Watch Your Words

Watch your words
They scald
Remember if you are about to say something nasty
Best to say nothing at all.
Shut your mouth
Be quiet for once
Your words are weapons as well you know.
Years later, people will remember how evil you were
Don’t blame drink
Or anything else
This is your mind it must be how you think
Why can’t you take a moment before you shower 
those evil words on the floor
Knives fly from your mouth
You distress yourself much less anybody else
You have never grown up
You are a sad soul
Always looking for someone else to blame
You are as fickle as can be
One minute sweet
The next as sickly as can be
You can be acidic
Your words cut deep
You rarely think
Mayhem follows you
The way its always been

Image Of You

It’s the quietness that gets to me, I know it shrieks the truth, Every situation is replayed a thousand times within my head, If Ive made a mistake, It chills me to the bone, Gnaws at my brain, Makes me feel a little less happy at home. The darkness frightens me, For it allows me to have crystal clear clarity, Every wrong step, I now know the way, Too late for me, I have lost my way. Through all the broken pieces that make up my life, I see haphazardly, A kaleidoscope of whirlwinds, And still... I always see you. Whenever I am in need, Your memory comes to me, Softens every blow, The image of you from long ago, Soothes my torn and worn soul, Allows me to carry on, At least for a little while more. © 2019 MK AC Nevin-Crooks Love Life Poetry

Stars

It's all the little things, That make us who we are, Taking comfort in the sea, Staring at the stars, Long conversations after midnight, Coffee at all hours. We crave laughter that sings in our souls, These are the things that enthral our lives, Ignites our hearts, Our dreams shoot to the stars and back, Makes us understand what life is all about.

Brain

If you have shoes on your feet, Food in your stomach, A roof over your head, Love in your heart, A brain in your head, You are luckier than most. Don't lose hope, You can choose which direction you go, Even if it feels wrong, When you fall, Pick yourself back up off the floor, You know the correct way to go.
