Best Better Off(P) Poems

sure...she'd forgiven
though heart had been riven
she loved him: a given

she said, "it's Ok...
that's how the boys play.
Don't worry, I'll stay
but not again, hear? No way!"

But that broken trust
shattered by his lust
turned contentment to dust!
Forgive him, she must!

she kept it inside
could not bruise her pride
to the...

In my day we played outside, riding horses,  
Playing hide and seek and on swings and slides.
And only on rainy days
Were we confined inside to play.
We played slap jack, crazy eight, go fish
And Lincoln logs was our dish.

Everyone drank coffee and tea
No caffeine worries...

When the light of day is climbing 
And all the words I’ve heard are rhyming
And everyone around me laughs and sings;
When the sky looks so appealing as I gaze into her ceiling,
No one can be better off than me.   

When the rivers’ slowly...

My son’s name is Dylan, was country raised
in the hills of Wyoming where cattle graze,
helped on the ranch, but never felt fulfilled,
hated his hometown as teens often will.

But he ‘did his time’ until graduation,
went to college clear across the nation,
said by the best companies he’d...

Don’t wanna sit up 
Don’t wanna lie down
Don’t wanna play
Don’t wanna work
Don’t wanna create
Don’t wanna be idle. 

Don’t wanna sing
Don’t wanna dance
Don’t wanna talk
Don’t wanna listen 
Don’t wanna know
Don’t wanna think

Don’t wanna lie
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna live
Don’t wanna cry
Don’t want to be enthused, 
enlightened or...

from rags to riches...diamonds back down in ditches
scars and stains and supernatural soul stitches
i rise and i fall like the sun and the moon
every dark door i open leads to the suicide room
ghosts of gloom loom over my bed while heratic hellions run wild in...

How is it great to wakeup in the morning
Without thinking stressfully about you
How is it wonderful to go shopping
without telling you what you buying and where to go
How is it relaxing to laugh with people
Without you telling me not to do
How is it nice to...

Was Samoa better off without


The missionaries coming to save us


Oh enslave us to leave our roots


To submit to their god


Because we were savages


That ate humans


But didn't Europeans eat humans too


Yet we have mixed their infected bloodline with our customs and


Still call it Fa'a Samoa


Or the...

As i lay here
beside you in bed
I cant help but think
that im better off dead
all we do is fight
all day
and all night
I reach to the side
flick off the light
and pray to god
it the end of the fight
You say my name
i look to the side
you place...

To the person who promised "till death do us part"

I want to start out by saying that although you didn't fulfill your promise to stay by me, I am better off than I would've been if you would've kept that promise. I trusted you, let...

Would I be better off dead?
I can't live this way anymore
Thoughts are rushing through my head
This void consumes me to the core

Would I be better off dead?
Am I a burdensome failure?
Madness tears at my weary head
Will I see the light? I'm not sure

Would I be...

And before the sun comes, could we hide?
Before the naive succumb, have we died?
It's not better off, I trust you my dear.
Oh how you scoff, when I'm to fear.
And tonight, we'll take the world by storm.
There's no fight, as Death takes my form.
My blood in...

Better Off Without You.

I’ve been hearing rumors.
These things that you’ve been saying. 
A tragedy a travesty
these games that you are playing.

My heart was set on moving on
my feet were moving fast.
Then, here you come again
and dredging up the past.

I know it wasn’t long ago
it seemed...

You’re always saying that you don’t have anyone
Who really loves or cares for you 
But I know from what I have witnessed that you’re a liar and it’s not true
Because from what I have seen is you always try to act innocent
While you spend your...
