Best Adversity Poems

i am no longer
lost in the labyrinth
of your twisted mentality

i kiss the lips of freedom

once you drove
me insane in the brain
now stubborn stains wash away

i will never bleed again

as i liberate my mind
from your shackles of sorrow
my suppressed spirit soars

watch me fly

i collect every
shattered shard...

“Power over Adversity”
by: Eric L. Boddie


Thank You for the victory that only You could conceive

Thank You for the air You allow each of us to breathe

Thank You for the food that keeps us going strong

Thank You for the Church, the place we all belong

Thank You...

If you never try,
you will never know.
If there's no stuggle
there's no progress,
so how can you ever grow?
After the coldest winter
doesn't the flower bloom the most.
Each storm has its' reward,
yet not seen & doesn't show.
Stay firm & rooted,
& all shall come to pass.
Remain true to who...

I can't sleep at night, so I stay alive.
I am awake, and I search and strive.
I'm no warrior, just a bumbling scrambler.
Restless nights render me a rambler.

I crave a paladin, a light to guide my way.
Yet, gloom reigns, and all hope wanes away.

Adversity has many names,
Sized from minuscule to monumental,
Creeping in unnoticed,
Hiding behind life's little annoyances.

Adversity,
Balloons at the worst possible moment,
Taking everyone by surprise,
Left standing in total shock.

Adversity,
Cutting to the core,
Leaving scars
That never heal.

Adversity,
Spreading a shroud of darkness,
A heavy burden on the shoulders,
A Millstone around the neck.

Go thru now; come out on the other side later
A loving husband, a devoted wife, a well learnt daughter.
This method does not only work for relationships
But on this, take the time to ponder and see the end result.
This matter is plain to see; most people...

Surviving adversity, it is really against the odds
that you'll still stay normal with your full deck of cards
Like many a cause that you know have a price
where principle is concerned, you're ready to sacrifice

There is right and there is wrong, you don't need to belong

Drenched in the rain, she walks up the hill
Pot in her hand, feet marching towards the well
Day or night, candles flicker where she dwells
Her other half drinks in absurdity 
Throats parched, kids study in obscurity
On topic “Unity in Diversity”
She feeds the stomachs, lay them to...

Standing in solitude
Unclothed of all that is earthly
Yet unashamed, in fact proud 

For she had stood tall
To all adversities in her path 
Emerging victorious 
Stronger than before

This poem belongs to all the children who will never know the joy
of running on a beach and getting sand between their toes. Told
from the perspective of a 12-year-old boy, wheelchair-bound.

I know a place where the stars kiss the sea;
and fish sing all night in...

The walls may attest to my fears of running into the unpleasant occasion, 
 Visit’s thee at least once a day. 
A struggle taken unto thee,  
Trampled by trespassing footsteps that roam my musings,  
Will it be painful, swift, or merciful. 
Will thee...
