Best Head Up Poems


Head Up Little Sister
Pushed back into a corner by what they claim her to be
They're not the same as what they claim they want to be
Stronger, they are taller by far born to rule and lead the way

She's no good lower class less than zero broken glass
Head down...

On this journey we call life; there will be bumps in the road.
Throughout this journey, doctors preach get tested.
Your birthday is coming up, congrats on turning 40 years old,
Everything in your life you have bested.
“Hello doc, nice to see you again, how is it going?”
“Hey...

Keep Your Head Up
Sometimes you feel all alone when the days seem long.
Going down a path where the rights seem wrong.
On the road of darkness.
No lights being shown.
But no matter how far you get.
It leads back home.
So we stay stuck in the perdicament
That you tried to get out...

Still I Hold My Head Up High
Still, I hold my head up high 
And why you might ask 
It was not I that left, but she 
I wear no mask 
My deeds are opened 
My life is before you 
I loved only her at the time 
Perhaps her love never grew...

I wonder how bright the stars were
When there was no electricity to drown them out
When the ancients roamed the earth
At a time, of building with stones
Did they look up as much
as we look down at our phones?

We get in the grip of governments scheme
 While we pretend to hold hands in the land of mean
 Sporting new clothes & attire
 What is my hearts burning desire
 Through a whole host of chorus that sings
 Let's rejoice & toast...

Keep Your Head Up
It was but a lonely day on that day
Wonder and confusion going through thee 
My eye caught something standing in the way 
Is that my beloved in front of me?
Such delicate features envelopes her
Like the moon dressed white on a summers night
Beautiful like the blooming...

Instead of the world that don't care

Keep Your Head Up
Watch the tide rise and fall
Just to know you're alive
No one sees what I see
They don't know what I hide
It's easy to drown
In the doubts of your mind
But we're not backing down 
'Til the sun warms the sky
Keep your head up...

Keep Your Head Up High
If you can keep your head when all about you
and they
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about,...

Keep Ya Head Up
Sit, and meditate 
Let your mind run free
Don’t you 
Worry about your troubles
The lord
Will make a way for you and me
Its part
Of your learning experience
To see 
If you could survive in this cruel and vivid world
That so 
Many of us are trying to do
It’s not
As...

Head Up
We need a touch of inspiration,
To lighten our pain and frustration.
Despite the sacrifices and amendments,
America remains mad and against us.

With the entire country on lockdown,
It seems impossible not to feel down.
It’s hard for us to keep our head up,
When worldly issues continue to pile up.

Everyone...

Keep Your Head Up
Author  Dana Redricks 
January 27, 2025

I know you're tired of going through the pain, and tired of standing in the pouring rain. From the moment you were born, a target on your back, facing the sun's warmth, yet feeling the dark attack.

You've seen both...

Keep Ya Head Up
Life’s pulling you down and forcing upon a frown.
Filling your eyes with cries and your heart with lies.
Pushing you down and telling you there’s no tomorrow.
Emptying out the good, and pouring in the bad.
Things aren’t always gonna be great.
But they won’t always be bad.
There are...
