Poetry

Maybe I

mywords2228

Put too much faith in others that I lost my way.

Which made me lose myself along the way.

Leading me on a path of destruction so fast I didn’t see how I arrived.

I just knew things were off when there was no longer anyone around me.

My eyes were open, and my reality is of the situation was clear.

I had to rebuild and focus on myself before allowing myself to bring someone else into my life.

Only time will tell if I stay on this new path or end up stumbling off again.

Poetry

I did

mywords2228

What you told me to do, and it turns out you were right.

As my day grew with so much hope and faith at this moment, you helped me get to.

I was grateful and honored that you had faith in me.

The little bird that saw the world for what it is and takes pieces from it.

To turn things into more than an ugly picture.

She makes art into something of hope and joy.

Even when she doesn’t feel like being so hopeful.

Because life sometimes shakes you up, and when you fall, you will get back up.

And you see everything differently because you don’t want to make the same mistakes

Trust the same people who hurt you before, you won’t hold a grudge, but you won’t forget either.

Poetry

To wake up

mywords2228

To a life that seems so simple

And going places isn’t happening fast enough.

But my hope of making more out of this life is vital and determined.

Because I didn’t come this far to give up the hope for I am not alone in this situation.

Even though it feels that way because I see and feel no love or support.

I know it’s there waiting for me to keep fighting for what I want in this life.

For one bad day won’t wreck all the good days have done for me.

You are

mywords2228

All special to me as five years ago, I felt so lost in this world, and I took a very vulnerable step in my life and started to write a poetry blog.

And it has helped me in so many ways grow as a writer and now as an almost published author of my first poetry book, and like every day, your views and comments of my work help me to continue to write and be inspired and encouraged to continue to write.

So I’m asking for a flavor today as a friend to some and a fellow writer to others if you would join my launch team, as my book is about to be published on January 31, and yes, I know that’s 12 days away.

I will send you my book, which is short and comes with a small gift to tell me how relatable the poem is or how you felt reading my poems.
Here’s the book cover in a 3D MOCK OF IT.

Here’s the book cover in a 3D MOCK OF IT.

Just comment if you are interested, and we can go from there, but if you don’t have the time, that’s fine. Maybe you can show me some love once it launches, and I will let you know when my promo week is if you rather get it free and leave a review that way.

Thanks for your continuous support,

Love Deirdre.

A great man that made a difference, and maybe one day we will all make a difference in our lives, rather big or small, it will be great!

Poetry

Time is

mywords2228

Running out, and I don’t know how to slow it down at this point.
Even when I gain an inch, I still don’t seem to be making much progress.
And right now isn’t the time to be behind as I’m so close to completing this goal.
The one goal I’ve put off for years and years until I finally took the leap that shook up my walls and let in so many good things.
And let out all the doubt and darkness that was holding me back until now.
I smile for I’ve come so far but frown when things keep getting in my way but still, I push on in hopes it will come true and end the way it’s always was supposed to.
