I love short poems like that.  Impact in the shortest possible time. That's great!!

Do I or don't I,

The question lingers in my mind,

Aimlessly staggering through time,

The answers I cannot find.

Deep down inside myself is where I dive,

Desperately trying to overcome the shame, 

To find the hope and feel alive.

I'm screaming and I'm shouting on the inside,

Nobody knows my inner rage,

I do everything I can to run away and hide,

I have conversations in my head,

Just like the ones thunder and lightning have,

And the question remains am I alive or living.

There is a tingle in my hand,

Things around me freeze and time floats by so slow,

Even the hourglass and its sand.

And so it seems all good things come to an end,

This thing inside me is slowly sinking in,

And I am left asking myself is it for or friend.

Hi NNumb,  lots of feeling there. think last line was foe not for but guessed it.

This must be your therapy....poetry.

THE CORNER OF THE BUSH

Giving society a gentle push

arrived at the corner of the bush

moved fast lane aside for harmony

closer to ones own destiny

Shadow moon shines infinitely

night owls a symphony

sitting, arms in Buddha pose

allow a spider to dance upon your nose

Furry paws best caring hand

no mask needed in wonderland

no internet, no dog, no bone

all the stones are never thrown

In the corner of the bush

give society a gentle push

blending bark with your skin

protesters nearby - but they wont win

Children nearby 'hide and seek'

we all end up a compost heap

fun and more fun echoes around

some life lived- some never found

Further and further into branches and leaves

like us- do animals grieve?

bush has no need for duck and weave

only matter- what you believe

Hark the bells of sanity

no mirror for your vanity

cyber rocks thrown from a cowards lair

I'm in the bush- no quarry there

Trip over plastic traps

cradle broken bird in your lap

send society off with that push

from the corner of the bush.......

Yes foe not friend,  it certainly makes me feel better when I write, I just don't do it enough. Should be a priority but isn't.

AND EVEN MORE

Ever taken your last exhaustive step?

then stepped several more and more again?

Ever got to the point of no return

and returned anyway?

Have you ever climbed a hill and it to be your last

then scaled one higher?

Perhaps you worked hard one day?

What about love, what about care?

Have you ever thought you couldnt love someone more

than you already love them- why not?

Or reached out to a sad soul

- to risk being taken advantage of?

When you have emptied your heart to someone and been disappointed, hurt

and cursed- you reach out to them further, not less?

Cradle the ideas of life, yes, reject and discard the cruel, the revengeful, the wicked

but catch the tears of the needy the kind and the caring

Then....just like those mountains...give even more than your heart contains

A flush of emotion will come...it will feel like warm water over your heart,

Perhaps the sole reward, for you dont seek rewards from others, no thankyou's no compensation,

It is why we are here in this world, to give as much as we can....and even more...

WK

only to return and work harder and more hours?

Hi.  I'm new to this site and just recently wrote a thread relating my experiences under the heading Trauma.

I have just finished writing a poem and would like to share it with you.

LOST

I feel so lost and insecure, the road in front is split.  I need direction to carry on, I do not wish to quit.

My day consists of constant struggles, from morning through to night.  The effort it takes to just exist, I know it's just not right.

The daily chores which used to be, a part of my routine. Has now become a mammoth task, with much being left unseen.

When once I used to achieve so much, and feel proud of what I'd done.  I now spend hours thinking, hours passing one by one.

You need to know my life has changed, within the past few years.  It's gone from being in control, to living with my fears.

The memories they have surfaced, and more come day by day. It scares me just to go to sleep, I wish they'd go away. 

Each day I try so very hard, to think of what is good.  To only be distracted by thoughts of my childhood.

I now know what has happened, in that special childhood stage.  I feel so very cheated, that I feel a sense of rage.

A victim of this horrid crime, I know I have to beat.  it takes a special mindset, to not cave in to defeat.

I have so much to live for, and it saddens me to feel.  As if I'm wasting moments, spinning in a wheel.

I now face the decision, of which direction do I take.  As loneliness and isolation, does make my heart so ache.

I feel so lost and insecure, like walking a tightrope.  I need to choose the right road, which leads to joy and hope.

Light   

 The sun shines, The breeze blows,  The sand scorches,  The waves wave,  The blue sky is bright.  But inside is dark where The sun doesn’t shine,  The breeze doesn’t blow,  The sand doesn’t scorch,   The waves don’t wave and The blue sky is black.  Where there used to be you.  You were the sun,   You were the breeze,  You were the sand,  You were the waves,  You were the blue sky,   You were the light,  You were everything, to everyone but inside Your darkness brighter and more blinding than the sun. Can you see now? Has the darkness gone?   Does the sun shine? Does the breeze blow? Does the sand scorch? Do the waves wave? Is the blue sky bright?   Where there once was darkness I hope now there is only light   For Chelsea

First time in here so decided to write a post. I like to write some poetry so here's something I did recently....

I am on a train
on a journey to another domain
i'm feeling the pain
it's just so insane to feel the contain
it's time to see the light
cos nothing is ever black and white
as i reignite the light to fight
wow wow what a big kapow
talk about living in the now
after the big disallow
that hit me in the head like a big plough
time to stop the row
it's all about the here and the now!!

I wish I could go back to the place

where I once felt happiness and joy

I wish I could go back to the place

Where I was your girl and you were my boy

But you misjudged me and you were wrong

You threw it all away

And know I have a dark cloud, over me every day

one day the sun will shine

One day i might move on

But nothing can  change, what you did to us

I have to accept it's gone

Hi guys

This is my first attempt at writing a poem.  

My Little Girl:

There once was a little girl

Who had a cute little curl

She went sent to her neighbour

To ask for a favour

Her neighbour made her sit

And not move one bit

The memories are clear

He sat so near

The little girl was scared

She didn't move her head

He didn't care what he did

The little girl was just a kid

These memories are still here

I wish they would disappear

My little girl I cry for you

I wish there was something I could do

Jo
