Best Backbreaking Poems

I sprint as I cry in pain
Coach yells, “ RUN, PASS, SCORE”
9
Blocking out all the screaming
And the chaotic noises
8
From the sidelines
I dash through five tough defenders
With everything that I have got
7
Out of breath I devour the last of energy 
I can use to score the...

Diego Rivera’s Flower Carrier

My load to carry is backbreaking.
But this I must do to feed my family.
On the ground, on all fours, praying;
For fairness in barter and my return safely,
In this capitalist enterprise, I am engaging.

My basket is laden to overflowing the brim;
Of the most...

Summer is here - how I love this time of year!  My garden’s filled with sweet scented wallflowers and pretty pansies. Vibrant butterflies are flitting from flower to flower and bees are busy buzzing, pollinating the xanthic melon and courgette flowers. Purple and pink...

We'd rather put up with the ordeal
Isn't exile a pride?
You cannot judge us,
But merely respect us.

However much we forgive,
We cannot find consolation
Every day, we relive what happened.
Every day.

We still smell the stench of them
They came back many times
Each time, they...
Accused. Humiliated. Taunted. Tortured.
And our innocence...

Ever since a child
It's all been a vicious cycle
Through all the tribulations and trials
I was happy or I didn't smile
Stuck for awhile, or got by with a different style
Most obsessed with wealth and a prestigious title
So much becoming malicious and vile

People and their crooked ways
Time...

Let's have some fun outside
I'll plant some new flowers
spruce up the tired summer beds
so out I wandered into the garden

Hunt high and low for my trowel
can I heck find it, bet your ass no
ok I will use a folk instead
that is right close to hand

Oh...

Ah Sheik Hog - Ho!
One "FAKE" Wingman

on thin ice - Skidamarink

When will the answers arrive
Heaven sent instead of after
Years of echoing work and backbreaking doubts?...

Caucasion-Americans Please Don't Get Offended...This Is Purely Fictional

Doin backbreaking labor in the scorching sun
Stopping only to glance at my wife and son
I need to get back to work so I can get done
Or one of the White Devils will introduce me to the shotgun
Picking all...

Truth is a treasure
hid in the sand
I’m always gonna keep
digging and digging
Flashing my searchlight,
looking and looking
I’m forever on the treasure hunt
Being a truth prospector is hard work,
you gotta go sift thru a lot of dirt
Caked up lies, built over time ... 
buried so deep, 
making...

This goes out to whoever
I got to do better
And keep it together

Blinded by it
The reason why I buy it
Can't deny it
I continue to try it
For a period of time, I was able to fight it
Gone past the point of needing to hide it

It's there for...

It all goes without saying
At times it's mentally draining
Physically straining

In my head and heart constantly raining
Still in training
In order to reach great things
Can't get it done by waiting
Give it all your best attempt before chance is fading

From bad choices, still paying
Couldn't fix it by praying
Or...
