1. In Good Time...
in Hope Poems
Life can seem an endless maze,
The twists and turns, lulls and delays,
But things always fall into place...
In good time.

One famous historical book says, "expectation postponed is making the heart sick". Those wise words have proven true time and again for many. Many people wait their whole lives for things that are difficult to come across, like true love or exceptional secular opportunities.
Unfortunately, some things, like finding a soulmate, do not necessarily happen when one would like. Often, the wait can become frustrating, causing sadness, anger and other negative feelings.
One way to combat such feelings is to read the poetry of others who have experienced similar emotions.

Life can seem an endless maze,
The twists and turns, lulls and delays,
But things always fall into place...
In good time.
Sometimes I get lonely
Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
Always connecting but not connected
Before Covid hit, I was very happy living my 11-year-old life, but when it did, well I felt very lonely. I relate to this poem so much because everything described (and more) is exactly how I...

I keep pulling
on my roots
urging them to grow
impatient for the bloom
in Lonely Poems
Imagine the sun sinking
and dim turns to dark.
The silence that surrounds you,
the shadows that make their mark.

Gliding deep into the forest
Darkness covers me like a blanket
And the mist surrounding me
I feel like there's no way to flee
I never knew a broken heart could keep on breaking.
You keep on sending your love, but no one's there to take it.
Rivers of tears keep a steady flow...
But no one's there to know.
This really brought tears to my eyes as I have been dealing with CPS and fighting for my babies for a year and a half. I miss them so much and just wish and pray they would soon be returned...
My heart is set on that glorious day
When your work is done and you're home to stay.
I'll be waiting right here, with open arms.
To hold you close and keep you warm.
I am in a long distance relationship and these words were soothing. I knew I wasn't alone and my boo is soon visiting sooo..they were timely. I can't wait to hug him tight.
in Anger Poems
I sit alone in the darkness
Waiting...
Waiting for him to come back to me.
Can he hear my cries?
I haven't lost my dad, but I did lose one of my closest friends who sent me a scary letter then never talked to me again. A year later, and I'm still waiting for him. This poem explains just...
in Alone Poems
Enveloping the room,
Leaving everybody isolated.
Nothing to do, nothing to say,
Just silence.
I sat there and waited
Never left the porch
But you never showed
It's like you burned my heart with a torch
I was 3 or 4 when my daddy left me. Just my mommy by my side. I wondered why he left me. My mommy said I may never know. As I got older I found out more things. I still ask myself why he left...
in Fear Poems
Wait, you say, but I want to know.
Wait, you say, but it's just so slow.
Do I need to live with the questions
Or simply wait for your confession?
In the early hours,
As most should be sleeping,
I sit in our bedroom window and perform a ritual.
Smoking a cigarette, wrapped tightly in a blanket,
Can he see me?
Can he hear me?
Does he know I'm there?
When I am standing at his bedside or sitting in a chair.
I have a friend that's keeping their illness/sickness a secret. Not telling family or friends. Just struggling to deal with it alone. So I'm trying to encourage her and help in any way I can.
I'm so torn as I sit alone in a lifeless jumble of secret thoughts,
Wanting to end this bitter pain for some relief,
Even momentarily.
It won't subside,
You said that you loved me
And I said that I loved you.
We are not together anymore
But boy I wish we were....
in Lonely Poems
never did you tell me
you were leaving me.
left me in one month,
