Best Lose The Battle Poems
Dedicated to my Dad who lost his short battle w/ Colon Cancer on June 18,2013
I hate you Cancer
Your vile evil and cruel
You don't care who you hurt
I'll never forget that day
I'll always hate you for it
Your heartless Cancer
You took someone important from me
Someone important from others too
Took people who didn't belong to you
I hate you for it
You disgust me Cancer
You had no right to take him from me
He mattered more than my very own life
I hate you for taking my Daddy
I hate you for taking others too
I hate you with a passion Cancer
You took part of my heart with him
You took part of my soul that day too
I hate you for it
I hate you I hate you I hate you
I hate you with every fiber of my being
Go back to Hell where you belong
I hate you, others hate you
Your not welcome or wanted here Cancer
I hate you more than his doctor's
I hate you more than God
I hope I get to witness that day
Witness the day you fall
And you will fall Cancer
You're gonna lose the battle one day Cancer
I'm gonna laugh and dance around your grave
You'll finally get what you deserve
And you'll never be able to inflict your disease on another soul

I used to march without a sense of pride
And never held myself with high esteem.
Appeasing everybody else’s dream,
I’d lose the battle fighting for their side.
I was a soldier, blank and hazy-eyed.
My heart would stop and start and wait and scream
Because the fight would not ignite a beam
And leave me dark – a fight with strength denied.
But now, I’ll bid that weak design adieu.
Remove the shield that reaches from the past
And let my heart be stabbed with Wisdom’s dagger.
I now must run with strength in every shoe
And fight so that my will is not the last.
I’ll redefine what it means to have “swagger.”
On my knees, Lord, and with hands raised
I pray I need you, oh how I need you today.
My heart is broken, my strength is gone,
I am desperate for love only you can provide,
and the song only you can sing to my soul.
I'm begging Lord fill my cup, make me whole.
This world tells me I'll never be enough,
the world beats me, breaks me, tears me down.
Without you, I lose the battle within;
I lose myself and the will to carry on.
I ask you, Lord, for the courage to rise above
with hope and a new perspective.
With you, all things are possible.
Your goodness and love follow me everyday.
You are my fortress when I need protection,
my refuge when I need to feel safe.
All that I am and all that I have,
I lay at your feet. Please bring me peace...
You make all things work together
for my good because you love me.
Please, do not let me fall, give me new life.
On my knees, Lord, and with hands raised,
I pray I need you, oh how I need you today.
I fight inside myself
but I am a paper warrior
rock and scissors had their way with me
cut up to shreds and pulverized to bits
I fight inside myself
but always hold the white flag
crying as rockets fly around me in the night
helpless and under-skilled
I run serpentine and aimless
bullets in crossfire
I fall into a hole
mud sucks at my shoeless feet
I scratch as I am climbing
the enemy surrounds me
laughing at my plight
I fight inside myself
and always lose the battle
defeating both sides
in simultaneous seppuku
laying on the ground
swords of truth buried inside
disemboweled with head hung in shame
I lost at my own game
I fight inside myself
but I am a paper warrior
rock and scissors had their way with me
cut up to shreds and pulverized to bits
I understand your fear, your need to run away,
I feel your tears, I cry them too,
and wish I could disappear, forever.
My cousin, slept with and dated the man
who raped and mollested me when I was 13.
She still talks to him
as if they are friends and I am a liar.
One of my friends, who is suppose
to be one of the closest people to me,
Acts like best friends with the man who abused me.
The man who made me worthless,
broke me down and degraded me.
And to this day I still flinch
if someone moves toward me and I am off guard.
It makes me sick every time he posts
a picture of him, but he wont stop.
They tell me to forgive and forget
- that it will help me heal,
I think they are ****in' whacked out of their minds.
How can they tell me to forgive -
lets talk about it after they walk in my shoes.
I will never ever forgive
what those men did to me, I don't have to.
I battle with the will
of not going to the hospital again,
To be honest, I'm surprised
I haven't given in yet to my desires.
