Best Act Like Poems


Must I Act Like a Goat

Must I act like a Goat for you to know
that I am not a Goat?
Goats are stupid and senseless but I am not!
Treat me not like a Goat 'cause I am not one!
You know it all but never give me a breathing space.



Must I act like a Goat to show you that i
Don't like your character and face?
You think I can't  wait and see another
Who can over throw you in the same act.
Change your attitude towards others in your life.
We are all in a learning field of life.



You think that I am a Goat because I acted like one?
No I am not, I did that to get something from you.
Must I act like goat always to you in life?
I may be one today but tomorrow I will not!
Differentiate me from those Goats at your door,
I am not one of them!

When I Act Like a Baby

When I act like a baby? 

So innocent at heart , full of life
Making no enemies of none,  free mind
Baby cries,  a sudden switch to laughter
And as they play,  to catch unlimited fun

I am your man not by muscles
Responsible,  so lovely and cool
Determined and very ambitious 
But in some ways, somehow
Will my silly acts be tolerated my darling... ?
When I act like a baby

When I come home,  so stressed up
And the pain,  unintentionally transfered
Will you my nerves cool down?
And my mind, serves water for a cooling
Will you fetch me water to bathe?
And my sweaty clothes help me removed
Oh my darling,  I will sometimes act like a baby

A man is strong,  yes,  he is masculine 
Strong for hard work, to feed his home
He keeps a lot of thought in his mind
Some dreams hidden to manifest
He cares,  even when he doesn't show
But to his wife,  the soft part of him
He still cannot but as a baby act,  sometimes! 

Darling,  will you like my mother act?
Giving me your shoulder when I like a baby cry
Wiping my tears with your bare hands, so comforting
Calming my Souls with your sweet words, so soothing 
Will you please take no offence at my babyish acts?
Please do,  honey,  when I like a baby act

I will, your man,  forever be
A father,  brother,  in your whole life
Bring you coffee while you lay in bed
Takes you places you never dreamt of
I will come home, early,  my damsel
My weekend spend in your lovely arms
I will,  yes,  be your everything 
But all I for now ask of thee
Please take me as your lovely first son
When,  though a grown up man,  I acts like a baby

Act Like Something We Ain'T

sometimes the 
African Juju spirit
inside of me
make me want be 
Kunta Kinte but
all we really 
have to do 
as Black Folks is
to let go of 
all that and a bag of chips 
the negative images and the stereotypes
love thyself because
we have a real beauty
deep within us
we define who we are
as a Great People
from Mother Africa
if we act naturally and
stop trying to 
act like something we ain't
brother and sisters
we can do this


Act Like a Man

I’ve bitten my tongue one too many times.
Tasting my blood of defeat.
But above all else, I wish I would just speak.
To tell him to shut the **** up already.
And show him that I’ve tolerated his degrading uses
of the words, *****, gay, and *** long enough.
But every time I protest, it is I who tastes blood of defeat.
And locks myself in my room, to scream and cry
about being too weak.	
He wants me to “act like a man.”
And to “grow a set of balls.”
****, why doesn’t he just clone me to be six feet tall?
And be a man without a job and no morals at all?
And brag to my homeboys about my sex life and refer to women as *****es.
Or to pick on boys like me—who he wouldn’t mind giving stitches.
And yet, he wants me to “act like a man.”
No, he wants me to be more like him.

They act like I don't exist

The most heartbreaking thing in a mother's life 
Is the that you are made to feel even though you are a mother of three and you are a wife
It doesn't make you feel good and it breaks your heart 
When the 3 children that you gave life to 
Acts like to them you don't exist and that all that you ever did for them wasn't even real 
They happily post all kinds of things pictures and stuff online 
But look back on social media through the years 
Not one picture of me with the family you will never find
It's like they forgot they are mine 
All i see is hurtful I can't even hold back the tears
I know uI wasn't the best of moms but I did the best I could 
I'm only human like everyone else I made mistakes and bad choices and if I could be given a chance to go back and change the past I wouldn't hesitate change everything then I really would 
But I can't help but wonder after so many years that my kids could hold such a grudge 
I don't even know what I had done wrong but none of them have the right to judge

You Act Like God Shouldn'T Have Created Me

You Act Like God Shouldn’t Have Created Me!

You act as though God shouldn’t have created me!
You show this by the way you’ve treated me!

