How do we wave goodbye to feelings of rancor?

Poetry: Let it Break

Let it Break

by tacticianjenro

Silence broken in the school

The anger rises in full

He throws his words away

A maddened berserk this day

He rises to shout his thoughts

Attentive and shocked, people was

Rancor rages in

Everything goes dim

They try to control him

He tries to loosen from their grip

He breaks out to the way

“Let me go, I say!”

“You’re crazy,” they tell him

“Please, restore your rhythm!”

He’s still in a dismay

Not taking in what they say.

Then from the crowd, he gives chase

And gives him a loving embrace

He rubs his back and says,

“Be at peace, it’s okay.”

“It’s alright to not stay silent,

Let out the hidden resent.

But then forgive and then let go

Come rest, let your emotions flow.”

“Let it fall, let it break

Let me pick up the fragments you make

Be weak for now, but then trust and believe

I love you forever…do not be grieved.”

He settles down and smiles

As tears flow from his eyes

The crowd abased him and saw how he’d fall

Yet what they would think won’t matter, after all.

Poetry: So Many, So Few

So Many, So Few

Poetry by: tacticianjenro (outofrancor.tumblr.com)

So many people

So many friends;

If only just one

Would be willing to lend

An ear for one’s heart to mend.

So many people,

Yet few who would spend;

To think of him selfless

And aid he will send.

Yet none, I see none

Willing to think less—

To sacrifice himself.

Always, these actions

For the benefit of who?

Yourself, yourself!

It’s a fact, that’s true.

No one would care to even see,

All is blind, and deaf to humanity.

Will someone open these senses?

Will someone open their selflessness?

Be a light in this mess.

Let your guard down.

Let others step on you.

Let others try to make you frown.

But you won’t break down.

You always go and flow with the river,

Always the receiver, never the giver.

So much joy you take, you take for yourself.

But in the end you’re lost;

In the end you’re dead.

So hate their actions, hate what they’re doing;

But love them all, love their whole being.

Be different, LOVE, and let light shine through

Not just for your benefit,  but those who you speak to.

So many people,

So many friends.

So little of them

Willing to make amends.

So many hearts,

broken and bruised.

So little working,

to love and mend those.

So many blind,

so many deaf,

so many strangers

who love only themselves.

So many people,

and hell’s breaking loose—

How ‘bout you,

which path would you choose?
