Most Commented Ballad Poems (503)

I’ve watched tomorrow taken away because of today,
Cries for help lost in the melee of life, unseen and unheard,
No one is to blame, but still, to our shame, they fall, no
Saviour all, those lost in their pain, no future, no gain,
Giving it up, taking it away and leaving this world with
Nothing more to say!

Honesty and integrity are the ideal of what we should be, truthfulness and clarity are what we should see, are we a minus or a plus, we won't make a fuss, I think that minus may win the game, I don't know, are we all the same?

I have an open mind, come what may, as long as you believe in what I say,
My open mind never falters, I’m open , but, I have a defence,
It’s a secret, that I cannot tell you, I’ll always agree, with what
You say to me, and I’ll play the part, even though it’s not in
My heart, because my OPEN mind is still conditioned, no matter
What you say, I will still believe ,,, my way!

A Winter's day in Summer, A Summer's day in Winter,
A promise kept, A promise broken,
A pact un-kept, A love unspoken,

Different days, and different ways,
Different eyes and different lies,
Different you and different me,

Different times and different crimes,
But same ol, same ol, like olden times,
Same old us from what I can see,
Nothing new, what will be will be.

Start the day with a smile,start the day away from
negativity, and all that brings you down, don't let the
world suffocate you, don't you drown, don't you be
anything they can see, always feel free to be you,
the you that you know, instinctively, then tomorrow
will be all that you imagined it could be because
you made it so, take control, off you go!

I wish I had my rose-coloured glasses,
so I could see the colours of your optimism.
You say we can be stronger than our painful wounds.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe I could play the same role again too.

I could love and get myself hurt,
all over again,
and survive through each rejection,
getting by after mind games
from every conniving player,
standing tall after the most familiar...
...sense of abandonment.

Yes, I can.
In fact, I've done that often.
I have no doubts over my own perseverance.
Remember, I've been so good at being alone.

For too long,
I've stopped with all the expectations.
I'm a lone warrior.
I've treated my own wounds,
by making myself feel numb.

I know I've been strong enough,
but what if I've grown tired?
What if I'm fed up with playing the same damn role?

The possibility of normality is lost in
diversity, lets start a row, I don't
know how, we're humanoid , create a void?, live a life of stupidity?, lets
kill and maim and hurt and be the same, let us see, can we go down
in history, the worst that could be? For all our talk, we have not changed
the rich get richer the poor get maimed, it's sickening to see, we are
what we are, not what we could be, it's not our fault???????? really?

I’m like this because of you, I’m like this because you
Never saw it through,
I’m like this because the Winter Sun never shone!

I’m like this because my flowers died and left me
Traumatised,
I’m like this because you were never here, to hold
Me close and quell my fear,

I’m like this because you stayed with me,

I’m like this because you never set me free,

I’m like this because when you were gone,

Along came another one,
Of simple design , gave me the time,
To be me………and now I see,

I’m totally like this because of me!

Now, the time is come for me to carry on,
What was right then - time to pay the Piper,
Still, I wasn't wrong,
So quickly went that life on a perfectly jagged road--,
Letting love lead the way-,
Just to feel something where there was nothing at all,
Years to build - watching in moments to fall,
Once again, alone,
But still standing tall--,
Letting love lead you betrayed-,

Letting love lead you,
Then love no longer needs you,
What else can you do?
Just follow the sound?-,

So many paths you could have chose,
You chose love and what did you know?
A winner only to lose?,
Or the path you go?--,
Letting love lead astray-,
Now since time - it has come to change,
Without many words here left to say,
But there is you,
And you are still the same--,
Letting love lead-,

Letting love lead me,
Blindly knowing love can deceive me,
What else could it be?
I'll just follow that sound!----

So many searching for answers, why there is good and bad?
It’s all there plain to see, you’ve been told throughout history,
You recite the words then preach your way, but you never learn
No one has say, and that is how it’s meant to be, when you are
Ready you will see, these words mean nothing, open to ridicule,
Just have an open mind and you will find you’re not subject
To common rule.
