Best Fighting Poems

You promised to take care of me like a new cherished bride
I cling to it, waiting until at the point of suicide
now your expectations and my anger collide
because your blessings seem to always find a place to hide
I try to be my own guide
then you...

We all think he is strong

but he is crumbling
from the things he can't discuss.

His smile is actually his tears,
invisible to your eyes -
drowning him inside.

He is falling,
boulders upon his shoulders,
breaking his bones,

he claims
they are just the burdens of mankind.

He is in a place
he has not...

Into the valley of death
Fighting the dragon demon
Numb from the heat of his breath
Deaf to the yellin' and screamin'

Lying in vomit and left for dead
An angel of mercy arrived
Touching the sickness inside my head
How lucky I was to survive

Battles regaled in chronicled tales
As scars from...

Your yellow appears during
the darkest days
as you feel the black set in. 
Being aware of your 
instincts causes a chain reaction 
that bleeds into nothingness,
blended below your tortured remorse.

You're scared, I know. 
The trepidation crowds your self-worth.
You're sad, I know.
The truth of the matter is...

This guilt I feel consumes me 
I want to let it out 
But I'm terrorfied of the consequences... 
I gave into temptation 
And now I pay the price... 
I'm so sorry for what I've done 
I pray that this isn't the end 
I pray that...

I stood on the corner of heartbreak and sadness
Collected the coins from the fountain below
Emptied my pockets of forgotten wishes
Held out my hands and had nothing to show

Walked on a path of the best laid intentions
Cursed at the sun still refusing to shine
Fell to the...

There's a tiny monster gliding in the air
Whoever you are, it shows no spare
Swiftly quaffing the earth's unstained blood,
it resolved to bury a raft of bodies under the pleading mud. 

Missiles are aimed at an eclipsed enemy
Trying to discover home in this endless journey
Warriors are...

From Wisdom Born, Decades Fighting Fate's Cursed Hand

In youth, a young lad roars for much needed applause
in old age, wisely remains silent with just cause,
seeing the end near, some shed bitterest of tears
thinking such splashing supplications, angels hear;
whereas this old, callous world neither sees nor...

Outwardly I may appear mildly angry.
Inside an inferno rages.
In my head the voices whisper,
and I fight what they tell me,
I blare music to drown it out.
Alone, I fight, as always.
I can't trust anyone enough
to let them in.
I play my part,
and I try hard to hide.
I...

Alas, the hour is getting late; 
dark clouds are sailing 'cross the sky.
And as I fight this sleepy state, 
I hear the time go ticking by.

Thick shadows climb along my wall – 
alas, the hour is getting late.
A dream stands by, while eyelids fall 
against...

I hear whispers that sing past my ears...
Telling me that my walls are made of fears...
A breeze flows through my clouded mind...
Little secrets and hidden words that I find...
Some come down on paper, others I file away...
Take them out in time for a better way....
My...

I lost my whole family
So I took in a neighbor
I have paid, sold, washed, shopped, cleaned, and done for this neighbor more than anyone in his life has
His own children won't call him, 
but I do
His ex wife is dating his old friend
I continue to...

We arrived with expectations of triumph
There were agonies, desperations and tears
Coloring the hills with melancholy shades
Erasing the imaginings of soldier’s anguish
Embracing loss from the heights of passion
Where worries win and misery invites pain
To grasp the soul with a sense of forbode
Whispering despair through breaths of...

So you've been around the world and
Have university degrees and
Married
With lots of trophies?

With all you have-
You should be ashamed
Throughout your life-
No wisdom you have gained?

So this is your worth and
this is your cost
today you have everything
so tomorrow- will be lost.

I lay here scribbling words
Feeling guilty...
