She was depressed
She had no way out
She's been through
it all..

She's been laughed
at
Put down
Run down
Used
Abused
High jacked
Jacked up

Told she could
Never

Would never:
Stack up
Measure up
Get up
Shake it off
Put it down
Turn around
Make it
Break it
Take it

Told to:
Give it up
Call it quits
Forget about it
Fall down
Stay down
Don't move
Play dead
Act dead
You're dead
Drop dead

Said she was:
Nothing
Ugly
Dumb
Stupid
Over weight
Under weight
To tall
To short
No talent
Worthless
Useless

Told to:
Go away
Stay away
Far away
Start today!

Said she was:
Walking swamp slop

Even told her the
graveyard didn't
want anything to
do with her, so
she was wasting
her time even if
she did drop dead..

BUT!!!

Somebody spoon fed
her these pack
of lies..

And she BELIEVED THEM!!!

She BELIEVED THEM!!!

That's what gives
DEPRESSION it's
power!!!

Throw away this
list of

LIES
LIES
LIES
LIES

You are the crown
of God's creation,
Mrs President!!!

MY SOUL

My soul is weighed down in sorrow
For my loved one is not here for tomorrow
The days and nights blend together
In darkness the weight of a ton of feathers

Oh my soul cries a river of tears
And my heart quivers with fear
Of all the tomorrows to be alone
Facing the future and the unknown

O’ Lord please help me understand I pray
As to why my loved one was taken away
My soul wants to find peace from my sorrow
So that I may be able to face tomorrow

Please give me the strength to carry on
The courage to do what needs to be done
Please help me to accept your will
To know your Holy Spirit and to be filled

Open my eyes so that I might see
And feel your unconditional love for me
And that I might know when my journey is done
I will forever be in your arms and of Jesus - your Son

Hey Group, this is not a poem... just want to clear some things up that seem to be brewing here right now.

The purpose of the Poet's Corner is POETRY NOT POLITICS.

The subject of a poem MAY be about a current event or about an author's own political opinion (freedom to express).

Comments to those poems should be directed at the poem itself.. a friendly constructive critique/discussion of the poem as it was posted.. nothing more. Comments may NOT be a personal attack on the beliefs or 'person' of the poet that may be indicated in the poem (respect for others and the rules).

The Poet's Corner is NOT a soapbox to argue politics, politicians, or political parties.

Neither poem nor comments may be used as a personal attack on any other member.

In the Poet's Corner it doesn't matter if politically you are liberal, conservative, or any other party. It doesn't matter who you voted for in the last election, or who you think caused current political local or world problems. This is an international site, rich in the diversity of opinions and writing skills from members of different cultures, religions, locations, educations, and language worldwide. It's not surprising that we do not all agree. But we need to be tolerant of our differences, be openminded to ideas we don't like and, if we're willing, we can actually learn a lot from others who are very different from us.

Remember, you're here because you love writing and verse, not to support a political agenda. If you do, you're risking your membership and ability to post here.

why did you leave me alone when I needed you most
why did you leave me all alone to cry every night
why did you leave me all alone to shed my own blood
why did you let me believe i didn'y deserve better
why did you let me believe i deserved it
why did you let me believe it was my fault

why did you leave me alone when I needed you most?

To her
I bond,
it is ancient
older than the planet...

Let us drink
of one cup,
share from
the same loaf of bread...

Why do we
play hide and seek?
let us
find each other...

Shall we
share a bond
that not even death
would violate?

No more chains
that hold me to the ground,
chains that
keep me solidly bound...

Those chains
that shield
my love, my heart,
chains only our heart can yield...

She went to see the doctor one day
And was devastated at what he had to say
You cannot wear anything for 2 weeks
Rub ointment on before and after you sleep

Two weeks she said
I might as well be dead
I can’t go out in public bare and naked
Everyone will think I am tainted

It’s no big deal the doctor said
She said I may as well stay in bed
Don’t be a drama queen the doctor replied
You must do as I abide

I can’t use anything to cover up she asked
No – not if you want to get better fast
Well that’s just hunky dory she said
Without my eye makeup I look like I’m dead!

Hey Firesnoze!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Stop calling me names!
Doner, you should be ashamed of yourself!
Letting that freak go out in public!
Remember guys we're not gonna let some freak reindeer
play any reindeer games, right?
So Rudolph was shunned by everyone
Except Hermee who wanted to be a dentist
Clarice the hot doe and Yukon Cornelius
Rudolph never got to guide Santa's sleigh
And he never got the respect of his parents or anyone else
Rudolph grew to hate the reindeer
But especially Santa who could have made everything alright
So Rudolph went to a gun shop downtown
And got a lot of ammo killing everyone
But Clarice, Hermee and Yukon who found silver and gold
And helped Rudolph and Clarice have new reindeer
To guide Yukon's sleigh
Hermee fixed all their teeth
And everyone lived happily ever after
The end

My soul seeks its final destination
Is ataraxia so far beyond my vision?
This journey has taken me so long
Psiturism, I sit and await your song
I look upon the clouds of Nacreous pearl
Is my destiny so linked to Cosmogyral?
Do the storms of nature rule my future?
Aeolian! Aeolian!
Let your soothing breath sooth my suture

How long can I live in reminiscence
Am I not to find that eternal bliss?
I know I have scorned to be reverent
But are not my passions so less fervent
Yet the tenuous threads that bind my sin
Seem to me to remain ever gossamer thin

Is a true Christmas really about Santa and Toys
Or is it about Angels singing with great Joy
Elves dressed up in bright clothes and tights
Three Wisemen following the Bethlehem starlight

Shopping elbow to elbow with strangers
Our Lord and Savior Jesus born in a manger
All about flying reindeer and sleighs
Or the promise of our sins being taken away

Lights, partying and food galore
Celebrating the coming of our Lord
A man dressed in red that’s a myth
God giving the World his greatest gift

Receiving a bunch of gifts and having fun
Thanking God for giving his only begotten Son
Is Christmas totally and completely material
Or about being forgiven and receiving Life Eternal

I was all alone again last night with nothing much to do...
Staring at old pictures with bright thoughts of me and you...
Inspired by lit stars at night, I looked up in the sky...
And what I saw, was two stars fall, two stars that were so true...

Trailing memories with cosmic dust just streaking through my heart...
Sparking off sensations that require all our part...
Trying to trick the hands of time, I tried to push rewind...
Only to find, these hands of time, only work when you push start....
