Thankful For

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

I just want to live in peace not war

There are many things I'm thankful for

My family, my friends, my health

Was once so vain

Just chased after toxic women and wealth

Sometimes we could all do with a little help

Get told you should love yourself

Many take it too far

Comparing salaries, looks and their model of car

Had to go back to basics

Not many will understand reading this

Apologies for swearing but most take the piss

I could have died

So many times I've cried

Know I'm only human

But my soul is tourmented inside

I try to be good and pray I go upstairs

At the end of this Earth ride

  • L. B. Mek

    and I'm thankful for your bravely
    relatable, poetry
    it's soothing to read and learn
    someone else, resonates
    with our own vibrations of pain
    dear poetic kin
    (thank you! for being you
    for chasing truth
    for having hope, enough
    to scream our loud
    the injustices of our world..
    it takes rare strength of character
    to witness reality's chaos
    without being warped bitter
    I for one appreciate your poetic voice
    and purposed volition, stay strong!
