Best Get Your Act Together Poems

When this troubled world 
Gets you down so much
And you feel you need 
Someone to listen 
Loving arms for sanctuary
And a loving touch

It's hard to keep your balance
In such an unbalanced place
How can people not go crazy
In a world that's insane

You go around in circles
Tied...

That child really needs you 
Get your act together 
Take care of your responsibilities 
Pull yourself from out of the gutter 
Putting yourself in a dark situation 
Sadly, tears your world apart 
There is no call for substance abuse 
Just take these words to heart...

When I was young the stress clouds were more reliable, they came and went just like the light of day and the dark of night. As I got older, the stress clouds became more obstinate, seemed more serious, and stayed in my head as permanent...

Mommy, why do you keep putting that needle in your arm?
Why do you keep putting us at harm?
Mommy why do you keep putting that needle in your leg?
How many times do we have to plead and beg?
Mommy, are we not enough for you to put...

David? 
A bachelor?
Why,
when Mona Lisa is not taken?
Is he not drawn 
by her amazing beauty, 
and the innocence in her eyes?
Her closed lips silent, 
never to lie.
Is he among those who laud her creator?
Tell me David, are you that guy, 
Who love searches for

Life isnt fair
And it starts at home
When you're the responsible one
Even if you weren't there
You get exploited and used
Yet still it's not enough
Whatever the issue
It was because of you
If only you would get your act together
That would solve all of our problems
You were a mistake
I...

Lately each morning I wake wanting to cry
Trying to figure it out
Don't know why

Pondering the cause, recounting yesterday
The day included cooking, cleaning
Nothing significant, everything okay

In the morning, at noon, at supper watched the news
Oh my gosh, no wonder I have the blues

Most of the stories...

there are voices all around me
saying this and that
the truth is coming out
you are in another world
that I don't want to know
unless there is something you want
I do not exist to you
why you make me suffer
make me watch the man I love
kill himself each day
you...

Once again I find you writing lines on someone you barely know.
What is it that you wanted, calling out to me in such a late hour?
Like the boy who cried wolf, you are! You got some nerve girl thinking you can turn to me
asking me...

God said, “Get your act together boy or upon ya comes my wrath.”
Bob said, “I can’t believe you’d bother me while I was in the bath.”

God said, “I can see everything that you ever say or do.”
Bob said, “A little privacy please, it’s not like...

I insist to 
all of you out 
   there in the darkness
Find your spiritual home 
   Islam, Judaism 
Christianity and other faiths 
    are open to you 
   You must make your decisions

I want so much to cry ,
But my feelings I must conceal.
Hold back the tears from my eyes
And also this pain that I feel.
It's already been over a year now,
Why must I still dwell?
Why can't I just let it go?
And forget about how far I...

World on a string
By Michelle Morris
23/11/2022

You want everyone to think
You've got the world on a string
But no one seems to realise
You're struggling with everything

All your parties and excess
Your fun and carefree attitude
Is a front for the dark reality that
You're in deeper than you should be

It's...

You are still locked into an endless game and that is a shame, you are still locked into a mind game and the people are going insane. The cars are still running up and down the street without music or a beat, the drivers are...
