Words Can Hurt

Posted on by Standard Respond

I hear people talking,

their hatred and all.

As mean as the devil

I wish they wouldn’t call

 

Me names I don’t like

Ugly, stupid, and dumb

I try to keep them away

As a rule of my thumb

 

Their words always slap

their victims’ weak feelings

they never use the same words

to keep fresh with their dealings

 

But what’s worse is the fact

that they strike without caution

they surround you and drown you

giving no other option

 

But there are some

who are willing to help

They’ll care for your wounds

so you won’t have to whelp.

A short life cycle

Posted on by Standard 1

Sometimes I’m just sitting

Then plucked from the ground

The blow starts begining

And they float all around

 

Swirling

Twirling

All the time curling

 

But then I’m forgotten

dropped all the way back down

back next to my old spot

I’m losing my life

Is that the light now?!

 

But my seeds will carry me, like a king through time

But I’m just sitting here, losing my rhyme

All around, across an area

But now I’m here, on the ground lying, dying

Living my life cycle, being myself

I have many, many ancestors, a hundred and one

But that’s just me, a dandelion

The Wind

Posted on by Standard Respond

I am the wind

I come and go,

drifting along sometimes,

and others, not so

 

I can go against people,

make them feel cold all around

I can move to different locations, or sink into the ground

 

I am the wind

I can make beautiful music and art

I can cover you in ice,

or love you with my heart
