Best Mike Tyson Poems
Once the smoke clears I'll overcome the burns
The grass isn't always greener, the sky is sometimes grey and dark instead of blue
Sometimes you need to take a step back to really see what's ahead of you
I feel like Mike Tyson on fight night because I'm ready to take on the world
I've had the world on my shoulders for a while and it's been heavy
But I've got my boxing gloves on now and I'm ready
I'm getting back up and battling back
Everyone gets knocked down, but warriors and champions always find a way to last
Every mistake is a lesson don't disregard the signs
I believe love is real, just hard to find
Or maybe we're so blinded by past pains we refuse to admit we see it
I can't be the person who gives up on a jigsaw, I'll find the missing pieces
Depression is real, but the thoughts it makes you feel shouldn't be
I'll win this fight even if it means I have to get blood on me
I won't lie the fight with Depression is the toughest battle I've been in
I'd rather stand alone and have to go against ten men
I'm still scarred by some of the thoughts it put into my head
I attacked depression with a knife once, but it was me who bled
I think about things that make me smile when it tries to take me to scary places
I have to find some inner strength on the days where I can barely face it
I used to say sorry, but never again will I apologise for being emotional or saying how I feel
I'll let my scars bleed until I find a way to heal
I've grown because of all the stepping stones that I stood on
Depression doesn't stand a chance now I've put my boxing gloves on
Controversial boxing legend with a distinctive lisp, "Iron Mike" Tyson.
The sheer impact of his punch? Probably like being rammed by a Bison.
Ex-convict/former bad boy; paid his debt to society without exemption.
Came out of prison, got boxing license back, took road to redemption.

he grew up in the city of hard knocks
running wild avoiding dirty cops
BROOKLYN is his home and the ghetto is where he roamed
from a child he always was a fighter
only when he got older did he become a biter
he got into trouble so many times
finally he got locked up for his crimes
he started boxing to relieve his stress
eventually becoming one of the best
his relationship with robyn was touch and go
could of been a reality show
he was abusive and hit her alot
she finally called the cops and he got caught
that wasnt the end he went through more
committing a rape behind closed doors
he did his time and was released
came home a natural born beast
through the years he tattooed the left side of his face
marking his territory and showing his place
he was granted permission to box out the country
that was when it hasppened on live t.v
he had some kids in between his bids
went from rich to poor thats what he did
today i heard the saddest news
his four year old daughter is on life support
we are no judge in a high ranking court
let him be in peace cause life is short
BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS TO YOU "IRON MIKE TYSON"
I watched Mike Tyson fight
At 58 was no delight sight
But respect to him
For going to the gym
I guess the money was right
On a Hot Day at the end of June in 1966, A young Father and Mother Gave Birth to a Beautiful Bouncing Baby Boy.
The Young Boy would have to Grow Quickly, for The Streets of Brooklyn is No Joke.
The Boys on the Corner would teach you to Steal, Curse and Earn your Keep.
In The Brownsville of that Era children learnt quickly how to Merely survive.
'Kid Dynamite' was the Talk of the Town, Knockin' them on their Backs All Day Long.
Though Juve' is where you Would Earn Your Stripes.
In and Out of the System is No College or University to Properly Develop a Young Mind, but those are the Cards You were Dealt.
Though The System was Hard, while there you Met Bobby Stewart, who Introduced you to Cus' D'Amato, and Your Life Would Never Be The Same.
Under Cus' Wing You Learned the Art of Boxing, and to Become a Man.
Though They Called you 'Iron Mike', Your Heart always seemed tender, helping Opponents off of the Canvas or Mat.
The Numbers Will Forever Tell Part of Your Legacy, 50 Wins, 44 KO's, 6 Losses, and 2 No Contests.
For You are One of the Greatest of Any Error, Perhaps Second Only to Ali.
Your Life is Still Young, You Have Given Soooooooo Much.
I Just Wanted to Say Thank You.
Sincerely
One of Your Many Fans Around the World.

Every rhyme I write hits harder than a punch from Mike Tyson
If depression kills me, then just know I'll die fighting
Even if I have a weak moment and spend the night crying
I'll come back out fighting like I'm Mike Tyson
Depression was supposed to beat me easily, but its now a lion fight
Little did depression know, it was going toe to toe with the new Iron Mike
We battle daily, fists flying at night
Made my own bed, which I'm currently lying inside
I've got wounds and scars, there's been blood spilled
Kicked while I was down and dragged through mud fields
Been heartbroken and hurt, love kills
So now every night I'm in the club meeting new girls for a good thrill
I'm a good man with some bad traits
Trying my best to overcome my past ways
Anyone who goes against me is living their last days
Anyone who bets against me, must love giving their cash away
I've got back up from every punch depression strikes
For every mistake I make, a new lesson arrives
My inner strength can't be matched
I'm Mike Tyson when I knock my obstacles down on the mat
Every rhyme I write hits harder than a punch from Mike Tyson
If depression kills me, then just know I'll die fighting
Even if I have a weak moment and spend the night crying
I'll bounce back, because I'm the new Mike Tyson
outside his window they hover over
through gallows of granduer to endure
great wisdom comes from above given to him
through temples of fire long lines alone
Tyson was used to providing
learn to take each new day in perspective
never let them leave you second guessing
I must clearly confess
The birdman was a dreamer
a no it all talker falling apart at the seams
a closet king in a world so very mean
destined for soaring heights tonight in flight
there was a lesson to be learned
the birdman goes for a watch
chooses it’s greatest need watch as some may bleed
out of every circumstance learn to take part in the dance
super sized surprise through it’s twisted lines
look deep within my friend
columns of piers we shed a single tear
for all to draw ever nearer