You go through life, as if I don’t exist!
I’m not able to talk to you…
As you insist!

If you truly valued this life that God gave me…
Won’t you take some time and show me?

I’m probably not what you’d expect someone to be…
And yet you’ve chosen
 not to be around me!

Is this what God wanted?  
Or what he had in mind?
That day that he decided to create mankind?

Jesus came!  With a message of forgiveness!
He died on the cross, because he loves us!

Won’t you be God’s fountain of love, that’s overflowing?
It needs to come from your heart…
 And showing!

We’re all important and valuable to God almighty.
Whether you’re an infant, teenager,
 or the age of 90!

God created us, so that one day we can be together.
Do you want to be with me in heaven, forever?

May God be glorified in what’s
 done amongst us!
Can we come together?
And ask God to bless us?

Premium Member We Wont Act Like That

Newlyweds in Michigan City trailng tin cans pause at the stoplight.
Car hauling distraught looking man on a rope races out of sight
You don’t suppose that’s her husband! The new groom said.
Oh yes it is, said the bride. He’s my uncle, his name is Ted.

But it says they have been married thirty years.
My Aunt Agnes is awful, she told him, thus, his tears.
The new groom stared at his bride uncomfortably.
We won’t act like that he said. She smiled and said “we shall see.”

To:  Whosoever Cares Enough To Act Like They Do





One wondrous day I was sitting in the shade with my hands pressed closely to 
my face.  Setting high upon the last chance to grasp what was left of my self, for a 
small peace of mind to consider my life mine.  I was crying with a smile so to 
speak, so as funny as it seems at my strongest I felt weak.  Never said a single 
word all the while I spent looking in the mirror at an image I once feared oh so 
much.  Still I stay on the grind when the goings getting tough enough to crack any 
ordinary man, which I’m not so I always stay ahead of the flock.  With my secrets 
and my feelings tucked away in a sock on the top of my runaway from list.  Trying 
to runaway from every bodies self absorbed cancers, I see clear now that love is 
not the answer.  Been transferred to higher states of minds, state your peace or 
two cents and then give my ears a rest.  I’ve been done with non-sense the 
starting of the newest year I’ve every come to know.

How You Gonna Act Like That?

Got me crying over you
While you go walking away tonight.
All I can ask to your back is,
How you gonna act like that?
After giving you what most guys would think is great,
I don't understand how you just walk away from what we make.
I thought what we had was forever made.
How can you decide to walk away from us?
I thought I heard you once said you loved me.
How you gonna act like that?
After I tell you we're gonna soon be a family,
How can you keep walking away from that?
Please turn around,answer me.
It just take a minute of your time.
How you gonna act like that?

Don'T Act Like You Don'T Know Me

Now I've been quiet for a long time
And i ain't keeping quiet no more.
You once were loving, then controlling,
And ran me straight outta the door.
Now when I first saw your face,
You were the one who kissed my tears away...
Now all you do is push me around,
And you can't expect me to stay....

Your love, it wasn't true.
It was never me and you.
My heart's filled with misery.
Don't act like you don't know me.

Don't stand there lookin all sad now,
With tears rollin down your face.
Cause I was nothing but kind to you,
And you threw me all around the place.
When I chose to leave,
That's when you chose to act right....
But now it's too late,
My heart's filled with hate,
And I no longer choose to fight.

Your love, it wasn't true...
It was never me and you....
This heart's full of misery....
Don't act like you don't know me.

Men Act Like Men

What’s the real deal with men today,
Disrespecting their lady’s is not the way.

Chivalry seems to be a lost art,
I learned mine from a lady who was very smart.

I saw her abused with my own set of eyes,
Late at night I heard her sobbing and felt her cries.

My ex stepdad was a no good alcoholic who was only brave towards women and kids.
But one good thing kids grow up and quickly I did.

If you don’t love someone you don’t have to hurt them, do you?
But if that is the way you show affection then pity you!

Common sense says treat someone like you want to be treated,
Especially a loved one, for loving and companionship is why they were created.

Women were not made for men to take their anger out on,
And if you think they were then Bubba you’ve got a circuit blown.

You need major help is all I can say, 
You need to get in touch with God, you know get down and pray.

Cause you been listening to the devil to long,
And I can assure you he won’t tell you nothing but wrong.

Try being nice to that wife,
You might even realize what you’ve got in this life.

Act Like Crazy

An hungry man
Is angry man
Is crazy man.
