Cup of Change

You said it was over
But it's not over yet,not over yet
You promised that it was over
You said you won't discriminate
You promised you'll be different
Thinking 'bout you lately
Know your favorite is the red paint
Tears that you chose not to see.

Be it blonde,brunette,black or fade
Or the catchy strings of red
Be it wavy,plain,curled or straight
It all makes the same braid
Be it the brown,blue,green or hazel
Or any other in the color palette
Let's just focus on the story the eyes tell
And burn all standards of beauty set;
Let's hug the warmth of the heart
And ditch those who've set bars
Of height and weight that hurt
The choice is not always his or hers.

The grey cloud of greed
Shaken up by the bright light of kindness
The tiny granules of arrogance
Washed up by the tides of curiosity
Where nobody's scared out of the fence
And can swim in the waves of diversity


 
Where every war of Colorado
Is blown away by the breeze of peace
Crystal clear in the wildest tornado
Where all the hatred seems to cease
Let's break all the walls
And mix the brown,black and white
Let's help to stand up whoever falls
And be together in the fight
Cause it's now or never
Let's stand for the cup
The cup which brings change forever.

    Your poetry is really vivid and as a beginner I am really inspired by your works, but does poetry have to be this long as mine are just 12 lines or close?

      Thank you Ayesha and poetry can be of any length...just an expression of your thoughts-no hardcoded rules

SHOES

Walking across the Brooke We admire all around but fail to look What would happen if they barefooted you Bleeding from the rough stones,you would hardly have any clue Just like we rarely see what parents do Always acting like a shield and behaving like a shoe. A shoe is useless without its sole And so is a human being without his soul The physical body is just a broken shoe Only the mind can decide what it can do; A pair of shoes is a great resource But a single one,worthless even with herculean force So is the society,so are we Who wins is always 'us' and not the 'me'. Ever noticed the shoelaces That you tie in a load of paces One loose one tight just a perfect balance So like your traits to build the proper performance All day long you work so hard And so do your shoes without saying a word Still they prefer to be on the ground Being so humble till success is found No matter what they are never proud Never like your mouth,so loud.

Break

Take a break and look around The world keeps running or trying to settle down, A pinch of happiness seems hard to be found . I know its getting dark stars shoot by Strings of guitar brushing past your soul, Its has been now hours catching up with the lie. So close to feeling what ya never felt Can't say different as history repeats, So close to seeing that ya never dealt. Take a break, live in the moment now Little conversations stuck in coffee breaks, Bake a cake or just make a dough. All along walking through the woods A little yellow leaf peeking at me, All along singing past the trail in my hood. Running back home with sunshine chasing Shadows smiling on the autumn floor, Taking along the sweet memories so amazing. Sometimes just need to let it all go Eyes lit up at the sound of ding dong, Sometimes let's try not to feel so low. Freshen up all those crazy midnights A ray of hope even in dark alleyways, Party all night and twist in dim light...

Through the Shadows

I wish it was a bit more fun Why are we always on the run? Working through the day and night Fight until we see the light Wish you would tell me your plan 'Coz it's no longer according to mine I still strive to be your best fan A little bit more of you to shine It all feels like a never ending mess All remnants of a frustrated case Maybe you're leading me through the maze I feel a little doubtful in the chase. But you're always there hidden from sight Faith is so blind, lemme close my eyes Leading me through shadows and light You're the only truth in my world of lies. Disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people Don't hunt for food anymore, its now the hunt for success that's for sale You know it this time I wasn't even cheating You saw how I gave my all How many more heart breaks greeting How many more times do you wanna see me fall? I still believe in you and only you Sometimes it's just way too dark Could it not be a bit more easy too? Doe...
