Bigger than mine (New)

Hours upon hours I listen to your pain
and minute after minute you make me feel more ashamed
ashamed of who I am, ashamed of my accomplishments
ashamed of doing better than you, you're always passing judgements
have you ever just took the time to ask your own self why?
why  your life is filled with such misery, maybe you're the reason behind your demise
blaming everyone except yourself, unable to accept responsibility for your actions
instead putting others down who had nothing to do with your pain, brings you satisfaction
what a tangled web you weave, getting stuck within your own web
I hold on to every word you say, and still can't get what's going on inside your head
how can you expect good to come out of the multiply bad things that come out your mouth
your crude ideas and wicked thoughts are what's gonna keep your lips stuck in a pout
nothing I can do and there's nothing I could ever say
to make you change your song of sorrow that you sing to me every day
saying I will never understand the struggle that you go through
though I sit behind my telephone enduring your verbal abuse
How could I not understand when I'm practically with you all the time
you actually think I'm just sitting here laughing at you and thinking it's all fine
what kind of person you must think I am that I could not possibly feel your pain
I don't have to be right there beside you in the cold to know I'm the one you blame
it's only natural, for I am the one that's closest to you and you say no one else cares
tell me why should they when all you do is complain and go into a blank stare
you'll never notice my anguish, though in your world it wouldn't even really matter
for your problems will always trump mine, mine are thin and yours are fatter
how could I possibly compete with your problems that seem to outweigh the world
trust that if I had them in my possession and I'd give you diamonds and pearls
if I knew it would set you and your life on a much better path
until then, I'm giving you motivation and understanding that this too shall pass
I could tell you how understanding I am of your situation til I'm blue in the face
unless you believe it yourself, you will continue to reside in the same lonely place
a place where you find comfort in being right when you're sometimes wrong
a place where you manipulate the situation controlling how we get along
until you get better and your life gets you to start feeling fine
I might as well remain quiet for in your heart, you're problems are bigger than mine

Q: When do you start accepting responsibility for the way your life is turning out?  Can you truly blame someone else for something they have no control over?

Restless sleep

When you can’t sleep, count sheep But the sheep don’t appear The echoing of your name Is the only thing I hear In my mind, as if my brain Vanishes, leaving an open space Throughout the village of mountains I hear the echo and in the snow I see your face When you can’t sleep, count sheep Still the sheep aren’t in sight The fire in my mind that burns for you During sleep, once again ignites Toss and turn in restless sleep To get close to you, I sometimes walk In reality you’re not around So why in my dreams, do you stalk? When you can’t sleep, count sheep But when I do, the sheep quickly turn Into sweet memories of you In restless sleep you need me When I awaken, it’s not true written by Marcia S.

The Weight

I could feel the weight of her world upon my shoulders Yes, upon my shoulders the weight of her world I flashback to once upon a time when I was a little girl Brought into this world by a mother and a father My mother and my father I was brought into this world A world that was created by my Father A world that was created long before my birth Long before my delivery, a time before my worries You know they say to practice what you preach And I teach, I was taught from birth to love Yet, at times I feel that love doesn’t love me back Instead, the kind of love that I attract is the kind of love that attacks And smacks and hurts and bruises one’s ego Making you second guess your first thought And ignore your second and third thoughts Makes you at times question your whole entire existence A lot of pieces of my heart, tend to be missing So yes, I could feel the weight of her world upon my shoulders For I, for I, me, I am not getting younger, yet older I feel paranoid, ...

Side tracked

Side tracked Lost in your so called love for me Forgot about all that was important to me Losing track of the time that God gave me Letting you constantly blind me Being with you made me forget how to write Beautiful words within my soul ignite Once you are gone away from me You see, I can no longer afford to be, a part of your misery Desperately seeking a new place to fly Leaving you be, must let sleeping dogs lie For your misery shadowed what was supposed to be our happiness And we have been side tracked by this constant reminder of your sadness That leaves me lost walking alone in the dark Unable to sleep, unable to eat, or love from my heart The way I was taught to What was wrong with it being all about you? So much to be wronged when I had a family of my own Neglecting them behind this mess, we haven’t grown Together, yet much far apart The love I have for you I wish it had never start Love doesn’t take you down past roads you already been Especially where the road leads you to...
