Best Hang On Poems

She’s dead they said!
She I thought. Who is she?
I stared straight down at a frumpy old thing.
On the bed, a lump, so dead.

Was that me? I asked my spirit guide.
My guide laughed; he always loves it
That it takes me a while to recognize my flesh...

When life is filled with pain, hang on,
for tomorrow may bring comfort
and who knows joy may come your way
don’t despair, life is uncertain.

Be it a greater hell, believe
When life is filled with pain, hang on,
And if it doesn’t, don’t despair.
Times not right for surrender.

Give time...

The green
Marlboro light in her fingers
Smoke shifting in the air
The wind blowing through
The combini flags
Waving surrender
We stay quiet
In the dark night
If one of us speaks
A single word
Everything will overflow
Endlessly
Nothing can stop
The tears
The truth
The taste
From flowing
In our mouthes
Keep on pretending
Just gotta
Hang on a
Lil longer
Have a
Lil more...

death is very clear 
                 not like blurred reality 
               where snags just appear

When life hands you a heavy load
and your left feeling like a warted toad
You've been knocked down flat on your back
And feel that you are under great attack

Things start to mess with your mind
The longer you dwell in it you get further behind
You feel that...

Hang on, stay put
Just plain: we stay one and we are set
It’s like holding on to our seat
No backing out
Fasten our seat-belt
Back to back, side by side
It’s survival, I bet
Though we go out
We soar to our loves’ height
And I am sure our path is correct
Hanging...

Whoa back Lucy, hang on to your panties

Hang on Mr. Reaper we weren’t quite done!
Couldn’t you, possibly, sidestep just one?
Give us more time and I promise you this.
Each day will be savored and sealed with a kiss.
No time to waste as the minutes are done.
Along with the hours, days and the months.
Now...

This one's a giggle, ain't no other reason

Grab your baton
Conduct your laugh factory afore ya get eaten...

Hang on sister

I’m glad I saw you, made the effort
Left all the baggage behind and arrived
With an open heart. Still unsure why I did?
You’re just like how I remember mum.
Four-feet nothing, plump and round
I’m getting there, it’s what aging does.
So glad I called, unannounced, I...

Hang on... I'm coming,
but by the time i get there
we'll already be dead
can't you smell gasoline nightmares
and taste betrayal?
But when i get there,
you better believe the life
i hold will be given to one
and admired by all
Hang on...I'm coming
thanks to tele-speed,
thoughts arrive before 
consideration, and you'll
be...

If you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and damn well hang on
Wise words from a mangy old dude whose still zinging along
You may be dangling
But keep on cackling
Till the damn rope breaks, serenade us guys with a song...

Does life hang on a tiny thread,
haven't many been misled?
Discouraged? One needs the courage
to achieve the impossible!
Decry fate, never fling your sword
to wound a moribund soul already bleeding;
control your irrepressible rage, doesn't healing
begin when reasoning is finally deployed?  

Does life hang on a tiny...

This one's a giggle, ain't no other reason
Hang on to your panties, it's happy time season
Frowns are frowned on
