POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
It’s ok
I wonder 💭
So many people so many stories
Too much brokenness too many glory’s
Some say too much some not enough
Some folk are scared some think they’re tough
But all in the end we go to one place
Just one small soul without any face
We all become one with no hatred or greed
Looking upon all us humans in need
So just mind your business, deal only in kind
Don’t mess with our heads, giving stress to the mind
We all are unique, with a path here to follow
Don’t carve out our hearts, leaving depths far too...

Where is home
Home
Where is Home?
Home is who we are
Our uniqueness our quirkiness
Why do we feel we have to fit in another’s Home
Do we walk in and say, you can’t say that in their “Home”
You shouldn’t do that in your “Home”
You shouldn’t wear that in your “Home”
You can’t write that in your “Home”
You shouldn’t have posted that on your “Home”
Why do you act like that in your “Home”
Who’s home are they judging?
Are they ok if you judge their “Home”
Your home is your heart, your soul, your spirit, your emotions.

Energy speaks volumes
Daily yet more, energies around us
But do we pick, without a fuss
Are we equipped, to see the real
Or find the wrong, take time to heal
To be accepted, or broken down
For what you speak, or how you sound
To feel so damaged, yet misunderstood
To build up foundations, if only we could
To open ourself up, to hurt and pain
To see that others, use that for gain
Just rise up upon that, and see who you are
A person of substance who’s now come so far
They have their own demons, for how long they’ve owned
To see you succeed, their...

Don’t
I feel everything
I’ve always known.
Why?
Why me.
Your stupid they said.
She’s crazy.
She’s mad.
Don’t!
Why are you angry?
Why are you I ask.
Why do you distrust me?
Why are you false.
Why are you sad for?
Why are you pretending.
I am your friend!
No your not.
I’m telling you the truth!
Why are you lying.
She’s crazy they said.
No. She just knows.
There’s the truth.
I feel you…. On the inside.

I spoke about me today
I spoke about me today.
Who am I?
Complex I was asked.
Complicated maybe.
No.
Deep, misunderstood.
No.
Sensitively sponge like.
Like an absorbent cloth that soaks up the very essence of feelings.
A taker of emotions.
A keeper of fear.
A circle of energies that grip my very being.
I can’t go anywhere without a rage of torment rushing through me of fear where the unknown lurks.
Who am I?
Why am I feeling this way?
I feel sad, I feel happy, I feel broken, I feel free, I’m light, I’m dark.

Today she
Today she called me a narcissist
I carried her for nine months
I looked into her tiny face
I loved her
She was my baby
My tiny being I had to protect
My little bundle of joy
My only daughter.
The hate I heard was bitter
The words I read were cruel
The pain I felt was murderous
My heart was cut in two.
Single Mum with three
Two sons and little girl.
They all my every part of me
My own special loving world.
But then her mind was taken
Her heart ran cold for me
She pushed me far away ...

Mums girl
I held you in my arms
I looked upon your face
My tiny baby girl 💝
My gift from spirits grace.
I watched you grow and learn.
Your laughter and your joys
Outside playing happily
My baby and my boys.
In all my trialled errors
All learning of my own
I missed the fact your growing
Too soon I’d be alone.
Already you were older
Needing me no more.
At times I’d need my baby
She showed me to the door.
I couldn’t understand
Why did she hate me so
It didn’t get much better
In time I had to go. ...

And now we’re there
The smile that turned my head to yours
The warmth when you walked in my doors
I looked and knew that second then
Id never be alone again
Our souls they met when on that day
You smiled and knew this was our way
A future with, no one to fear
They cannot touch, when we don’t care
We’re meant to be And that’s a fact
Advise from others? They are sacked
Here’s to us, our future life
We are as one, I’ll be your wife
🌹

Then I found you
I thought about you way back then
I think about you now
I prayed and hoped I’d find you
But when it was and how
I asked again and said to him
Please can you pick this time
A man with little human sin.
I laid awake in hope you’d show
I Know it’s time to let it go
The prayers I prayed now to be seen
I wait so hopeful and so keen
he found you now and just for me
Opened eyes so I could see
There you were just as I’d prayed
The happiest girl you have now made
Thankyou for just being you 💝
My days are...

I could see
Deep within your eyes I saw a sunken soul
The hurt you felt, was too hard to control
My love for you was deep, I needed you to see
Was not for me to keep, you couldn’t see the me
I held your heart in mine, I loved you oh so true
You found someone to hurt, to make feel oh so blue
I begged you not to pain, the depths within my soul
To make me suffer was your aim, to hurt and heal and claim
To hit me hard emotionally, there that was your game.
I loved you like no other, soulmates yes we were
But anger you held deep within
Nothing could...

your an angel
Always in my life believed
God had made a special breed
A product of much love and grace
Of love and caring, smiling face
He knew we needed help at times
darkest hours, meanest crimes
He chose a few for those in need
No selfishness or hate or greed
He sent them down to walk with us
He knew they'd never make a fuss
He chose a halo free from sight
The glow within, the only light
They hold you up when down you fall
Strengthen us to stand up tall
A smile for to help us through
Times when we are feeling blue
Giving when the need...

This time I am home to stay
In my life no more dismay
All I ask is time to heal
Money for a decent meal
Clothes upon my back to wear
A happy face without a tear
Now my life is just for me
Happiness is mine to see
No more giving out to others
No more pain sent from my brothers
I can do this, I can try
To my past, I say goodbye.
