Social Media Mortality (Poem) A poem about people Social Media Mortality (Poem)A poem about people that spend their lives on social media and ignore life that is happening around themA timer to remind youOf you living your life onlineScrolling through an unknown worldForgetting the sun will shineDiscussing things with strangersAn avatar you’ll never meetForgetting those who are around youThose who would drop life in a beatMost look into a mirrorTo reflect what they seeYet all your time in on your phoneTik Tok MortalityRemember all those loved onesWho where there when you were smallYou forget them for a hashtagFor followers and allPhotographs are footprintsA memory of timeNot a disappering messageOr how your followed climbFor every second mattersWhoever you maybeFor your footprint is forgottenWhen your gone from history#socialmedia #some #online #tiktok #poetry #writing
An Unbreakable Heart - A poem based on a person wh An Unbreakable Heart - A poem based on a person who has been through so much in life, their heart is unbreakableI crawled through all the darkness,Danced in the pouring rain,Refrained from giving in to you,So I now return the pain.I've something more than armour,Something stronger than a shield,An unbreakable will to survive,To life I will not yield.You dragged me to hell and back,Even the devil knew my name.Yet I didn't want the season ticket,I just simply left the game.How does it feel just knowingI'm the only one left here?Your methods could not work on me,Now you live in fear.For my heart, it cannot splinter,Nor shatter into glass,For it's as fluid as a river,Like wind blowing through the grass.So take your angered hatred,Aim it toward another soul,For mine is so unbreakable,And I'm fully in control.

Solitary Chair (A Poem based on a chair sat throug Solitary Chair (A Poem based on a chair sat through a generation. The last member has passed and the chair remains in isolation. A reminder not to waste time)A solitary red chairSits in the corner of a room.A baby climbs upon its cushion,With a smile and a stare.This becomes a habit,It forms the baby’s placeA comfort zone so special,A guaranteed smile upon a face.The baby is now older,A teenage boy so silent.The chair is now a sanctuaryFrom a world that feels so violent.The years, they pass so quicklyBoy turns into man.A welcome place after a hard day,He puts his feet up when he can.The man becomes elderly,A place to fall asleepIn the old familiar chair,Where memories lie so deep.Yet one day it’s just empty,For the man has passed away.The chair waits for anotherDon’t let life slide away.#poem #poetry #life #time
Forever Near - A poem based on remembering someone Forever Near - A poem based on remembering someone who was part of your life when you were younger but have lond passed. Even in times of doubt, they are still with you. Once upon a gentler timeThe days lay quiet in our handsAll sorrow lived in distant landsWhile laughter shaped our rhymeThe lion guarded all with prideThe jungle felt like home to meThat world, the one I longed to seeWith you here by my sideMy tears became a hidden fallThat watered both the sun and rainYour arms, the shelter I would findThrough happiness and painYou said, “Go forth, the world is wide,”And with a wink, you eased my fearThose words still echo through the yearsA compass at my sideNow age has pressed its weight on meAnd time recalls the love I’ve lostNo map can take me back againJust echoes counting costYet still you guide me as beforeYour love surrounds me, pure and strongA quiet song within my heartThat lives forevermoreI see your gaze in my child’s eyesThe same bright spark you left behindAnd in their laughter, I can findThe life that never diesI close my eyes and drift to sleepBelieving you are always nearNot by the hand, but in my soulYou leave me without fear#poem #poetry #love #family #friends #life
