Trespassing in the wake of hope
I rise to the challenge of looking for optimism in all aspects of drama
To feel charged is preferable to being drained
What's the worst that could happen apart from the already inevitable
Thomas Gover Oct 2018
I once knew a tree that was as tall can be
When I looked up at it it went further than my eyes could see

It was so majestic in its brown and green glory
So strong and old and filled up with stories

I would climb that tree and go as high as I could
I wouldn't reach the top though, I knew I never would

I could always see the tree, no matter where I stood
It was like a city skyscraper, but made of wood

That tree hid secrets that I would never know
But every once in a while a tidbit it would show

A whisper here and a hint there
Slowly but surely I learned the loads that tree bears

For years and years it grew and grew
It knew not why it, knew not for who

But it grew nonetheless for it knew it had to
It reached to the heavens, it went towards the big blue

Hardships were faced, and hardships were beaten
Many times the world would have the trees growth impeedened

Drought, fire, man, and beast all tried their best but the never could beat
For the tree fought through, it knew it had to, it continued to strive and only gave its enemies defeat

As the tree grew it gained more perspective
It saw that nurtured those below and the tree began to love what it protected

The birds, the squirrels, the fauna, the tree loved them all and defended them from trauma
The tree now knew why it grew, it grew to defend those below it from worldly drama

The tree, resplendent in its height saw that it had a duty to protect others, it had a right
Through perseverance and strife the tree had grown tall and provide a home to any under the suns light

So now the tree stands today, its job never done, defending those who rely on it
And I stand below just thinking how I am so fortunate

To negativity in the world.
To losing hope.
To not letting go of the past.
To bad mistakes that are made.
To having bad dreams.
To fighting a fight that can't be win.
To so much violence that's all around the world.
To living a life in fear.
To being around so much drama.
To being hurt by others.
To having a weak mind, and not having a strong will.
To insecurity
To not being respectful to others.
To not being able to forgive.
To not believing in who you really are.
To not keeping the faith.
To not believe that you are a winner.
To not being proud of who you are.
To letting your pride get in the way.
To crying any more tears.  
To being afraid of ask for help.
To being lost in the world.
To falling, and feeling like you can't get up.

So it's time to close some doors to open up a new door for a new beginning.
so close that bad door to open up a great door of new and beautiful beginning.

Jim was over dealing with people who asked his opinion and they wouldn't listen. He was over all the crazy that's why he was disconnected.
He cared he got the cold shoulder. The family would include him bring in on the drama. Jim refused to let them bring him down, so he mind his mouth and business.
After a few bad relationships; he chose to be single. Burned by a few friends it was easier to be alone. He didn't want people in his way, or slowing down.

Respect for others
Raised that way
Hard to trust
The broken shatter others
Over being ******* over
Stayed away
So much betrayal
It's not normal
Aim to be happy
Not settle for less
Unforgiven by deceivers
Not one to change others
Tired of the ways of lies
The phony are praised for wicked ways
Kept out for caring in a fallen world
A heart that will not turn to stone
But not taking crap
Provoked avoiding drama
Jenni Littzi May 2019
I didn’t want to give it all up
But it was just all too much
And now I can’t get enough

I was physically falling apart
Losing it all just one-by-one
Then he had to break my heart

Made a lot of mistakes
Yet caught some breaks
We all have an expiration date
I hope my dreams aren’t that far away

I never wanted any goodbyes
But it was all too much drama and lies
And it all nearly cost me my life

Letting go is real hard to do
When do many left you *******
But everyone’s life’s go on too

Made a lot of mistakes
Yet caught some breaks
We all have an expiration date
I hope my dreams aren’t that far away

Always getting too close, too soon
Always expecting to reach the moon

Made a lot of mistakes
Yet caught some breaks
We all have an expiration date
I hope my dreams aren’t that far away
Love Exchanges
Matters of the heart go through very many changes
Most of the time its angst which takes over heart
Pain of heart takes us through many lovee exchanges
It is a set of very events of part and to depart

