Take time to smell the flowers!
I've been thinking a lot lately
I've been thinking about what I do daily
I've been thinking about the mountains I move
To try get into the good books and be approved
I've finally come to a conclusion
I'm putting a stop to that delusion
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I work
People will always lie
And leave me hurt
I've worked for hours just to get burnt
I've given them everything I had
But they've used me and
Ended up treating me like dirt
So I'm gonna stop trying
Because the hard truth is:
Inside I'm dying.
To all those that try their bests
To start a relationship that doesn't work
Continue trying but know when to draw the line
Before you get hurt

i could turn that in to a rap song :) I just have to add these words. Kill them hood rats, trap, trap, motherf***er candy bar. lol
Lol good one :D
😂😂😂😂 nice
hahahahaha
What a beautiful poetry bro.... But remember there are many people who want our presence live life with being positive nature that's what the principle I believe in....u will never have a positive life with negative mind :)
Very true my friends
🔥🔥🔥
There are people who are worth trying our best for :)
I agree, but there has to be a line, where you are still happy then it's fine but as soon as it hurts for too long you need to up an' out
Ethan beautiful words...bless you
Thank you :)
Nice Poetry....
Never put your key to happiness into someone else's pocket. True happiness must come from within you. It has never been outside of you.
:D very true thank you for reading and sharing :)
Smelling these flowers is not going to kill me right?
Well depending on how hard you sniff ;)
"And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love;
Cannot be killed or swept aside." - Miranda
Just be true to yourself and love is all you really need to worry about. Do that and the rest will flow.
Deeeeep :)
A free verse that rhyme so sadly!
I've felt the same when someone I loved betrayed me. You're right, we need to draw the line. I did, and I no longer felt hurt but liberated from a meaningless relationship. I wrote a lot of poetry during that time. It helps you heal.
great poem, thanks for sharing! now following
Thank you, emotiont is inspiration :)
Yes, I agree. When you feel it, you write it :)
Nice read. I can clearly tell that there is a weight to your words and it seems as if that weight is being carried. All I can say though is emotion is what makes these words as strong as they are and even when you try to turn those off it almost seems impossible. But that is definitely not a bad thing.
Yeah it is weighted but after writing this I'm feeling much better.
Once someone screws you over , dont stick around to watch them do it again. Nice work xx
Thanks man :)
Ethan, relationships are very difficult because unfortunately, when it fails, it hurts to the core of you. People do lie and take advantage of you, but never forget, there are some really good ones who do care and love freely without conditions. They are hard to find but if you believe, you will attract them to you. Each experience will be painful but you will grow in strength and you will have better understanding and sensitivities that will allow you to see things in a more deeper perspective. Just remember, the ones that have hurt you, live a very shallow life and they will go on without knowing what life is truly about. It is their loss and your gain. You should keep all your poems in a chronological order so that you will be able to reflect back on them to see the progression of your life. It may amaze you! Who knows, one day you may publish your work to share with others. I will be the first to buy your book! Keep moving forward......there may be a rainbow at the end!.......Cabbagepatch
Thank you! I try to keep em in order and I was hurt very badly over the weekend so the saying one step forwards two steps back is a real thing. But i will keep trying to move forwards ;)
I am so sorry to hear that your hurt was so recent. It is always so painful but give time a chance to help heal your wounded spirit. You are not alone. Many, many people have gone through such hurt. My ex husband hurt me so deeply many, many years ago when our daughter was only 11 months old. The pain of betrayal went so deep that it actually took me about 5 years to heal a very bad wound. But through the years, I grew stronger, regained my self esteem and in retrospect, I was glad that we split paths when we did. I went on to have a more joyous and fulfilling life which I probably wouldn't have had if I stayed married. Only you can go through what you are going through but hopefully you will see the light at the end of this very dark tunnel and not let someone destroy who you are. Be strong, breath, cry and let it out. In time it will get better. My thoughts are with you during this time and I will send you positive energy to know that we all care!...Cabbagepatch
Thank you so much :) I see the light, I always do, my light is expression sharing with everyone my hurt helps me heal, it was just a small crush and will fade soon :D
Keep expressing because your poems are deep and inspiring! I am so glad that you are doing well via writing your poems. You have so much going for you with your unique and gifted soul. :)
I have a question as to why you never write, I think you would do really well, you always have such uplifting comments and you are a truly amazing person :)
What a beautiful question. I did one post about 3-4 weeks ago. It was my first blog called A Path Toward Inner Peace #1: The Beginning. But since then, I haven't done anything because I needed time to innately feel how to go about finding inner peace. I guess you can say I am very slow but steady. It's funny, but when I make comments to those who I sense are worth it, my words just flow out because of how I feel at the moment. It's so easy when it is so real. I also tend to not want to bring too much attention to myself. I guess I need to follow my own advise to others. You are a wonderful person for asking and I truly thank-you for it. Maybe one day soon I will write my second post. Who knows, maybe I can try my hand at writing poetry. I'm so glad our paths have crossed because you really are a very special young man who's whole wonderful life is before you! Again, thank-you for your touching question!.....Cabbagepatch
That's a sweet but a hitting hard poem!
