Best Life Sucks Poems


Life Sucks
Life sucks.
Plucks you from your mother's belly
Weans, silks your skin, 
Fondly toys with you 
and grows you.

Life sucks.
Slyly beguiles you 
To mate, create,
Spit out your genes.
In moments of sin or folly.

Life sucks.
Soon, too soon, it pounces.
And plays a while,
Scratches out your eyes,
Crumples your bones.

Life Sucks.
Finally...

Life Sucks
Once a year, I shed a tear
For the ones I have lost
You will never understand the cost
I say to myself “why am I so lost?”
For this year I have shed more tears than I ever have, 
My dog has left the earth and passed, 
My...

Sometimes Life Sucks
Sometimes life sucks,

and yeah it hurts

but, that will never change.

So, do the tasks of life,

and beat the challenges,

God throws,

and remember,

God never said life would be easy,

he just said it would be worth while....

Life Sucks
Life sucks, you know that?
You can live the best you can and still feel like a rat.
You stay up for someone you care about to call,
And later find out they never cared about you at all.
You sit, waiting on something you expect to be great,
and...

Life Sucks and So Do You
Life sucks,

And so do you.

Leave me be,

Before you bleed.

Lifeless body,

That could be you, Hottie.

Sorry to be mean,

But, you make me turn green.

I’m being mean I know,

But, life sucks,

And so do you...

This Life Sucks
"This life sucks," myopics say
They can not see the light of day
They can not see beyond their nose
And that's the way their small view goes

How dreary every life would be 
When moon and stars you can not see
Or hear birds chirping in their nest
Nor watch...

Life Sucks
I'm not suicidal
But sometimes I get
The thoughts,
The feelings,
The urges
The overwhelming
Sadness takes over
And I can't move
Or get away from it
It shuts down my body
And I can't do anything
I get the thoughts
Of ending it all
And it tears me down
But I only entertain
Them to help
Because I know I
Could...

Why Do Life Sucks
Why do life sucks?
Why is it all about luck?
Why can't a thing go my way?
Why those annoying people have a lot to say?

Why do I have to study without any will?
I'm young, and I want to chill
Why do I have to follow that famous trend?
What's...

Who knows?

Tomorrow that person will be no more 

Who knows?
