    Girl with The Sad Eyes

    Hey girl.You’re about 21,your life has just begun.And still,your smile doesn’t reach your eyes.Maybe, you’ve gotten wise;or maybe you realizedthat you don’t know where you’re going.you’ve got two kids that you’re toting;Life is hard.You’re in school and working two...

    • You always find yourself when you don’t realize it.
      23 sounded like a good year of life for you!

    • Beautifully penned, PG. Excellent write with a very powerful message. Writing is therapy I agree with you completely. No matter how creative I get with a poem or lyrics there is always a therapeutic quality even as simple as getting something off my chest. Very relatable piece lets me know I’m not alone in the world. Appreciate you.

      • Thank you Damian. I love that we can turn such pain into such beauty with the art of our choice.. there really is something poetic about it, ironically. Lol.

        Thanks for reading my friend. xx

    • PG

      When the darkness surrounds you and you think of the unthinkable remember this.
      You have to be alive to find peace.Death just brings death.
      Now you take care and keep writing.

      🙏💋🙏

    • This is powerful and the images and words are delicately constructed. Always move forward PG, never look back. Well written.

      • The pain I’ve endured has always been a stark reminder that I’m alive. I’m grateful for that.. always moving forward. Thank you, Vision. xx

    • Great piece. There’s also a hidden but great message in here. Yes, kick your kids out of the nest. But let them know if pressure builds, if the world becomes to much, the door opens both ways and they’re always welcome. So many people commit the acts that they do, endure the abuse that they do because they have no where’s to return to

    • Your muse has the answer of your being, so continue to let the words flow and live as you dream…but don’t any wooden nickels, are flying monkeys.

    Don’t Leave Me by Myself

    My mind is a mess,and usually i’m pretty organized.But today is a day of darkness,no more sunny skies.It’s mostly cloudy, the world’s gone gray.Would it be worse, if I asked you to stay?I don’t want to be in my...

    • I love this because, the dark is my friend when scribbling. The dark is an embryo in the womb of the mind. Keep on, getting on with your writing.

    • Very well expressed. It is a well-felt plea that we all can relate to. Your version is precise and captures the feelings well.
      Now cheer up! 😉

    • Powerfully penned, PG. Excellent write my friend. Your plea is so authentic and real, and your reading expresses the emotional element of the words themselves. We all face self-doubt and our vulnerability escapes through our deepest fears sometimes. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

    Some of us see the rain,more than the sunshine.And I mean, really, that’s fine..eventually you learn to appreciate it.I’ve learned to dance between the drops,as well as I’ve learned to cry in it.but like the flowers and treesI grow,...

    Lost Me

    I tried so hard to save you,and in the process, I lost me.Forgetting all the things I wanted,I abandoned my own needs.I put you first,and in turn what did that get me?A knife in the back,and a broken heart,when...

    • The audio, the image and of course the poem is perfect in it’s delivery and meaning. So much pain and sorrow pour out of this one. Nice work PG. xo

    • The odds are never in your favor trying to save a broken individual, someone that someone else broke. What good to existence is two broken individuals? You’ll never be a pair, a pair of what kintsugi or mosaic pieces. Many will relate to this because of human’s diamond in the rough complex. We’ve all tried to save a destined train wreck, Tight

      • True enough…maybe I just suffer from a savior complex..even after being let down multiple times. I guess I never learn my lesson. Thanks for reading. xx

    • It’s true
      I’m a healer and I can’t resist the broken or else I’m just drawn to what I suffered and I try to teach by experience. Call me a mentor or just call me for dinner. Yin gets Yang.
      Sometimes I’m successful and other times not.

      Never feel bad for trying PG.
      I feel ya

    • Your voice and your words were just beautiful.
      In my experience, the healers of this world were once the broken.They are the only ones that can heal the broken.
      I don’t know if I’m a healer or not but my favourite saying is “don’t let anyone suffer alone”. So,I help where I can and sometimes I get hurt but helping is a joyous experience and far outweighs the hurt.
      Hope that makes sense.
      Terrific write 🙏

      • It does Peter, thank you. I just have this thing of trying to see the best in people. And I want to help, but it’s exhausting when they don’t try to help themselves.. it might be foolish. But call me a fool.. I’ll never stop trying. Thanks for your kind words and wisdom. xx

    • hello lovely poetic one I feel your deep ache and passion…this is so beautiful in its pain and truth ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, PG. This one pulls at the old heart strings my friend. Excellent write and your narration sends the message home. Healers are often the ones most subject to getting hurt, we sacrifice ourselves and our needs by always putting them on the back burner to help others, especially in our relationships. I speak from my own experience but it sounds like you’ve been there too. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thank you for reading my friend!! It’s sad that so many can relate..but lets us know that we are truly not alone..

        xx
