Reality
Over the past few months and a year, I've lost people I hold dear
I'm still alive, but I must confess it's hard to bear
I'll be lying if I say I don't know why, it's all clear
I'm sure they know too, because they're not here
Is it family members that left without a word?
Or a lover that left with my world?
Is it friends who became formal as we communicated?
Now, it feels like we all never bonded
Life Goes On, they say
Some things are inevitable, try as you may

Super Human
I'm holding back tears as I write
Nobody believes that I ever shed tears
That sometimes I'm overwhelmed and I give way to tears
I'm no super human
I'm holding back the pain in my thoughts
It hurts deep inside, yet nobody believes I'm in fear
I struggle and pray that I continue, this pain to bear
I'm no super human
I'm holding back tears as I write
But it rolls down my cheeks and then disappears
And then I'm blank like it was never there
I'm no super human
I'm holding back the pain in my thoughts
Well, I'm afraid I'm still in pain and in fear
But I hope and pray that it will soon disappear
I'm no super human

TWO
Stunning, your gait
Staring at you, I lose track of time
Stunning, your smile
The same a Queen dishes out to her 'King Charming'
I'm right here, behind your gate
Always here to watch you - just in time
Always here to steal glances, although I've walked a mile
I'm sure you know I'm here, stop pretending
We are all thieves, are we not?
Stealing glances, stealing hearts once upon a time
I hope someday we will be caught walking down the aisle
Hand in hand, two of us, showing off all we have been stealing

Problems and Pain
Some say, "a problem shared is half solved"
Others say "a problem shared is a problem solved"
For me, I think it depends on whom the problem was shared with
Imagine sharing, and becoming overwhelmed with regret
I take that sharing gives some kind of internal peace
The kind that comes from having someone to confide in with ease
But then, regret sets in
Especially when they let that information cause a crack in between
Like a boat drifting
They move away like you're some sick thing
It's life, you really don't know who will hold you down
One way you'd find out is when you're really down

- missdontknowwhattofeel You share your problems looking for a listening ear and later on because of sharing, other problems will arise

Broken
You know how I feel
But you glide by
You see that I've lost the will
Yet, you turned black and dry
How can I go on if I don't heal?
My wings are broken, how can I fly?
Weak I am to climb this hill
All I do is lay here and cry
For this I'm certain there's no pill
I'm certain for I see you walk by
My voice so loud but to no avail
All I do is lay here and sigh

Make Or Fade
Should I take it?
Should I not?
I'm torn between choices
But therein lies blessings
Wait! Not only blessings
It also involves bad consequences
However, it's a choice I must make
Good or bad, one I'm willing to take
Maybe not. For I would not want to break
Not now, not tomorrow, but this risk I must take
Decisions, however difficult, must be made
But I still fear, for I wouldn't want to fade.

When You Left
I felt my heart swelling in my chest
I found myself regularly forming a fist
Every second my eyes would fill up with tears
All my strength was lost as I found my fears
Till this moment, there's so much I still can't digest
Till this moment, I still can't believe that you left

Action Speaks Louder Than Words
They say "action speaks louder than words".
I do not doubt. However, many also seem to have forgotten that the word "louder" comes after "loud".
In other words, "words" also speak - "loud".
In fact, it is "words" first - written or spoken, before the action(s), which makes it "louder".
So, I'm thinking, is "speaking" or "saying words" not an action too?
What do you think?
Well, this might seem too far, but even the Creator spoke "words" before "action'. In fact, the words made action possible.
So, while we all agree that action speaks louder than words, we should not forget that words also mean a lot first.
I believe that you can't be "louder" without first being "loud".
In that vein, I'll prefer to say, "words backed with action, speak louder".
How would you rather say it?

The End
Endings are not always as peaceful as sunsets.
Most times when it ends, you cry the most when the sun sets.
That is when you truly realise that it has come to an end.
Yes, tomorrow awaits, also does another sunset to remind you of the end.

The Pain I Feel
My head is so light
I can barely feel my feet
But I feel it all in my chest
So heavy, it swells every minute
So heavy it weighs me down
These thoughts I wear like a crown
You'd hardly see me without a frown
I wear it often like a designer gown
I spend the whole day busy
At night when I should be sleeping, I'm uneasy
The day breaks again, I'm up and about, all fuzzy
I wonder how I get by daily without going crazy
These wounds, how do I conceal?
How long will I keep praying for me to heal?
For I'm tired of the pain I feel
I'm tired of this pain I feel

Cover up
Cover up the pain
Wear that mask
Live again
Tell me you don't feel better
When you fake a smile

Breathe
Spit it out
The worries within
Let it out
Unburden
Feel the lightness from within
Breathe, let life begin

Make Me
Make me merry
Melancholic moments maul my memories
Make me merry
Make me mime mellifluous melodies

My Own
Nourished by my own hunger
Soothed by my own pain
Comforted by my own tears
Accompanied by my own solitude
I only hope I come out better
Yes, they say "no pain, no gain"
You only advance when you face your fears
It's hard now, but I can't wait for the morrow to express gratitude

Unsettled
Uneasy
I can't sleep
I can't eat
Burning anxiety
Disturbed
Racing heart
...boiling blood

Read More"I miss you"
Sent in by Shulamite
#pod #mirakee #life #penceze #original #missingyou #wod #writersnetwork #writeandread #writersnoteI Miss You
Time flashes by so fast
We wait for so long for its arrival
It is finally here, but then, it breezes past
Yes, so fast, without your approval
Then begins another wait
This time with memories of the last time
Memories of moments so short
Memories incomplete even for a pantomime
These linger and so "I miss you"
However, I wonder if you miss me too
For this is my memory of you
Yes, short, but I wonder if you have it too

I Feel Like Writing
I got bored and felt a need to write.
So I called on my friends to send me a word or a phrase to write on.
I'll be displaying the words/phrases they sent in and what I wrote here. Some in English, others in Pidgin.
I hope this task I've given myself puts me out of this mood I'm currently in.
I hope you enjoy reading.
Have a lovely weekend.

Autumn Dream
All my life I have never seen autumn
But I hear she's beautiful from top to bottom
With her you can live and show your true colours
A walk in the park, hand in hand, in peace with your lover
Your worries all fall because she's around
With eyes gazing at the clear sky as you lay on the ground
Someday perhaps, I'll get to see her
So we can talk, walk, and have fun together

The Vow
Did we not say today won't end?
That we would find a way these worries to blend?
For sure, we can't live without them
There's no life devoid of any problem
Did we not make a promise to each other?
That in this journey we'll be together - no asunder?
Oh! Yes, for sure, there's going to be bumps and holes
We'll go in, and come out victorious
So, for today and always
This is our vow - to find new ways
To look back and learn from past mistakes
To move ahead and be grateful for every path we take

How I Feel
When you have to hide your pain
When everyone sees nothing wrong with you
Yet, deep down a lot is concealed
The boiling within, the uneasiness
Unless tears roll down, you don't feel sane
A lot is out there but nothing is going for you
Each day passes, you're more and more discouraged
The new normal is sadness
What to do?
Who to run to?
What to say?
Why do I feel this way?
I feel lost, lost in the present
I know I'm lost, for tomorrow has become bleak
Praying to God, a wonderful gift
Yet, unworthy I feel, even his face to seek
It's very tough I must say, nothing seems to fit
With every minute, I've never felt this weak
Alive I am, yet it's hard to feel it
"This is exactly how I feel", so said this bloke
