The shadows in past, I thought would last

But the shadows have passed

Light has slowly creeping though my eyes

Creating new hope in my life

O why did I let the shadow overtake my life?

I've missed the happiness given by the Lord!

The broken pieces cut my wings, I thought I'm ceased to fly

But God has given me reason to live a happy life in this world!

Come now, dearest broken person!

Life has given us darkness, but you have to be strong!

Life is a challenge we have to conquer everyday

Life is no darkness, Life is a play!

Learn to surf the waves of the ocean

Dance with the blow of the wind

Sing to the hums of the birds and grin!

Be positive like Jack in the Pirates of the Caribbean

Stand up and clean the broken glass

Throw it in the depths of nothingness

Held you head high and don't be embarrassed

Because we are not broken, We are everyone's happiness!

This is a poem I wrote a couple days after becoming sober. I craved the drug so bad, but my will to truly live, and break free of other people's expectations, was stronger than the cravings.

This is a rhythmic poetry written using simple words which rhymes in the tone of abb, cdd, so on. In this poem both a human and an animal can be referred as the bird.

Poems about spiritual entities that haunt the day or night, in the sun or in the shadows, often occur and their categories are multiple: good, bad, with white or black clothes, transparent or with spherical light, and many forms. They are also presented in; dreams, telepathy and psychophonies.

The experience of your heart breaking is never a pleasant one. This spoken word poem was my journey of one of the many heartbreaks I endured throughout my relationship with a man I was suppose to call my husband someday. Please enjoy!

A poem about my people and where I grew up.

This article tells a story on how hard it is to leave from a toxic long term relationship. Moving out of our safe haven is scary and fulfilling at the same time once we have moved passed the lost and the routine. Share your thoughts if you have been in the same scenario.
