A single flash of a camera
And a moment frozen in time
Can never truly tell the tale
Of that child left behind.

You’re not alone in this; you know that, right?
There are others like you.
Hiding. Running. Wishing
for a desire they keep hidden
Adversity brings out the best in you
It often helps to find something new -
A hidden talent or clears a doubt
Thank you for commenting on my poem. Stay blessed.
Tummies flat and waists so tiny,
Perky breasts and cleavage shiny,
Photoshopped into 'perfection,'
On display for our inspection.
In the depths of despair, where shadows dwell,
a pain poem emerges, a tale I must tell.
For pain, my dear friend, is a universal theme,
a haunting melody that shapes our dreams.
Famous Poem
Your life is your life
Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.
Famous Poem
Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
I look around for myself,
But a ghost is all I see.
I only see this ghost of a person I used to be.
I don't know who you are, but I know why you are here.
Famous Poem
It ain't the trees that block the trail,
It ain't the ash or pine;
For, if you fall or if you fail,
It was some pesky vine
Famous Poem
When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.
We gather here once more
To remember a younger day,
When life was mostly before us
And the future a game to play.
Getting up in mornings for my usual day,
Though I really I just sit and think and lay,
It's hard, sometimes.
