Running ragged, breathing fast
One, two, three, four…
Foot falls quicken, heart rate stutters
You can’t afford to hit the floor
Run the race, don’t falter now
Seconds, hours, weeks, years…
No time for slow…time is money

In shadows deep, where sorrows reside,
Struggling to survive, in the ebb of life's tide.
Whispers of despair, a heavy burden to bear,
Yearning for respite, a soul laid bare.
Darkness beckons, a tempting embrace,
In the depths of anguish, a... – by Desiree faulkner | added by desireefaulkner026 1 day ago |
Perfection is a lie and curse
We struggle with images we’ve cast
Only to live and die and die as we live.
I find myself asking a question.
Do we truly live as we strive for this lie?
Or, are we just biding time? Tick. Tock.

Aging dreams, a reverie
Drifting through this sleepless mind
A melody sweetly sings
On repeat but winding down
Life is like a music box
Growing through the wind
Feel the tension, the apprehension
In forming life’s dance and melody

Gold is considered to be so precious
Because it is rare and hard to find.
It’s beauty is the stuff of legend,
A gift of splendor and glorious shine.
How appropriate that gold is the symbol
For 50 years of marriage and love.
The years that... – by Kacey Roman | added by fiveromans 1 day ago |

My own mind
Envelops me with lies
Never ending intrusive thoughts and
Traumatic memories
Always linger to remind
Life takes no prisoners
Hungrily searching for
Eternal escape
Anxiety peaks behind
Locked doors and poor treatment

The greatest power in life is love
To feel breathe bath in the love of others escapes words to describe. When the feeling of belonging and surviving with a deep connection that becomes food for your existence you cant help but be... – by Richard J Edwards | added by rjenavy 1 day ago |

Your legacy forever etched in time,
A servant to community and love,
Your spirit, an enduring chime.
As you embark on this new journey,
Into the embrace of distant lands,
Know that your presence will be... – by Kacey Roman | added by fiveromans 1 day ago |

Nobody wants to listen
Nobody has a clue
Nobody knows what they want
Nobody... Not even you
Nobody knows how to get by
Nobody has spare time to give
Nobody stays together for long
Nobody really forgives
Nobody really knows anybody

Slow down, Kelley
That's what they keep telling me
But I can't go any slower
I'm feeling like a failure and am trapped
In words I can't decipher
Cryptic messages that mean nothing to anyone
I want to get lost and drown in the... – by Kelley Davies | added by kbdallas2020 1 day ago |