Love remains constant pain to go through life
Beloved remains centre of gravity in this drama
Rivals play tricks on lovers with poisonous knife
For dejected, depressed lovers life is trauma

My sweetheart take care of my heart lest it stops
Its your smile which reinvigorates my spirtiis to live
Beauty is the sole treasure to tops or to chops
Let me drive to strive and thrive not to but drive

She smiled as she wiped her tear
The breath she took was bold and sheer
The wet eyes suddenly started to sparkle
As she stepped out of her fear

Her voice got deep as she mumbled to herself
Make it difficult for others to hear
Cause the promise was made to keep within her own heart
The engraved words on the heart was so vivid and clear

She decided to draw the curtains and end the drama
Felt so beautiful in that old T-shirt and striped pajamas
Cause now she was not impressing the world anymore
She felt relieved and blissful as she came out of that trauma

She felt so contented as she fell in love with herself
All her worries got disappeared as she bid them a farewell
She finally found her true companion deep inside her own heart
When she learned how to enjoy solitude and how to embrace oneself

Doing his job avoiding the drama
Headphones in ears blocking it out
Sweaty from the bike ride to work
Keeping it clean part of the assignment
Listening to a mixed play list with jams
Another funny story on the podcast
Laughing and smiling making a joke
Sterilize the steel killing germs
Wiping and dusting for dust bunnies
Thinks about writing with nothing to say
Whatever comes to mind things are fine
There are days
When I need a song
That’s powerful enough
To take my mind off myself
And my problems.

Not a lot
Of drama
But a strong message
With powerful delivery.
Oh, for such a song.
Infamous one Oct 2018
In the middle of it all
Staying away from the drama
In my room finding strength
Confidence to grab onto courage
Took on others burdens to help
Not helping myself became a problem
Worked extra hard because it's right
Coming up short feeling ******* over
Learned to say no or no thank you
Suppose to be a team, doing all the work
Did it for me, you made it about yourself
Listened to everyone's problems
No one cares about mine no time for them
Vented how I feel so I can feel better
Made it where yours are more important
That's why I write hoping others understand
Or they can relate they are not alone
Feels good to be understood not taken for granted
Can people listen without twisting my words
Asked for an opinion, no help was given
Don't tell me how to live, you don't got it together
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2018
Life should not be an open book,
It would be relegated to a shelf,
Covered with dust,
No one interested to turn a page to read till the end.
Life should have ups and downs,
Spiced with sorrow, happiness,
Tears and laughter.
Life  should be like a movie,
Full of drama and action,
With fear full of suspense,
A little bit of horror,
Never forget to sprinkle it with comedy.

Never too late to achieve success
Be great pursue passion
Sometimes avoiding the drama
Better to confront not accept defeat
Time to grow finish whats started
Once lost focused on the journey
A lost lover that couldn't be saved
Death of a sibling placed in a grave
Memories not always the same
Part of life welcomed the change
Time will heal from a deep struggle
eileen Aug 2017
There's no more passion
No more loyalty
No more sincerity

Each day the air is polluted
One day the sky will be black
No stars at night to shine

No more compassion
No more laughing
So serious

All hating
All fighting

Digging for the next
Big thing

No more trust
Everyone for themselves

Stay in your home

Where did all our "good" friends go

Where did the real love go

The peace of our daily life
Filled with
Thoughts and concern
Of these days

Quiet phones
No more calls
Or messages

Can we sleep
With so many countries at rage

All this pointless drama
Over things that don't matter

When will we all get together

To accept the new world
The new generation


So much confusion
To write down

We don't want to

We shouldn't have to

Letting it go because holding onto things consumes you becomes a distraction that ends up being a waste of time. So many toxic people that's why it's easier to role solo. Keeping secrets for others too bad they are quick to spill mine making gossip. Never talked about them but they are quick to point out others flaws, no one is talking about them. So they cause drama to feel relevant to feed their insecurities.
Able to rest relax sad how you can't be honest with people they'll destroy you and think they did you a favor. If you spoke up they get insulted play the victim debate why their actions are justified when clearly it's all BS. They won't listen to others and expect others to hear them out. They'll get the same treatment on how they treat others.
It's such a downer and drains everyone involved. Everyone is hurt no one wins what's the point of all this everyone is worse off instead of better. You forgive them and moved on. While they are stuck still holding that burden trying to use it against you.

