Poems about Life.

Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-white-ceramci-be-happy-painted-mug-851213/ Here is another collection of poems about life and situations of life. These poems has no bearing on how I feel. I love feeling what others feel and then express it through my words. Sometimes people say I express their feelings better with my words than they would themselves... Most of the time I just imagine things or observe things and put my interpretations to it. I don't have to be right or wrong but I know at least someone feels that way that I have expressed which make my poems relatable. **Exhaustion.** *Sometimes you feel you can't push anymore* *Mentally and physically exhausted, your head spin* *A lot keeps happening but you have to keep grinding* *The hustle is real and everything calls for your attention* *You are either in a mental state of detention* *Or physically you feel so spent and your body is in suspension* *It's easier to make excuses and get pity from onlookers* *It's the human thing to desire sympathy from others* *But ask yourself, what help does that give to you?* *Pity or sympathy is a soft cushion on a barber's chair* *It keeps rotating and it's comfortable but heads nowhere in particular* *It's easier to lose track with little distractions here and there* *It's easier to get comfortable with pity parties too* *Chin up, no one can make the needed step without your approval* *If you don't move, no one would take the leap for you* *I understand that life can be draining and I feel the exhaustion too* *I know people might betray you and I've had my share too* *Nothing moves until you make something move* *Everything answers to your actions or inactions* *Exhausted, yes, take a pause, take a step back, relax and go again* **Numb.** *I know not the right emotions to display on happy days,* *neither do I know the feelings to show on sad days,* *I spend my days, not sad, but not excited too,* *I have no tears in my eyes, even if I have pains in my heart* *and I have no smile on my face when my heart pops up in joy.* *I'm not heartless but I'm not sure if I really care too* *I'm not too knowledgeable with numbers,* *probably that makes me numb-er,* *But can't I just let my emotions into letters?* *Probably this feeling will become better* *The world describes me as cold-blooded,* *But what happens when adrenaline rushes through my veins?* *What happens when empathy surfaces in my heart* *And a large crack cuts through my heart?* *Do I still pass for a cold-blooded human?* *Probably that's the way it is,* *But even the hardest human has a soft spot* *And the softest being has a hard spot,* *It all depends on the perspective we see from,* *You can feel numb but you still have life in you* **Free Bird.** *A free bird leaps* *On the back of the wind* *And floats downstream* *Till the current ends* *And dips it's wings* *In the orange sun rays* *And dares to claim the sky* *But a bird that stalks* *Down his narrow cage* *Can seldom see through* *His bars of rage* *His wings are clipped* *And his feet are tied* *So he opens his throat to sing* *The caged bird sings* *With a fearful trill* *Of things unknown* *But longed for still* *And his tune is heard* *On the distant hill* *For the caged bird* *Sings songs of freedom* *The free bird thinks of another breeze* *And the fat worms waiting on a bright lawn* *And he names the sky his own* *But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams* *His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream* *His wings are chipped and his feet are tied* *So he opens his throat to sing* **Choose to be Free.** *You chose the path on foot of thorns and spikes* *When you could have gone free on the bike* *Life can be fun and hard, depending, it's just like taking a hike* *It's about your perspective and the things you like* *You don't have to answer to every name-calling if your name ain't Mike* *Learn to be free and just do it like Nike* *Being free is a thing of the mind and you can actually learn it* *It doesn't have to be as hard as you pictured it to be* *Life can be hard, I get it but your approach can be a cushion too, you know?* *The road to being free is doing what gives you joy not what others think* *A lot of people have become secondary characters in their life story* *How long would it take you to walk the path of freedom?* *It took others 40 years in the wilderness and that was a choice* *Your wilderness experience doesn't have to last that long* *You can dust yourself up and dance to the tune of your song* *Before you walk the path of freedom make sure you free your mind first* *Only then can you satisfy your hunger and your thirst* *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks.