Sometimes I get so scared that I will hurt myself,
Or lose control, that I hide anything
I could use, and bite my nails away.
I don't want to lose the battle,
I can do this, and so can you.
So it seems, that in many ways we are alike,
And I have shed tears for you,
And the pain you have endured within this life,
And I feel sorrow for the way the world leaves us,
Mistreated, broken and holding onto love.
I see your words and I worry and hope you are alright.
But I want to tell you now,
When I look at you what I see,
A reflection of you, looking back at me.
This two way mirror lets us look inside,
so that you can see my innards,
And I can see your heart.
I can tell that you love deep,
You are beautiful and talented,
And so very very sweet.
We deserve more from this life,
But its something we must take,
to battle our demons,
And prevail in the light.
You might not ever see what others do,
I might not either, its the simple truth,
But I know your strong,
even when you don't believe you are,
Have faith Kenzi, you have the strongest of hearts.
You can lose the battle and still win the war
As long as you know what you’re fighting for
Because in the end it doesn’t matter how many times you fall
Or all those times you had to crawl
You’ll regret the times you didn’t even try
And all those times you pitied yourself and asked why
More than the things you attempted and failed
Because even the hero loses some fights in those fairy tails
So when you feel you can’t go on anymore
Remember what you’re fighting for
Even now you can rise from it all
This battle may be lost but that doesn’t mean all are
Today is not the day you die
It’s the day you’ll win the fight
And years from now when you’re old and grey
A tale of victory will be told for this day

Dedicated to my aunt, Jessica Wyer, who bravely fought breast cancer and won
I'm the lyrical one and I have been for years
Ever outspoken the voice of my peers
Spit phrases that thrill when those lyrics I drop
I'm a lyrical legend and top of the shop
Well my words kinda flow from the pen to the page
In a lyrical battle as war I do wage
The intrigue they provoke is my only reward
For my pen is much mightier than any man's sword
I can use words as weapons slay all in my path
Or my words can can bring comfort the sweet aftermath
I'm the lyrical one it's a game that I play
And the lyrical master of all i survey
No need to be modest tis with no regrets
I process to be lyrically (as) good as it gets
And if you can freestyle and think on your feet
In a lyrical battle invite you to meet
As head-on you will face me but best you be sure
That if you lose the battle you can still win the war
For I must now inform and hope not to offend
I'm the lyrical one and will be 'til the end.
I’ve stood on your balcony beside your Bald Eagle.
Wolves prey on the lonely souls lost in the night.
I’ve seen your attraction to the dark side flowing.
You have no more room for regret and no more
ways to fill up your abundance.
I’ve stood on your ledge beside your hallowed
dungeon. The more I close in to the edge the
more I see the pain of falling. I will not reach for
your corrupted hand to pull me up and save me.
You have your way, I have mine.
I’ve stood on your citadel beside your house of
detention. Clearly you don’t feel the loss I feel
when you hang your hands out to dry in the rain.
It isn’t fair to lose the battle after the game is over.
I have good intentions, you do not.
I’ve stood on your reformatory beside the bed
where you weep. Times have changed and the
avenues driven are way too far to let go of pain.
Curiosity fumes at my brain while the wind blows
into the nothingness of my black hole.

You try and try,
And never give up,
Even if you feel like dropping it,
You still lose the battle,
Holding on,
Staying strong,
People just let it go,
Losing the battle,
Might not be so bad,
Knowing you gave it your all,
Justify's what you have done,
That's just tossed in the clouds,
Losing the battle,
Isn't a big loss,
You gave it your best shot....
