Best Breakdown Poems
Nervous BreakdownHeres comes the nervous breakdown,
quick depression into slow anxiety.
Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
swallowing pity of yourself.
Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
cold heat shaking your bones.
Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
aching brain, twitching veins.
It's the nervous breakdown
with explosive results.
Why the nervous breakdown?
Because too much knowledge provokes me.
Bring the...

Breakdown LaneQuiet my jangling head
[marbles set loose in a drain pipe]
Silence churning doubts
[acid bath of corrosive thought]
Calm my rasping breath
[jagged edges of restricted output]
Cease excessive activity
[upanddown the spiral staircase]
Steady my stricken hands
[pounding pegs into nonexistent holes]
Undo me....

Ain'T Many Days Till My BreakdownJust sittin alone at my barstool
yes, darling, I'm feelin real fine
and I confess, I admire your dress
yet I have to withhold the next line.
Cause there ain't many days till my breakdown
this darkness is comin on strong
I'd love to reptile to your come hither smile

Intergalactic BreakdownThe equivalent of a cosmic flat tire, the star collector overheated again.
Should've topped off the subzero heat transmogger back at Stuckey's.
Yep we have 'em too.., who doesn't need a Pecan Log Roll, now and then.
Two Roadway startruckers snapped up the last Elmer's paste pies., the...

Technological BreakdownTechnological Breakdown.
.
Has Hi-tech technology
Now gone too far
That we seem lost without
In this hedonistic instant gratification
Obsessed days
.
Or were we better without it yesterday
When life was simpler and less complicated
In so many different ways
.
Of course it has made life easier
And communication better still
But I think...

BreakdownSinging a song in my ear,
Tantalizing my anxiety and tears,
Your voice repeats my fears
Never letting me forget,
Why im here.
Doubts cloud my mind,
About myself this time,
All the time spent taping the shattered pieces,
In three words
You left them battered along the floor.
It was as if i...

Idyll (Idyl)
Beauty In the Breakdown.The world is on fire and I'm thinking that's not such a bad thing.
Maybe it will take away the pain,
condemned to a lifetime of agony in my heart.
I doubt it'd be strong enough, but it's a start.
This pain feels indestructable.
It just keeps building brick by...

After the Breakdown On Rat Race RoadUse at your own risk!
Recommend durable tires
and a durable psychology.
I know, I know, I know
that I can't live
through it again.
That's why I'm walking,
watching my feet
in my red-rubber shoes....

BreakdownWaiting here
Looking at the stars
Watching all the pretty people
Climb in all the pretty cars.
The sun's creepin up
With the numbers on the clock,
It's got me second guessin
If I'm really waiting for you
Or if it's all just a show
'Cause my car wont start
And my doors- they just...

The BreakdownKill me now,
no one needs to know how.
They don't care anyways,
let me waste away.
I'm so alone,
I'm always on my own.
I was happy one minute,
now I want to cut.
I'm trying to stay strong,
but it's been too long.
I'm giving up,
since no one is helping me up.
I'm falling...

Menthol Breakdown
Warlords love the crack cackling sound ...
faint vapors smelled worldwide,
when twine toking on the choking peace pipe
Lying lips huffing and puffing,
blowing smoke out the barrel rear end
Frontal sphincter holes
open and close ...
Pre-negotiated spoils fanning the wind
Rub two cancer sticks together,
to start a third...

Ode
Walls, a Mental Illness Memoirfeel so heavy,
Weighed down by an anchor
No one can physically see.
I'm expected to be okay
To live a normal life
While dealing with a
chemical imbalance,
An emotional disturbance
Whose presenting symptoms are
Self destructive binges
And manic tangents
That have labeled me reckless
And often left me stranded.
I...

In the PocketIn the Pocket
For years Nana begged for a holiday
But pop's only passion was Faraday
He failed to do the math
Created a psychopath
She smirked, "Give my regards to Hemingway."

What when where why remedy

The devil to he who suffers introduction grins fair adieux
