Poem 1418
Words Of A Struggler
the broken aren’t that fragile
and a moment cannot stay
what's the difference tween a smile
and a frown from far away?
the lines they leave behind
and the memories they made
both leaving similar thin lines
proudly displayed upon your face
marking the happy with the sad
with no real way to discern
the kind of life you had
or the lessons that were learned
be gentle with the souls
standing next to you today
they may be covering up the holes
from something someone had to say
life is for the living
only one way to escape
do your best at giving
not only heros wear a cape

Coming in to say Go Woman, Go! Cheering in all all black from the sidelines! Your top fan!
Congrats! I really liked this; true, deep, discerning.
CONGRATS ON YOUR TOP STORY!
Congrats on Top Story!🥳🥳🥳
My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sister's friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do..... Www.Smartwork1.Com

So heartfelt! I loved it, thank you for sharing <3 and congratulations on Top Story!
Exquisitely written!!! Loved your inspirational poem!!!❤️❤️💕 Congratulations on Top Story!!!
This packed a punch! I freaking loved it!
The third bullet point to my breakdown of the gospel: Concerning discipleship & what it actually means to enter into God's reign & the beginning of eternal life--all God asks or hopes from us is that we afford one another (God, others & self), the same courtesy God has afforded us. That courtesy comprise the first two bullet points: God loves you & there's nothing you can do about it. (The proof being that we killed God's Child, but when it didn't work & he came back, it wasn't for revenge but to continue to issue the invitation & show us the way home.) God's grace is always for you. (God never quits scanning the horizon waiting & hoping for every last prodigal to return home.) Psalm 133 has become one of my favorite distillations of all this. How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD ordained his blessing, life forevermore.
I hope someone gives you a huge hug today for writing this! You deserve it...loved it so much
Great encouraging piece! Loved “they may be covering up the holes from something someone had to say”
Lovely poem… really liked: ‘ what's the difference tween a smile and a frown from far away? the lines they leave behind and the memories they made” Just like how similar crying and laughter can be.
Gorgeous writing and a calm tone tie this poem together. The bit about heroes rings so true to cap this piece. Salute!
Poetry reading or writing it is a good way to get over various kinds of struggles for they make you think and see outside the box.
