Unlike Others



I am not like other girls 

I am more unique 

You came into my life with swirls 

But then left it feeling bleak 


I am not like other girls

Because of you I am this way

You gave me independence 

What more can I say ? 


I am not like other girls

Changed in the twinkling of an eye

You made me this way

You see, before your last sigh ! 


I am not like other girls

I came to see you at rest

Your Clown Face not on as yet

You, Just You, Without any Jest ! 


I am not like other girls 

To your funeral, I didn’t go

Even though I was your Widow 

Too many mourners, full of Woe. 


I am not like other girls 

Inside I’m full of Fire

My last view of you 

Was at the Funeral Parlour 


I am not like other girls 

The Other Woman Said

Why were you not at the Funeral ? 

Even though he was in my bed ? 


I am not like other girls

Though you meant the world to me

I say Goodbye differently 

That’s just the way I am !  


Inspired by the line - I am not like other Girls, a FB Group. 

Just wrote this after my online Poetry Group as left feeling really inspired even though I shared another poem of mine today.

Tears and Fears

No-one sees my silent tears Or feels my hidden fears As I lie here so weak  Exhausted- unable to do hardly anything!  Weaker and Weaker Weaker still  Feel so I'll, no pill Can take away this kind of pain!  So frustrated Having to pace my days Can only do something every other day And then, only morning,  Afternoon or Evening!  Feeling weary, aswell as teary Legs getting weaker still  Feel so I'll Can't get up or down the stairs Without difficulty !  I need a stairlift And a wheelchair Or mobility scooter Why do these things have to be so expensive ?  No fun becoming more and more disabled And having a label Is it the Cancer or Fibro ?  If I soon die, we'll know !  Getting less scared of death I know I am saved  On that day, my pain will cease.  19th December, 2019  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes

His Mercy runs deep

  Jesus never said ….   Jesus never said…… To give your opinion  So may your words  Be seasoned by grace  All of us are sinners There is no escape  Be wise as serpents  And as gentle as doves Jesus does not want our opinions  Words should be spoken with love So, think before you speak - Not all Christians are strong in spirit  Some are very weak So, lift them up when weary Encourage them with your speech  Jesus does not want any to turn away From him, love everyone you meet  Make them run to his mercy seat Don’t accuse them like the devil does Jesus frowns on such a thing.  Acceptance, not rejection  Is what truly draws them in So next time, before speaking Rein in your opinion  Love the sinner as Jesus did.  Stoop if you have to Love draws them in Without God, they’d be more stones thrown,  So, think before you speak  Don’t make your Christian friends  Feel not good enough  Jesus sets them fr...
