Poetry and thoughts
Hey everyone!
I noticed that few people on here are very talented writers, so I thought I'd start this thread where people can share random thought, riddles and poems.

Re: Christmas blues
If people have a problem
I try not to make it my problem
Other people's problem is their problem
And
Not my problem
I try to look after myself
And be independent
And stand on my own two feet
Again
Other people's problem is their problem
And not my problem
And taking the lower position
Is a good negotiating tactic
But why should i feel like i need to negotiate
Why should i feel like i need to negotiate
I might figure it out later

Re: Christmas blues
this is a verse from a poem. A book I came across today. I will post a verse at a time.
It doesn't interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart's longing.

Re: Christmas blues
next verse
it doesn't interest me how old you are.
i want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

I'm Afraid The Enemy Is Alive And Well
But In The End
We Return To Dust
In The End
We Return To Dust

Re: Poetry and thoughts
hello@cherrybomb
third verse
it doesnt interest me what planets are
squaring your moon...
i want to know if you have touched
the centre to your own sorrow
if yu have been opened by life's
betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with
pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

Re: Poetry and thoughts
hello @CherryBomb
verse 4
I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the
tips of your
fingers and toes
without cautioning us to
be careful
be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.

Re: Poetry and thoughts
My shadow is always with me.
It follows me, dark and mysterious, hollow and empty.
It grows and reduces, moves around and is still.
It echoes my fears and pain.
It holds my nightmares and memories.
As the sun fades and night falls, my shadow becomes me.
The darkness around me becomes the darkness within me.
It overtakes every part of me and takes control.
The nightmares become reality once again and the pain increases.
A way out seems impossible.
The days merge into one continuous struggle of survival.
Reality is lost.
Hope is gone.
The future doesn’t exist.
The past has won!
