Ronney: Poems

Ronney Apr 2016

Slowly losing my mind

Fading out of day and time

Brain reduced to filth and grime

Withdrawing from man kind

A Recluse in a questioning state of mind

#sanity

~ steps to peace ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ steps to peace ~

The worlds problems will never cease

Without mediators and adversaries for peace

Our mission will not be complete

Until it's achieved

Please

Take a step with me

In the direction of where we want to be

**In the world of peace

~ it seems that the world only develops to become more violent. We need people who are willing to be adversaries of peace we also need to re-educate ourselves in learning when to walk away from fights and the power of compromise

#peace

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

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.

~ 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

~ the child brides ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ the child brides ~

Tricked and drugged

My childhood was robbed

The trade of child brides

Would be my demise

Not seen as a person

For this I curse them

Had I a choice

I'd choose avoid

Being a child bride

The fate I can no longer deny

Because I am a child bride

~ child brides is an ongoing practise that has only come to light in recent years lets work towards putting an end to this

The first step is awareness :)

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

~ thick skin, thins out ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ thick skin, thins out ~

Eventually we all burnout

To wear the mask is a work out

But it's comfort in the form of a hideout

Used to lockout

All self doubt

But we all break down

As

thick skin, thins out

____

be aware that the people that seem to have the
thickest skin have the softest hearts holding all the feelings in waiting for a time when its okay to Break apart

That's mostly on their own, so that no one knows *how Much they hurt

~ understanding ~

Ronney May 2016

~ understanding ~

Sometimes*

one can't provide reasoning

But seeks understanding

In difficult circumstances
~~~~~~~

~ when we don't understand we demand answers for our own clarity

Answers can't always be given so we must understand to the best of our abilities and learn to be content

I feel nothing but pain

I won't lie to my self

Saying "Ill be okay"

Facing these demons everyday

I hope in time

I'll find the strength to slay

Only then, will I ever really be

okay

~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 :)

~ Vent ~

Ronney Apr 2016

~ Vent ~

As pressure builds

Stress is revealed

Angers takes the wheel

Talking is not ideal

At the point where i feel

Theres No escape from this ordeal

Issues too real

Screaming helps so I can deal

With what i feel

~ Many handle anger in a number of ways, i handle it by screaming because iv been brought to the brink of insanity and its the only realse that doesnt involve me doing something completely stupid also it my way of venting

#angry #vent

~ Walls ~

Ronney Oct 2016

~ Walls ~

Walls made to protect oneself

Only cause

Isolation** *from everyone else

~ as people we crave to make deeper connections with those around us

~ To do that you have to be willing to lower your barriers (not all at once but gradually)

~ challenge: get out of isolation, rejoin the world and this time be a little more open :) as difficult as it is we can at least try

~ 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

~ Where are you going? ~

Ronney May 2016

~ Where are you going? ~

Either

you're going fast to nowhere

Or**

going Slowly to somewhere

~~~~~~~~

~ why do we rush through life?

~ why not just take it slow and enjoy the scenery?

~ the destination is always there but you must decide how to get there

#destination
