Trying To Convince

You know that feeling,
When you talk to a kindred being.
Where both have a common seeing..
And you have a message conveying.

A message important, very important.
So much so that I use allegory to aid .
I need to say, don't be strong, be bent.
Let it hurt, let your mind cover...afraid.

And we go along the flow of conversation.
Knowing how to cope, with that constant discrimination.
We move from topic to topic of importance,
But in the end , we get stuck on one easy of convenience.

It is still one like the fires burning,
A topic setting his stomach churning.
But it is one, we must all be learning.
That not all joy arrives from yearning.

So I end up, using anecdotes from my past,
Trying to bring about a realization that will last...
"Will I succeed?" , in my mind such questions I cast.
All the while pushing the water, to move the ship of convincing fast.
And as the mast reached broken island, and found treasure outcast.
I knew, the world is truly gonna change...atlast.

Why #3 - Change

Why change. Why now. Why do I have to stop what I am doing, and make a difference. Is it that important. Will it damage me. Will it benefit me. Will I even notice. Why would I bother.

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall, will this vanity, prevail or fall. Will insecurities crumble away, will confidence be here to stay. Will all the wrongs turn into rights, will all the dark turn into light.

You Are You And I Am Me

Inspiration to page, Thought after rage. Emotion before reason, Objectivity treason. Three words can make me cry, Express darkest fears. Verbose explosions can make me sigh, Bore me to tears.

The Wisdom Within

Listen to the wisdom inside yourself. It's speaks the truth. Tells you the things you don't want to hear, And would not accept from others.

See-saw Poetry

If poems reflect our emotion, emotion reflective of life, Then poetry is a word see-saw, Balancing loving and strife. So some of my verses are happy, I smile as I recall the glow.
