Poem #265
Nov. 19th, 2024
Written by: Cody Ogle (myself)

Authors note: A poem from a chapter of my life when everything felt uncertain. I wrote this as a reflection on how quickly life can change and how easy it is to feel lost. Looking back now, I'm grateful it became a reminder that even the darkest moments are chapters, not the whole story.

Hands of Time

One slip up can lead to
A perilous walk
Down a treacherous path.

Disoriented
Plagued with fatigue
Death feeling imminent.

Solutions nonexistent
Time slipping away
Gone in a flash.

Authors note: Some chapters don't end with a slammed door, they end with a quiet goodbye. This poem is a reflection on love, accountability, and the difficult grace of accepting that not every story is meant to last forever. Sometimes the hardest lesson is learning to carry the memories without carrying the weight.

Life Lessons

I hoped forever with you
Was in our agenda
Yet I walk out your door
With nothing but my belongings
And a broken heart in my hands.

They say love is unpredictable
But with you I never guessed
Giving you every last bit of me
Had always come so easy
Until one day we stopped.

Stopped hugging, kissing
Days when we were missing
Packed their bags with the rest
Our love dried up, deserted
No longer residing, here no more.

I played a part in this disaster
As we sit here and collect ourselves
Separated from what once was
Learning to accept where we are
Continuing our journeys alone.

Authors note: Every meaningful path begins with uncertainty. This poem is about the courage to take the first step despite not knowing where it will lead. We often admire success while forgetting the countless attempts, mistakes, and quiet moments of doubt that came before it. Growth isn't born from perfection, it's shaped through trial and error. Here's to the people who choose to begin anyway. ✨

Trial & Error

Treacherous road
Filled with hardships
And obstacles.

A path some pursue,
Where many become lost
Or unable to continue.

Intimidation from failing
Or never beginning;
Left at a standstill.

The brave pave the way
Embarking something new;
Leaders of the pack.

Authors note: Author's note: this poem reflects the bittersweet nature of change, the courage to leave behind a familiar life and the hope that comes with beginning again.

Renewal

Walking away
From a life I once loved
Hardships endured
Pleasantries shared.

Taking it in
All that it was
Gone with the wind
Without a trace.

Beginning anew
Broad horizons
Steering toward
This next chapter.

For years, I limited myself to writing four poems a month.

That discipline helped me become consistent, but somewhere along the way, the limit became a ceiling.

The old version of me continues to be left behind.

This month I've written six beautiful poems, each one filled with genuine feeling, emotion, and honesty. Instead of waiting for inspiration to fit my schedule, I've started allowing myself to write whenever my heart has something to say.

Growth isn't always about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's simply giving yourself permission to become more of who you've always been.

More poems to come. ✍️

Authors note: Written during a quiet night drive, this poem captures the calm that arrives when the noise fades and self-reflection takes the wheel. Some journeys aren't about reaching a destination, they're about finding your way back to yourself.

Reflection

Mind peaking
Thrill seeking
Nights like these
Soul at ease.

Familiar route
No sign of doubt
Cruising slow
Laying low.

Time to reflect
No more neglect
Choosing me
Becoming free.

Authors note: chapters begin and end everyday in life. Everywhere you look and turn some start anew and others fade away. Enjoy every chapter on this path we call life. I hope you all enjoy! 💖

Chapters

Where do we go from here
The end is drawing near
Our path we once had crossed
Becoming faded and lost.

This flame is burning slow
The light is dimming, low
Unknown of what's ahead
This state of constant dread.

A page is getting turned
These lessons we have learned
Led us to where we are
Moments both near and far.

Authors note: don't sit there and regret the time spent with others, appreciate the tender moments shared.
Someone encourage me to post more frequently, I'm hundreds of poems behind. 😂 I hope you all enjoy! 💖

Curtain Call

Cheers to what we had,
Through the good and bad
The love that we shared
And nights when we cared.

Here's to those days–
Blue skies, cloudy grays,
Memories we made
Through life's parade.

We shall never forget
The day that we met;
Smiles and laughter
Then and thereafter.

Don't ponder and miss
Just reminisce
On our time together,
Now and forever.

Authors note: the pain we experience can feel heavy. Where it turns us toward isolation, self infliction, pondering thoughts. Just know that it's temporary, and we do escape from its clutches. I hope you all enjoy! 💖

Hidden in Plain Sight

Alone in a crowded room,
My mind races, thoughts zoom;
Lonesome feelings arise
Leading toward my demise.

Lost in my own head
So much left unsaid;
Sitting here wondering why
As I look up to the sky.

Unsure of what is real
Confused about how to feel,
Running from the past
Escaping this pain at last.

Authors note: nothing in life lasts forever. You show maturity when you can accept that, and move forward in the best of ways. I hope you all enjoy! 💖

Half of a Decade

Five years
Sixty months
Two hundred & sixty weeks
One thousand, eight hundred & twenty-six days
Forty-three thousand, eight hundred & thirty hours
Two million, six hundred & twenty-nine thousand, eight hundred minutes
One hundred & fifty-seven million, six hundred & eighty thousand seconds
Half a decade long
Through good times, bad
And everything In-between
Being the of best friends
Regardless of what happens,
Where we end up in life
Knowing we have eachothers backs
With whatever life throws our way.
