Different Kind of Christmas

so you say it’s Christmas?
you say a time for joy, a time for peace, a time for giving?

i don’t believe you

where are the smiles
where is my peace

a treeless house decorated with disregard
a childless world of relentless pain but, it’s better for you
my loss your gain, my gift to you…
shed a tear for the giver

i can’t believe you

condemnation wears many hats
yours pulled down over your eyes, nothing gets seen
indignant reactions serve no one; the child’s soul is hungry
your gift to me…
shed a tear for the giver

i understand you

oh, it’s going to be a different kind of Christmas this year
of that be sure
no gifts for the innocent, the giver withdrawn
will shed his own tear

the last flicker of candle turns to vapor
shadows no longer dance but, fade away
new significance to the Silent Night
your wish in motion

i leave you

slip into an aided slumber
my last gift to you, careful what you do with it
you can’t return it, but you can
shed a tear for the giver…

im a fan man cheers 2u

Oh stef….
i know this one is not well received but, not all of life’s experiences are pretty. we all have different circumstances to deal with. in this case i chose Christmas as the subject. everyone has their own vision of it, and we sometimes forget what others go through.

the point was to make people think, and see. when we write or express ourselves in any manner that is the point. some show their feelings towards others. some describe things that they have witnessed. some just want to show how they interpret this world. whatever the objective, it’s all expression and there is beauty in that. you just have to open your heart and your mind.

this piece may or may not be about me, it may be just a way to say look around on that day of your happiness and reach out to those less fortunate. whatever you take from it is up to you. i know what it means to me.

i am so glad you took the time to say you were not sure on this one. as obscurelight, myself and others talked about in his post, it takes courage to put ones thoughts out to the world and open your self up for all to see. i think it also takes courage to say hey! wait a minute, i don’t like this or i don’t agree with it. doing so opens the door for discussion and understanding

i realize this is an uncomfortable subject for most people, it is supposed to be. it is a view into a place we all hope we never find ourselves or people we love. the reality is that this place does exist.

kc
you are right
and it made me feel your loss
it also made me want to call the cops....and make sure you are not alone this christmas

Life isn't always meant to be roses and chocolates. Its cold, dreary and painful.You portray this eloquently KC, being alone on Christmas makes it even more so cold and painful, for this I am sorry.

KC it may be a different Christmas this year...
but there are people here who- YOU will be in their thoughts
during Christmas...

thank you for posting and for the compliment