Sew your lips or brave to speak
Keep your tried quiet and walk the creek
Understand not of all you see
Life is not it's own reality
Leave alone your bones behind
So you may too feel peace of mind
Only select few will see their own
Few will walk along others to steal a home
So many choices yet none are right
Often we all lose the battle of the night
Can you feel the void in the air
If you turn around nothing is there
Even though you know their hiding from your view
They await for you to give a a chance for them to get you
Yet if you go on your own way you death is in vain is anything but true
Drifting off into a black space
To a land not far away
I see visions of another world
Where only kings and queens can play
There are jesters in the courtyard
There are dragons all around
I can feel my astral body
Being pulled down to the ground
Suddenly I'm standing
In the corner of a room
Where a princess is preparing
To wed the king of doom
I can see she isn't happy
With her future groom to be
I feel I've got to save her
From a life of misery
I go and stand beside her
I hold my hand up to her face
She turns and looks upon me
With a haunting style and grace
I take her hand and lead her
To a stairway down the hall
Where we use a secret passage
Hidden in the castle wall
It leads us to the courtyard
Where we find a steed of white
We quickly climb upon it
And we ride into the night
****
A man in shining armor
Kicks me from my sleep
He tells me I must fight him
For the honor of his king
I see the princess crying
And shaking with the fear
That fate will turn against her
If I lose the battle here
So I take the sword he hands me
And prepare to make my stand
When I see a flash of silver
Coming from his armored hand
The battle rages onward
For and hour from the start
Till at last I pierce the metal
And stop the beating of his heart
The princess comes to thank me
For the deed that I have done
She says that I'm a hero
With the victory that I've won
She reaches for her necklace
And she gently takes it off
It holds the royal emblem
Of the House of Amberlot
I know she can't go with me
And she knows I cannot stay
So she gives me one last kiss
Before she slowly fades away
****
The morning sun awoke me
With a bright and blinding ray
So I went to close the curtains
And begin a brand new day
As I started getting ready
I thought about my dream
And smiled at the notion
That I might have been a king
When I went to pick my watch up
From the little bedroom stand
I picked up something different
And held it in my hand
What I held was a medallion
Made of gold and finely cut
And the emblem carved upon it.....
... Was from the House of Amberlot
Rockman
I am a victim
And I refuse to believe that
I can overcome the symptoms of PTSD
I realize that this may be a shock, but
I will heal my pain
Is a lie
My life is hopeless
In 30 years, I will tell my children that
I have my priorities straight because
Hatred
Is more important than
Love
I tell you this:
Once upon a time
I was strong
But this will not be true in my era
I am a failure
Experts tell me
I am unlovable
I do not conclude that
I will be loved
In the future,
I will lose the battle
No longer can it be said that
I am worthless
It is foolish to presume that
I am a survivor
And all of this will come true unless we reverse it.
(Now read the poem from the bottom to the top.)
Farewell Failure
noting really matters
this I finally see
what used to give me purpose
finally set me free
everything I cared about
brought me to my knees
and now I only long to be
dust blowing in the breeze
hope is all I really have
that god will set me free
before I lose the battle with
the hate I have for me
i realize there is no god
just dreams and fantasy
and life is just tragic fate
of earth's toxicity
i refuse to be the voice
of collective fallacy
I can't escape the failure
that you call destiny

Fleeting Visions of how this life was supposed to be
Choke me into Another Year
Unrelenting Regrets heave against
my motivation
Cornering my Resolutions like a trapped animal
Struggling to survive my Intentions gasp for air
Cringing at my Decisions
My Desperation realizes
It is the victim of my Humanity
Soaring from the past old fears of some Insanity
A Coldness from the longest of winters
Touches my Soul with its fingertip
Impossible Conclusions draw tears upon my hope
Fighting Endlessly to lose the battle…the games go on
Survival is a must though its Reasons are scarce
Love is alive though its Innocence is dead
The game plan is a void of Worthless Opportunities
My body is a void of Useless Emotions
My Destiny suffers here on the battlefield
Mable relishes to read
She enjoys the mysteries
As few chapters are read
Every evening the same
The pages are so exciting
There is a lot of action
A real page turner
It keeps her interested
Her eyes get heavy
They are slowly closing
She wants to stay awake
Only to lose the battle
Then drifts into a sleep
Instead of reading
