Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Hate: 24 of 180

Never before have I hated anyone until I met you Some husband you were, always cheating, always beating Never drying my tears, only contributing to my pain I had to get you out before I went insane Controlling all of my moves, trapping me in a box While you seduced other women, all around the clock Stealing my belongings and...
Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing Curing shyness and other social fears: 2 of 15

Living with social anxiety is very difficult. It gets in the way of your life and makes things difficult that would normally be easy for most people.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Handle with care: 37 of 155

At my door in the morning, a quiet shrieking, light scratches Something was there, I was certain, very certain Out of bed I lept up and put on my robe, Muted the TV, put my ear to the door With caution, I opened it And in walked a blonde tabby, relieved to see her new home A kitten so young, so fragile and dear So pretty she...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Walking with God: 59 of 206

As I walk beside you, you comfort me You make sure that I do not trip or fall Like a daughter, I can tell you anything And you'll listen and offer your precious advice When I feel like falling, you hold me up When I cry, you wipe my tears When the weight is too much, you carry it for me You carry me as well When the earth is...
