A bad choice made again and again
is not Fate's lesson,
it's your decision.

People seem to blame their mistakes on life's unfairness. Its true, life isn't fair at all. But making that mistake twice, thrice or more when you know you can fix it, is a DECISION. Pure and simple

When I die

When I die,
don't you dare to come to my grave
to tell me how much you love me
and how much you miss me,
because those are the words
I want to hear
while I'm still alive.

I gave you a lot of opportunity.
And I gave a lot of time,
for you to come.
But you never did.

Now don't you dare
to send me flower too
when I'm dead

Would you cry if I wasn't here anymore? I always was waiting for you to come and tell me that you love me. But I think, I waited to long for you and now I am dead inside.

A choice

Once again a diversion
Or loose of tracks.
Is it an opportunity
Or way to hell.
Just a step,
And a choice,
Will drown me down
Or fly me high.

Time to time we all face dilemma and difficult choices. Take your first step in faith, the whole universe will lead u ahead.

Bruises

I never know what's happening
When this happens
I lose control

All I can see is opportunities
All I want to feel is pain
All I want to do is cry without crying

Self-Destruction
That's what I need sometimes
Feeling the pain

Seeing the bruises in my face
Feeling the throb of my head
Thinking those thoughts

I'm always alone because I can't control it

A memory that came to me after I slipped and fell

Tranquility my Cure

Just wanted to go someplace where no one knows my name. I wanna go there alone but not lonely.

Why do I feel so lonely sometimes Even when surrounded by a lot of people?

Why cant this feeling of Emptiness just go away?

Let me forget Everything, the things I know , My Identity, all the problems , and Unwind from it completely.

Help Me Unravel My whole life to find My true self.
Grant My Mind Tranquility amidst everything that's going on in my life.

Make me see my problems as a new Opportunity.
Make me Become useful to my family and not a Hindrance

Help us become prosperous someday, so that my family wont need to face more hardships in life

Give them profusion not scarcity.

Sometimes I envy those who have overabundance in everything, I encourage myself not to but just cant help it sometimes.

I don't fear death I only fear what it prologues.

Why did i write ?
I don't do it for people to think and assume that I'm smart
Just wanted to say how I really feel deep Inside.

I'm not smart. nope. never in my life.
Never Earned any medals at all.
There's a lot of things I don't Know and still want to learn.

As what Socrates once said,
"I know One thing , That I know nothing"

PHARISEE NATION

Must we ask an unpayable fee?
Saying “wait” just to later decline?
It now seems that the land of the free
Is a home that the brave cannot find.

How vexatious that they storm these walls
Pleading reason and asking charity.
Oh, how dare they try escaping home
To a land we brand OPPORTUNITY.

I fear the longing of millions of souls
All brimming with fury and cause
Is more pond’rous than the marching soles
Of the soldiers defending our flaws.

Windows

The window has closed.
Opportunities have passed.
My life is calling.

Sometimes you're just feeling stuck.

APPOINTMENT

One more hour in the job I love
Then they ****** it all away
Too many letters in my last name
And I won’t join the games they play

One more hour in my office home
Before it becomes not mine
They took away the reason why
I need a space to spend my time

I’m sitting in a dunking booth
My chair held by a pin
The ***** are going to come my way
Which one will tip me in

Which lame excuse will be the one
They hand me on a plate
Which evil lie will be pronounced
To seal my future fate

Fifty minutes left to carve
The end of my career
Until they push me out to starve
And turn a deafened ear

Or maybe only cut my time
To watch me slowly bleed
And later do the coupe de grace
As they eliminate my need

The time is slowly racing by
My calm is wearing thin
I’ve tried so hard to handle this
To walk out with a grin

But jitterbugs have made their home
In all my quiet places
My throat is learning to seize up
And spoil my placid faces

My mind has owned the coming doom
But my belly missed the memo
I vowed to not succumb to gloom
And ride out in a limo

The hour is up - the hatchet *****
Has done her thing and gone
It hurts much more than I had guessed
I’m not sure I can carry on

What goes around will come around
A saying tried and true
I grab the courage I just found
And know I’ll make it through

ONE HUNDRED HOURS LATER

I’ve found a way to stay afloat
I’ve given it much thought
Perhaps the Gods will smile on me
And I’ll end up on a yacht.

The people I’ve dealt fairly with
Have rallied round my cause
They’re going to help me find a way
To sidestep hunger’s jaws

There is a path that I’d not seen
That leads to greater riches
And I will now begin that walk
And spite those loathsome *******

Who thought that they could throw me out
Like Sunday morning trash
With never a thought of what I’d use
For weekly grocery cash

What goes around has come around
To me - I’ll be just fine
The people that I’ve served so well
Have helped me cross the line

The storm has finally passed me by
I see an end to sadness
I now know I can carry on
Despite their evil badness.

So now my time has ended here
I’m wistful but not crying
I’ve seen a sunrise just ahead
And I’ve new wings for flying

I'm going to become a Site Rep for various filming locations. I gained experience at it as part of my past job, and now the location scouts I worked with are banding together to help me find either a location to Rep or agencies to send me to various locations. It's the part of my old job I liked the best anyway. A bit nervous, but come Feb. I'm taking a go at it.
Ther IS light at the end of the tunnel.

Sadness In Perpetuity

So long,
my love.
I bid you farewell,
on your journey.
-
despite your tragic end,
I don't know how I could ever comprehend.
With every passing day,
I'd be lying if I say I'm okay.
-
I miss you.
-
If only they knew what I would say
if I could be with you.
Just for tonight.
-
Tonight is the night I need you the most,
I wish I could just...
-
Breathe
-
Be with you tonight, I'd sing you to sleep.
I'd never let the light behind your eyes fade.
and if they did;
-
I'd close mine.
-
Slip away.
and hope to see you again.

Hello HePo, this is my first poem and also the same one I submitted when I registered but I really wanted to share it with you all as it is my first (actual) poem I've wrote in a long time.
Thank you for listening and taking the time to read my poem <3
-
For those that are still here, I will now go through with my ideology of this poem and the story behind it. But please do interpret this in your own way, that's the beauty of such poems.

Story:
The poem tells a story of one's lost love after a tragic accident, which left the author on their own, to deal with the loss. The author goes on to write about how they wish they could just be with them again, to have that one last opportunity to say goodbye, to end up "closing their eyes" conveying that the author will soon be together again with their lover, however way they wish to achieve that.

Opportunities

There she was
Helpless as could be
Something so simple
Yet was breaking her heart

And there I was
In the seat next to her
All I did was watch
As the tears rolling down her face
Became wet spots on the paper
Haunting the rest of her days

In life it seems
We only see opportunities
Once the chance to take them
Is gone

Opportunity to say the words
We've been wanting to say

Opportunity to save the day
Of the person we've always wanted to save

Opportunity to do what's right

I look back and all I see
All I see is
missed opportunities
