Please don't cry poor

ask yourself why you write a poem .....

this is what i see

this is what I hear 

‘life is so hard

i am so full of fear

life treats me bad 

blame does not belong to me

let me cry poor

in the writers cafe for sympathy’

oh god golly gosh 

this is not your diary

life is not easy 

and yes I am fiery 

it sickens me so 

when everyone does whine

you have food on your plate 

be thankful you swine

there are others less fortunate

all round the earth 

others who find beauty 

and shine through with their mirth

they stand strong and resilient

asking for naught 

but you - you keep crying 

caught up in your thought 

let that s**t go 

learn inner strength 

i don’t want to read words of whining 

not at any length 

its your life you know 

yes I say you 

make sure the words that your offer 

reflect you right through 

shed light in the world 

and follow you light will 

happiness is waiting 

for you to grab still 

its there around the corner 

awaiting your call 

so come on don't winge

on this site anymore ! 

with love of course !!

i don't think it is a cold heart...sometimes people wallow in self-pity and drama and don't even try to help themselves get out of the doldrums...although i think poetry is a good release for the pain...after awhile we certainly do have to "let the s**t go!"

"let that s**t go

I agree with your thoughts. Somethings need to be forgotten and left behind. Some scars are hard to lose. Death, rape,abuse and depression. I was born with a cold heart. I watched people die at four years old. Easy for cold in heart to move on. Even I learn sadness and regret. I was Honor Guard at good friends funerals. There is a different from whining and teaching. Sometime we can learn from the sadness and heartache of another. I agree love and kindness is the way. Also mourning and releasing sadness can help. Even only in private journal. Thank you for writing about my favorite topic. Writing.

I thank you for reading, sometimes I think I have a cold heart, but then I remember that it is a strength to be able to look at life the way I do... we all have our lessons in life, we just need to recognise them, and then act on them to walk through and become even stronger x x x Take Care x x

AMEN to that… sad part is that many are adults… why can't people just appreciate what they have instead of focusing on what they don't…. some of the poorest people come home happiest at the end of the day. As I stated once "If you hear the sound of your heart breaking ay least you can still feel it beating."

Hmmmm ... when I found this site I thought it may be able to help me improve my writing and be inspired ... I choose to focus of the light and smile and laugh, I know that not everyone is like that and I can appreciate it - but I am here for the writing, not for my daily journal :) x x

Oh I understand, I have grown a lot because of writers I met on this site. You just got to muddle through the dust to find shiny treasures.

make sure the words that your offer (YOU'RE OFFERED)???
reflect you right through

shed light in the world
and follow you light will (YOUR LIGHT WITH WILL)???
happiness is waiting
