How many times do we open our mouth and words come out amd you had no idea they were even in there...Hurtful and painful words...


Poem Artwork

 Their Mark in History

 

You want to make them laugh and want to lift your spirits too.

Which sometimes is tough, a task at times impossible to do.

Sometimes your sense of humor gets entangled with discord.

Sometimes your spirit leaves awhile or sometimes it gets bored.

 

So when you can’t inspire them please be patient if you can.

For there is much going on in this world and our beloved land.

Some want to argue and criticize every thing you do and say.

Which brings you down & throws you into a deeper disarray.

 

Instead of trying to lift someone, they attack those who do.

Only assault or negativity is what comes barreling through.

You pray for them constantly and it drains your very soul.

They care not for others feelings & cruelty takes a toll.

 

For once the words are out there, they can’t be erased,

They found their mark in history and cannot be replaced.

Try hard to block them out and pretend they don’t exist.

But keep your guard up when they throw that second fist.

 

You must keep on searching until you find your way.

To bring back your laughter and inspiration every single day.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

Bonnie, when it drains your soul it is time to let go. Your life is worth more than anothers strife. You've given them a chance and they dragged you down. Perhaps they feed off of anger and hate, while you feed off of love and joy. So go find people who feed you what you need. LOL... I know, it isn't always that easy. ~ Sara

Such folks leave a very poor mark on history; a legacy of disdain from all who witnessed the damage they accomplished. And prayers fail to help them because they do not have the faith to receive.

It's okay, Bonnie. One wonderful Bonnie overshadows a realm of nay-sayers :-)
