Now I shouldn't be a little afraid if I pluck up the courage and measure myself once. I stand on the two tongues of a scale; I wonder how much my crimes actually show? And was I the only one to make a mistake?! Among traitors and accomplices, who... – by Norbert Tasev | added by oasev

spent his time
praying to a god
who won't listen
calling a line
that won't answer
singing a song
he didn't write
and
reading a book
he doesn't even like
what else was there to do?
he had to pray and
he had to call her and

I love thee like the heavens composed.
I love the more than the stars numbered.
I love thee deeper than all the oceans.
I loved thee before time was.
I will love you until there is no time.
I knew you before your birth.
I placed my precepts... – by Mary Angeles Mendoza | added by marym.39751

As the parlance between the rosebud and honeybee continue on a Spring day.
A wordless, meaningless conversation some would say.
But the prose of life, lies within the character of being
who exhibits finesse and richness of his insight.
So, the... – by Luther James Maddox | added by luthermaddoxroxy

Can’t sleep, my mind is going crazy, tears rolling down my cheek i haven't been doing good lately.
My therapist said I should get out of bed, and confide in my friends, but id rather pretend.
Say I’m alright as i lie through my teeth and cover my... – by Amanda odian | added by mooncake666

Do you treasure
perplexity
strive to confuse
doubting the obvious
pandering the ruse
Do you live inside
cloud cover
avoiding the sun
exposure avoided
your fear on the run
Do you hide
behind bombast
the panderer’s lie
your costumes... – by Kurt Philip Behm | added by KurtPhilipBehm

Shhh, let’s not speak on what we feel
….it will become real. Words spoken under cover of a soft breath that burns with a yearning you can barely describe.
Shhh, let’s not pretend that what this is doesn’t scare you, keep you awake at night... – by Violet Echo | added by DNCrim77

In a forest where time stood hushed and still,
Two bears roamed, in search of their will.
Their fur, a tapestry of ancient tales,
Whispered secrets in the wind's soft wails.
Amidst the trees, a lone cat did tread,
With eyes of amber, and a... – by Rachell Serrano | added by rachserrano17

To starve - To be alone hungry and none offer help. To eat garbage just because. To tear a muscle in your self because you have no food. In a country with a bountiful crops we stave and die on the streets and freeze to death in summer. To starve... – by Larry Lowry | added by Lowlarr

Why don't you want to be yourself
And show what you can do?
Don't hide away upon a shelf
As if your life was through.
Don't worry if the others care
About your personal style.
It's not your job to please them where
They say is not your... – by Steve Cochrane | added by stevec.24118

I mostly like to be outside
When clouds are in the sky.
The wind can make them dance with pride
With Eagles way up high.
The trees join in and dance around
While swaying here and there.
If you try hard, you'll hear the sound
That wind makes... – by Steve Cochrane | added by stevec.24118

A hero is someone that helps someone in need.
A hero is someone that cares for others.
A hero can be anyone.
A hero can be your mother.
A hero can be your father.
A hero can be a brother.
A hero can be your sister.
A hero can be your aunt or... – by Victoria Ecklund | added by Vickymouse82

• Wedding Wobbles
I’m 89 and feeling fine ‘cause memories keep me young.
It started on my wedding day, while Songs of Praise were sung.
A reverent silence followed ‘til a guttural croak rang out.
A bridesmaid, sick, had heaved her lunch1... – by Doreen Jones | added by doreen_b