AMATEUR DRAMATICS

between the acts
the real life
drama occurs

Claudius and Laertes
are as( rumour has it )
"...having it off..."

Hamlet is indeed in love with
his mummy but his mummy
doesn't want to know

Polonius has the hots
for the ghost but
he hasn't a ghost of a chance

Ophelia and Gertrude
have just broken up
Ophelia almost mad with grief

the play's the thing wherein
we catch the private lives of
these living human beings
Infamous one Oct 2018
Always inspired by others
If they aren't doing anything
Feels like I need to be doing something
Too bad I can't do everything
Can only do so much in this life time
Not going out anymore since I'm sober
Minding my own use to being alone
Don't make plans with others most lag
Then have the nerve to be mad
Included everyone tired of waiting
Told myself to not be a hater
So many people to not act like
Can't be anyone else
Being myself all I know
Being in a group no one can grow
One does more work than the rest
How do lazy ppl just talk
Sad they are useless
Like they are somebody over the hype
Take credit for doing nothing
Talking smack gets on my nerves
Too bad they don't got it together
Get paid then bounce out
All this drama I can do without
Infamous one Aug 2019
Lots of thoughts flowing
Some feel right make sense
Others race driven by insanity
Things are well feeling at ease
Something is missing dk what
Seeking closure faced fears
New drama from people
Cut them off forna reason
Same old thing not going back
Guess who's back, back again?
(snitch is back, snitch is back)
I've created a monster inside of me
no longer the pretty, petty and kind girl
I am tired from all of the drama
It's been distracting me, non-stop now
In oceans deep, I will not curse you
but I hope you drown, *****
When oceans rise, like lion roaring
You were the prey, he will devour
God knows and sees my pain, I know
you've been in pain too
but I can't stand your scandalous deals
bruh, "you are educated but scandalous at the same time"
I looked up to you, treated you as the G.O.A.T
but nah, instead, you are the literal goat
The scapegoat.
believed you were saved by a handkerchief with Latin prayers
you sold your soul to the devil
now you can't see me eye to eye
strongly believed, you did had a faith in the eye of Horus
but never believed in the power of our God, our personal savior and creator
you were dark, I was bright and pure
forgiven, point taken.
but i never forgot, honey
I do forgive, but what you did is never forgotten.

So, everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy
listen now to what I am about to say

Snitch is back, *****
She rose form the grave
she never sleeps in hay day
and even back at night too.
black candles, lit
black and red roses, petals on the floor
caskets opened, unburied body
dead or alive
I never cared less of what I should be caring for

Hello’s Pain

A beginning has to
end. When you leave
my friend, as you turn, I split
in half. I mask the pain

in a laugh. This heart is
broken. For every word said
a dozen not spoken. I fail over
and over. Some things for me

haven't closure. This I picked up
from mama -
Every life has some drama.
I'm walking through a stage

carrying my props. Weeping
in the backdrop as the players
pass. I stand to drain.
Goodbye’s pain.

we all have in our own(ed)
personal debtors prison,
a chained inner child
asking always:
Am I there yet ?

sad smiling,
a 'no you are not,'
for to freedom day to arrive,
the child must unlock the chains,
no one else can be
permissioned!

someday he'll, rebelent,
will comprehend that
wishing insufficient,
asking nice,
once, thrice, millions
can’t break
the padlock,
And you have to walk away from the inner child,
Leave it to starve
Leave it to die
Leave it to be free
And just a regular grown-up guy!

