Claiming My Existence by lordoftherings at All poetry

by ~Gregg Rowe~

They say to me with all their honesty
“I do not know how you do it!”

I look at them through eyes that
Flash the hazel hues of the heavens

“In life, shit happens”

and all we have to do

is to take out the

O M P

Our Multiplied Pains

drop the N

for negativity

from complain

replace it with an M for milestones

where then we are left with

Claim

and take back our lives

i like this.it's refreshingly creative.the way you changed the words that were negative into something positive shows that you always have an optimistic outlook on life.good job.the unicorns and skulls are such opposites that they actually work together.i'm partial to unicorns.i have one tattooed in henna on my back.

AHHHHH Gregg, You have outdone yourself with this one matey, real positive, yeah, that's the way to go, no good sitting in your poop feeling sorry for yourself, which I know you don't! you are living life with as much zest that you can muster. You are H...y now? Well, you can fix that! saw someone offered you a rub.

Very true and wise poem - as always. What we claim as ours in this life is what we wind up with in the end. I claim hope and peace and joy and healing but most of all - love. God bless you my friend. - joanne

There are times when simplicity
goes far beyond profound.

We find the spaces

They contain
what need not be said

and also what has already been told.

But more
the silence in the noise,
the light in darkness

rain
with a p
Sshhh

Take the C
for courage

Friends who Care
And know not much more
need be said
among those who understand.
