the flowers will still poke
up to bloom this spring

and empty airline bottles
will still litter the sidewalks

and good and bad
will still reside
in all of us

and the struggle
between them
will still wage war

regardless
or perhaps
because of
what falls apart
or comes together
all around us

Whenever I have a bad day
I always remember they’re usually followed by
Good ones to come
Mrs Anybody Mar 2020
what are
two drunken
laughing and
making nonsense
whilst
wearing sneakers
and walking
in the snow
around a lake
without
the lamps shining
and cold wind howling?

well,
definitely not
a good idea

but did
this night
make great memories?

definitely
also check out my other poems!  :)

And here I'm writing things
Some are those which describes me
Some that I wish I could be
But the only thing I want to write here
Are words which you require the most
Should I tell you how broken I'm
Or should I just describe how bad I'm with everything
So you could atleast relate to something on this world
To just tell you that you're not alone
Or maybe I could write the ways I'm trying to heal
Anything you want
Anything that can i help with !!!
To all the people who need help if you want someone to talk to I'm here ❤️I may not be a therapist but I will listen to you

If you can't hold on
you'll lose yourself in stages
parts of you have already fallen behind
Try to gather yourself up
being human can be tough
abusiveness is an ugly thing
don't believe the things that you're saying
At Least Try

The bad parts of an experience are what make the best stories.
No one wants to hear you say 'I had a nice time. It was great.' And so on.
They don't want to hear the same thing over and over again.
They want a story no one else can tell them.
If all you experience is good things, you won't have a story to tell.

My teacher said this to me once. I agree.
Also, this is a kind of explanation for Underrated. It's why I think demons have a story to tell; why they're more interesting.

From Things That They Say In Words That They Relate … !!!  
  
It Seems That Their Brains Have FAR TOO MUCH Space ...
In Which They Betray WHERE Their Anger Lays … !!!!!  
  
The ANGER They HOLD That They ...

That's Why They Call NAMES .....
Because They Feel PAIN From Words That EXCLAIM … !!!!!
  
A LACK of INTEGRITY …  
Cos' They're Their ... WORST ENEMY … !!!!!
  
Consciences HURTING … !!!
Because They Keep Skirting With What's DISCONCERTING … !!!

My Mind State Is HIGHER Than Trying To Light FIRES …  
To Prove I'm The MAN Cos' I Already AM … !!!!!!!
  
I Did RIGHT By My Fam' … !!!
While GOOD GUYS Just … " RAN  " … !!!!!
  
I Thought It Was TRUTH …

Who've Caused Human Nature …  
To Lack Natural Flavours That … DENY The Haters …  
A Chance To Express The Lies They ACCEPT ...
As Being THE TRUTH  … Cos' That ISN'T COOL !!!
  
They'll Try To CONVINCE ...  
YES ... YOU And THEMSELVES ...
That You Are NOT WELL !!!!!
While They're ABOVE … "sins" … ?!?
  
That's Where They'll Begin …
So Here's Where I'll END … !!!
  
If They Are … " THE GOOD " … ?!?
And Live …. " HAPPY LIVES " … !!?!!
  
Where Do They Find Time … ???
To … ASSUME In Their Mind …  
That They Have The Right …  
  
To Define …  
  
........... " The Bad Guy " …….…
I think it's pretty clear these days that people really have very little clue how to recognise the real ... " Bad Guys " ...

and I have no reservation in stating that i'm not one of them, hence the poem !
Damian Murphy Mar 2020
Do what it is you love to do
And poetry shall come to you,
Though whatever life puts us through,
Good or bad, may inspire us too.