So saddened
There will be no return
There will be no funeral
No keepsake memories
For the keeping
No capital letters
Just a path
Large yellow arrow pointing
This a way
Bluntly and without fuss, un accompanied by any special invitation,

You leave behind the writhing child
plodding forward,
Slightly offkilter, slightly off balance,
But no longer writhing,
Just drifting from the course,
Ever so slightly
Which is drama plenty,
But there is no morning mourning for the child left behind

Are you the movie or the commercial,
the story or its cost

The question quite subversive

The clock struck midnight
Christmas was here
Another fun day of the year
Kids excited for presents
Toys that require assembly
Family comes together
Catching up with one another
Separate busy life's
Keeps everyone apart
A night of rainy weather
Time with loved ones a gift
Festive foods to eat for the night
Lots of sweets delicious treats
Not about material possessions
Those life lessons with growth
Smiles of joy kids with new toys
New clothes for school really cool
A gathered meal filled with love
Family first above all the drama
Once divided now reunited

the past can hang around your mind,
a permanent nightmare recurring,
you can see your ancestors reactions
the way they carried themselves
in all the ways you handle life's drama
haunted by thoughts that you are mad
its only a matter of time before another death
takes away one more strata of your being
you must break free, yes you must break free
the mantra piercing the recurring nightmare.

Go on
With your drama
With your conditional love
With whatever pleases you and makes you happy
Cause it is all about you always will be
Forgiving you isn’t possible
Haven’t got time for the pain or grief any longer
Won’t go back there or go there again
As others give Thanks today
My Thanks is realizing that life goes on
And you will find it goes on without me

Once you sober up
Not knowing who you are
Trying to figure it out
Detoxing from all the drama
Asking who I am
What I need to do

Untitled
I needed a break
so I threw my self into all the things that needed to be done every day and neglected you for some time
for 3 months or so
I have never been away from you for so long
but that should have been enough time to cleanse the mind
I am happy to say that the tears are gone
the wall is slowly going up
I am ok with this
I need to focus on me
I gave you way to many chances
too many fresh starts
bid you goodnight with hey don't worry tomorrow is a new day
well now that's going to change
It isn't really me it was always you
I took the first step and then second and kept on going
but like always you never stayed in one place
you were actually all over the place
and I always found myself in a mess and had to stay calm no matter what
because well, one of us had to be grounded
That should have been your job too at times
especially when I got tired of the drama and feelings and wanted to feel and understand no more then the warm embrace of your arms
it would have been more then enough to shake away the cold thoughts and insecurities
I smiled and exuded confidence but most of the time for your own benefit
Now I cant even do that for myself
I have formed the habit of staring into the distance and thinking hard
so hard that people now think that I am always mad
mad at world
when truthfully I am just mad at you
I know, that's long overdue
but it's true
so mad I could scream cry and break things but I wont
I will just continue to stare as the wall goes up
I don't mind
I am ok with that
Hey can anyone suggest a good title for this poem
I wrote it just because but am stuck on the name for this
We are complex creatures wrapped in layers of tissue
Our blood stained heart paints our world
Does it bring us life or pain
Do we flood in water or dance in rain
Does the sunshine highlight our refrain or does it let us blossom to the spirits of our gain
Our eyes capture the beauty or misery of the developing film being played
We can choose to sit back and regain our composition or be brought into the drama again and again
With time not mechanical
We will learn
The love The turning inside our hearts
We are everything and yet nothing
From subconscious the conscious
parts
Infamous one Mar 2019
Wake up for work
Get it done right
Be consistent it done
Stay efficient maintain
Made it striving through
Felt guilty over success
Never apologize for trying
Did too much and care
Everyone is ******
Slowed down for a second
Everyone thinks the worse
Others think something is wrong
Things are well earned it
Stopped listening to crowd
Walk alone for sometime
Doing things solo
Mind the mouth
Avoid drama

— The End —
