Its been a while since I've felt love.
Truthfully the love and affection I had for you has faded.
My thoughts are racing. You're the only one I truly wanna be with, but I can't because I'm numb and can't feel anything anymore. Maybe one day we can start over and have the sparks that we once felt in our relationship.
Horrible writing

I AM GRATEFUL---
for having my family
my five granddaughters, especially
they are safe and healthy
we have roof over our heads and
clothes to keep us warm
there is always food on our table...

I AM GRATEFUL, THAT ---
on each new day,  i am able to
get up, alone...without much effort
can wash my face, brush my teeth,
clean my bathroom regularly
take a shower on my own
cook what i want to eat,
eat alone...
change the curtains in our house,
change my bedsheets without help,
as often as i want to...

I AM GRATEFUL, THAT I ---
still celebrated another birthday
was able to say THANK YOU!
will be with family and friends on Thanksgiving day
made scary decors for Halloween
decked our house with a tree and lanterns before December
hang stars, angels in corners and in between
am strong enough to put them all away when Christmas is over...


I AM GRATEFUL I AM STILL ABLE TO WITNESS
how a night of fireworks and celebrations
easily segues into a day of new beginnings...


I AM GRATEFUL THAT I CAN ---
write, share my thoughts, my moments,
look back to the past with a smile,
find contentment where i am now,
be with good friends, old and new,
look forward to my future,
wake up to each new day
and another.......and
another.....and
another...
and
A N O T H E R .

Thanksgiving must come with every breath
For we are showered with Blessings without end...

Laugh like you've never known sadness,
Smile genuinely like you don't know how to frown,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like noones listening,
Dance like you're the only one with eyes to see your moves,
Pray like the first time you did when you knew of your Saviour,
Believe and have faith,like a young child.
Life  is  short .
How to love..
Accept flaws,
      Don't brush off the wrongs,rather;correct them..
      Be truthful,lies harm,
Be open minded,
Don't expect perfection,.
Be patient,be kind..
Love with all your heart,
Open your eyes to see the wrongs and separate them from the rights
Not to judge but to make things right,
Don't pretend to be happy when you clearly aren't,
Instead work things out.
Etc etc
One of the most abused gifts of life,
Even toothpaste commercials use it to advertise,
Brings pleasure whilst leaving others in deep strife,
Its one thing that creates soul ties,
It deserves more than just physical feelings to be undergone,
Though,it seems in this area we have chosen to be ignorant and to harden our hearts like stone,
As long as we satisfy our momental desires..
And when the deed is done,our conscience fights itself then retires..

It retires from caring who the deed is done with later on..
Reminder...
"Black Man Murders White Cop!"
"White Man Shoots Up Black Church!"
"School Shooter Targets Christians!"
Media paints the canvas of
The world in black and white.

The canvas is torn and taped
Back together; the cracks filled
In and covered up, like they were
Never there. Ignorance is bliss, and
What isn't seen isn't there, right?

Unfortunately, the thirst for
Hatred erased all of the
Colors of the rainbow, and
Pitted the remaining, black and
White, against each other.

It's impossible to paint the entire
World in one color and expect
It to be beautiful, unique, diverse.
One cannot just take away the colors
That are vital to such a masterpiece.

as I slowly take my last breath
I reminisce on my past
Looking at my life from a different perspective
Seeing all of the positive things
Thinking about how fast everything went by
As I take my last breath ai realize that I have lived out my life successfuly achieving goals that I've always wanted
Including you as my trophy
As I take my last breath I knew it was rime to pull the plug........... The End

homepage flooded
with poetry written
on topics such as
suicide,
hate,
harm,
loss,
pain
&
death;

we like it
and scroll down
we repost it
keep scrolling
we add it to our collection
and just like that
moments later
words forgotten
moved on

"next poem, please"
as if the poem
existed without
a person in pain
backing it up
as if behind the words
there was no soul
cracking at the seams
as if the poem itself
held more significance
than the (wo)man behind the pen

the least we could do
is acknowledge the existence
of the broken poet
behind the beautifully saddening poem
// all the best poetry is based off of pain //

You
You're all that I think about;
You're the reason I awake to a new day;
You're the reason I smile;
You bring out my true happiness;
It's just you, it's always been you;
You're the reason I'm still here;
You're not always there, but I feel you with me, imagining your smile;
I just love (You).
