Paper Voices Poems Poetry for the Soul

Author’s note.PAPER VOICES is a series of books of poems that I hope can help calm a mind to quiet while taking thoughts to places feared to travel. I’ve written these books from different moments in my emotions. I’ve had my days of mood swing and those days gave different writing emotions.We all have something we can’t explain to others to their full understanding but to the paper we can say anything, pour our hearts out without fear of criticism. We can Express with our pens to all the world without fear of not being understood and we can Speak with the paper louder than yelling, using a quiet voice once we know exactly what we want others to know. We can give advice without fear of unwanted and seek advice without fear of being judged. We can express our faith, explore our sensuality and escape into love. Poetry has it all covered. Enjoy your calm.DEPRESSION===========My heart has only a crackIt hasn’t crumbled yetNot falling to pieces or carried on my backBut is championing all that’s unsettled, you bet===Then, Perspiration dripped from the core of angerDehydrating my mind set, but I’m so much strongerTired Walked inside my being. Depleting too many good thoughtsTaking my mind key, claiming to be my new bossWhat ballsWatching to see me run when it calls===But I have no time to take a make-over, no testMaking Crazy manoeuvre me to be driven over at bestAll I take from life is, that what’s mineSo Mad can quit trying to make Crazy shine===Now I’ve got control, took over the steering wheelMy Sane is wrapped with steel that none can unsealSo As I step to the next page of life’s session, a missionI won’t take baby steps, I’ll just walk over any Depression==========PAST******Past I don’t want to talk to youYou taught many lessons...and I have work to doYou’ve lifted me up and also put me downYou’ve cushioned me from harmBut sometimes stomped on my crown*****The good time were good when you wanted roomBut the bad, my heart got thrown, fragile, caught with a spoonSo past stay walking behind meAnd let my memories blow free*****Past, There were times you brought me downBut it didn’t last cause I picked up my frownYou won’t be able because I won’t let you rule me‘Cause I have too much future that I plan to seePast my memories of you I don’t see as wrongYou’re free to find me but don’t get me wrongFor those times when I feel you want me weakStrong it always what I’ll go seek*****Past walk behind me for that’s your placeGive me the room to breathe, leave my spaceYou were only meant to be my teacherAnd at this point I can be a lesson preacher*****The good time were good thoughBut the bad, my heart got thrownSo past walk behind meI want memories of you to just push me*****Past, some memories of you are gone; shunBut so many more I just want to forget, be doneSo you haunting ones hiding to make your returnDon’t. Leave me alone.You’re wasting time where I’m concern
