The Harvest of Your Laziness #sadpoetry #poem #freeverse

It wasn’t real, that connection you held up like something rare. It was only your restless emptiness reaching outward, never inward where truth lived. There was something in you, a rare kind of wrongness, not loud, but steady, growing in the quiet corners You refused to clean. Your habits sank deep, roots of neglect and excuse, feeding on your comfort, tightening around any chance of becoming better. Inside your chest, something lingered, not wounded, but slowly rotting from everything you chose not to face. Your words carried weight, but not wisdom, dirty with judgment, falling on others as if they owed you effort You would never give yourself. You dreamed wildly, expected greatly, Yet moved nowhere. Laziness sat in you like spring, fresh, alive, growing stronger each day You chose not to change. And so you became a tree, Not shaped by storms, but by stillness. Not broken, but unused. A tree that stands alone, roots deep in wasted time, branches stretched with empty wants, leaves gree...

Ring of Deception "marriage" #family #sadpoetry #heartbreak

Married, yet speaking borrowed love,
Words dressed sweet, intentions thin,
A heart that wanders elsewhere freely,
While vows grow quiet, worn within.

Just a player passing through hearts,
Hoping to taste, then disappear,
Calling it love, calling it fate,
While truth stays distant, unclear.

Across the line, a trusting soul stands,
Hands open, faith held tight,
Sending love with no conditions,
Believing every word, every night.

They build hope on fragile promises,
Dreams shaped by a practiced voice,
Unaware they’re loving a shadow,
Not a man, but a reckless choice.

A marriage worn like a costume,
A life lived carefully untrue,
Smiling in public, deceiving in silence,
Breaking hearts without ever choosing to be new.

Oh, the cruelty of false affection,
When one loves deeply, the other plays—
One offers truth in its purest form,
The other survives by lies and masquerades.

May truth one day tear the curtain down,
And free the heart that loves so real,
For love deserves honesty, not games,
Not a player’s touch, but something you can feel.

They called me "Something else" #poem #sadpoetry #freeverse

They gave hatred a name, A nickname sharp as stone, Spoken in laughter, As if I was never born whole. They forgot I had a real name, One whispered once with care, Now buried under jokes and smirks, Lost in the open air. Laughter rose like a cruel fire, Hatred dressed as play, Every word is a quiet push Pulling my fragile soul away. Negativity held me by the ankles, Dragged me through each day, While dreams grew tired of standing And hope learned how to sway. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, Just rooms full of broken ties, Family wounds left open wide, Conflicts that never learned to die. I cried in silence, Tears with no cloth to claim, No shoulder, no mercy, Only the echo of shame. What a shame, this world can be— To strip a soul of dignity, To laugh while someone disappears Slowly, painfully, silently. Yet still I breathe beneath the weight, Still carry the truth they tried to erase: I was never the name they used— I was a human, I had a face. © 2025 Gloria Penelope

The Turning Wheel of Tomorrow #poem #inspirationalpoetry

When your life feels steady, calm, and bright, When roads are clear and days feel right, Pause your steps, soften your tone Don’t walk as if you rose alone. When all is sorted, plans align, When fortune seems forever mine, Do not brag of what you own, Pride builds walls you’ll face alone. Don’t treat others as less or small, Today’s silence is not their fall. A struggling hand, a humble face, May soon rise strong in time and place. Remember this: no fate is sealed, No future fully yet revealed. What they lack now may soon appear, Tomorrow’s wealth could draw them near. The poor today may stand up tall, The quiet voice may one day call. And in your hour of doubt or need, They might be the help you plead. So choose respect, let kindness stay, Life turns its wheel in quiet ways. What you give now will one day be The bridge that brings humility. © 2025 Gloria Penelope
