Like Nature

We bloom and grow with a bit of sunlight and love.

We become something quite beautiful or handsome.

We become individuals who make their own choices and walk our paths.

But when we come together and help each other out, we can become so much more than a lonely flower on its own.

We can become a whole garden of different types of nature that only we can contribute to.

We were nature and had to grow together to survive and help the humans out.

Would we truly appreciate all we are, or would we continue to cut and break each other down?

Until there is no more beauty when you see what we have become and there are too many gaps for us to fill in, the sadness of what we have become is all we have left to share.

Falling down

With no hope of getting back up again because we have finally reached our breaking point.

And the hope of recovering will not be quick or easy, but we have to go on and not by choice.

The demands are high, and even though we got through it mentally and physically, we are drained.

And the memories of the days will be put away as we move forward and hope for better days and chances for change.

Poetry

I wish

I had the words that needed to be said, and when I spoke those very words, they would always be heeded.

For what I have to say is worth your time not just this once but every single time.

Because sooner or later, I won’t have much to say, and everything you wish I said or didn’t say won’t matter anymore, for I will be long gone.

And maybe then you will regret it or not, and I’m okay with that for now because your downfall will not be mine in the end.

Poetry

I’m not giving

Up even as I’m about to explode from your nagging for the one who is all that I need will get me through this.

And he will do it out of the goodness of his heart and soul.

Because he looks for me doing the good and evil for he is my lord and no one is above him.

He is humble and has my back and means it too.

I’m done playing games with you, so leave me alone with your wicked self; I see right through your mask.

You are as two-faced as the rest, and I hope you realize I mean you no harm, but I’m on a humble and truth-seeking path.

I have no time for bitter people, for I won’t let you or anyone make me resentful or become out of my character.

Life is too short, and I know my purpose isn’t to entertain you for long or at all.

So God bless you, and let’s let go and move forward in the new year in a positive way, for it’s only been seven days.

Smile

Even when everything is going to hell faster than you can breathe in and out.

Smile, for it’s a new year with new hopes and dreams to look forward to.

Smile because you want to, and smile is as beautiful as you and keeps your light shining bright every day.

So smile today as your life depends on it.
