

be careful with words they hold the power to break a person and equal power to build one up

~ The breaking family ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ The breaking family ~

High emotions

Extensive as the ocean

Our Tear ducts were filled

Soon overflowing

Through pain, We over-came

Through the lies, we forgave

Our Familial ties began to fade

We'd argue and fight each day

Ripping each-others hearts away

Leaving nothing the same

We gave up in shame

Do you know what we gave away?

**Our family

Splitting hurts ~ especially cause they said family comes first

Empty canvas

Ronney Apr 2016

Empty canvas

A work of art

Can come from humble beginnings

Just like an empty canvas

Fuelled with endless possibilities

Chances are it'll turn out

A masterpiece

Not sure if this qualifies as poetry or philosophy but it's what I believe

point being what may seem like nothing could turn out to be anything

Therefore take a chance on anything and everything (within reason) :)

~Addict~

Ronney Apr 2016

~Addict~

At first, it was just one

You said you could stop

"I just want to try one'

But Soon you lost control

one became two

Two turned to four

Soon you were popping pills

Like never before

You'd claw at your skin

Searching for the crawling things

You became erratic

Destructive and frantic

I broke-down

Crying and begging

'Please, won't you stop this'

Don't you see what it's done

Your showing signs already

'It's made you an addict'

Sometimes we aren't able to handle the things we think we can.

That doesn't mean we can't overcome it we just need a little support and help and someone who can see sense when we don't.

~Begins with you~

Ronney Apr 2016

~Begins with you~

When all is wrong with the world

But the world says

'something is wrong with you'

Do you comply to their judgement?

Assessing all that is wrong with you

Picking and prodding

Changing and morphing

Till there's nothing left of you

But a mere whisper of what you once were

Becoming a product of the world

Say this to the world

Say that Your life

begins and ends with you

~ Perfection in flaws ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ Perfection in flaws ~

I once believed

perfection was beauty

But it took me years

To finally see

That perfection is flaws

Just worn beautifully

~ just felt like saying that all flaws come with beauty~

Poems a little on the rough side sorry :)

Strands of grey

Ronney Apr 2016

Strands of grey

Age has worn us away

Our youth we now crave

moving with aching bones

Baring Wrinkles deeply sewn

These strand of grey show

That one day, we must all grow old

The puppet & the Puppeteer

Ronney Apr 2016

The puppet & the Puppeteer

Pull at my strings

Make me do things

Under your control

I have no hope

Party as I go

It's a facade that I show

For I am your puppet

And you the puppeteer

Dear sister

Ronney Apr 2016

Dear sister

Dear sister

Why do you stay?

Through your suffering?

Through your pain?

he's marked the flesh

I see the shame

If only you'd speak the truth.

Give in his name

Dear sister

You know, I love you dear

Iv tried to keep you close

Though you shrink back in fear.

Dear sister

You know, he won't stop

You say that he loves you

Yet, the bruises say more

Dear sister

Show no fear

Please have strength

Leave before death appears

Dear sisters and brothers (that's right I said brothers) speak up tell the truth and free yourselves.

speak out if you need help.

Sorry to any men victims of violence also because Iv put focus on women but I know that men suffer violence against them sometimes at the hands of women or men so I apologise.

Strong & weak

Ronney Apr 2016

Strong & weak

The Strong do not cry

They Show no fear

The strong drown out their sorrows

They become drunks

smiling, ear to ear

The weak cry out

Show their fear

Share vulnerability

Bloodshed and tears

Strong has pride

Weak has humility

What is strong?

What is weak?

sorry first poem to get started anywho thankyou to anyone who reads :)

- what is strong and what is weak?

Personally i feel as though the stereotypical traits that deem a person to be strong or weak are very contradictory.

There has to be strength to show vulnerability or weakness ( at least that's what I think ) which was kinda what I wanted to get across though I didn't do a great job but I'll learn and get better :)

Anywho feel free to give your thoughts on what identify being strong or weak as.
