Best Mope Around Poems
Your relationship is through
Don't ever want to see him
Your heart is broken in a million pieces
The light on your world has gone dim
The funny part about your situation
I envy what you're going through
With what I went through with my first love
I'll never have the decisions you do.
You can start it all over
But this time be no more than friends
You can choose to call him tomorrow
Or make the choice to never see him again.
I don't have the choice to see him
Not until my days on Earth here are done
His love, his touch, his voice, his kiss
Are all stored in memories of our laughter and our fun.
I never really got my ending
I'll never know if we'd break up, or if it'd last.
I'll never have that closure you received
I'll never be able to willingly put him in my past.
So as you cry and mope around,
My sympathy will still be with you.
However the closure you received with him,
To get that with my first love, there isn't anything I wouldn't do.

Verse
I live an average kind of life
And do all that I can
I'm not one to sit and mope around
Just waitin' on a man
I love to travel near and far
By airplane, truck or van
It's definitely more delightful then
Just waitin' on a man
Some girls, they drive their sporty cars
And try to be so tan
But some look like an orange dorito
Just waitin' on a man
I'd rather be and 'odd' girl
Then just blow with the fan
To be unique and make a difference
Not just waitin' on a man
But you know some day I'd like to
Find a good one if I can
So I suppose you could really say
I'm just waitin' on a man
But while I'm waitin' I want to become
The very best that I can
So I'll be who I'm meant to be
Just waitin' on a man

You are my Valentine
You look like Frankenstein
You smell like turpentine
Your lips like iodine
You wear size twenty-nine
You mope around and whine
But I like you mighty fine
You're all I've got ~ You're mine!

Light Verse
My grandma taught me new meanings of “spoon” and “moon.”
Grandpa and she, as teens, would cuddle and kiss (spoon).
Apart, they’d mope around idly (moon), almost swoon!

Eyes
That sketch the tunes that the pirates play
And as gypsies dance as the sun goes down
They rise
Eyes
That keep the robes as soldiers fight
Then fight against the misty haze
But fearless as the jackal hound
Barks at the night as the sun goes down
They rise
But the stars of light with tears profound
They shed their light when the sun goes down
Eyes
That pick the bones that the eagles prey
And as bats in the field as the sun goes down
They rise
Eyes
That plot the tombs where prophets bled
Then mope around with demon craze
Seized by devils with eerie sound
That haunts the dead as the sun goes down
They rise
But the stars of light with tear profound
They shed their light when the sun goes down
Eyes
That sow the fields that the potters pay
And as mobs in the dark as the sun goes down
They rise
Eyes
That wet their tongues their egos fed
Then singe their souls with mocking praise
And dub him king though rightly crowned
And pierce his head as the sun goes down
They rise
But the stars of light with tears profound
They shed their light when the sun goes down
Eyes
That tread the path that the pilot lay
And as seed in the earth as the sun goes down
It dies
Eyes
That caught the scene no wholesome sight
Then glanced his stare his awesome gaze
But though he faint yet onward bound
Lifted up that night when the sun went down
He dies
But the stars of light with tears profound
They fled that night when the sun went down

Do I like to receive 'em?
You better believe it!
A day without accolades
I couldn't conceive it
I mope around moaning
My head hanging down
I feel like Eeyore
Wearing a frown
But sure as shootin'
Someone sends me cheer
And I'm once again grinning
From ear to ear
For the rest of the day
I'm floating on air
Nothing can depress me
No worries no cares
If you'd like to contribute
To my mental wellbeing
Send me some happy
My face will be beaming

another day i sing the blues
ever sence i heard the news
and i can cry so easily
it seems that crying pleases me
another day i'll mope around
hang my head down to the ground
wait for time to heal whats stuck
try to get over it with some luck
another day i'll spend missing
all my lovin and my kissin
close my eyes and see your face
no one will ever take your place

I've come to a... realization
That everything will shatter
That is unless you... train yourself to
Let go of everything dear to your
So no longer will I... sit and mope around
Strength will be my driving force
And so I will just... proceed normally
Like nothing were happening now
I whink it is time that I tell you
My darling that I love you!
However, I can't... remain too much
Into you if... I'm to suceed!
So this will be goodbye, my love!
If I don't let go of you now, I never will!
I'm only training myself to move on
Without having to worry about you...
Though I may be... rather miserable
At the moment, it doesn't phase me
For I know a fact... that remains true
People will come and people will go
Putting that into mind... I feel rather
Stronger and able to operate alone
So I suggest that... you let go as well
If you want to preserve your happiness
However, know that this will remain true
That I will always love you!
But I have to... let you go
So this is my... goodbye to you!
So train yourself to let go, my love!
For you don't want to be disappointed!
I know that you may love me now
But it won't do much for you...
Always know that this fact will remain true
My love, I will always love you!
However, I have... to let you go
If I'm to be... fully happy!
So this will be goodbye, my love!
If I don't let go of you now, I never will!
I'm only training myself to move on
Without having to worry about you...
So train yourself to let go, my love!
For you don't want to be disappointed!
I know that you may love me now
But it won't do much for you...
I am saying goodbye, my love!
No more! You must let go of me!
Only pain and turmoil will follow
You till you finally let go...
Now you must forget me, my love!
If you don't, you will only suffer more!
I'm trying to save you from the
Pain that I once had to go through...

I used to be so vain, mope around sit and complain.
I used to be conceited, loved to love this world.
Inside I was slowly dying, my heart filled with a void.
Then you called me to your mercy, I never thought myself worthy.
To you Allah I pray, each and everyday.
I'm filled with so much joy, my heart is so much happier.
You called me to your mercy, thankyou my dear Lord.
My goals in life have changed, I feel pure like honey.
I smile at your names, my life is now complete.
I'll never be that way again (InshAllah)

Feeling sad?
Well that's too bad,
But why mope around in a dark blue funk?
Don’t let life’s trouble
Burst your bubble.
Why waste your time on all that junk?
Now, life might have you in the pits,
But it's not time to call it quits.
Don't let those dark thoughts clutter up your mind.
Come on now, let's meditate
On things that cheer and elevate,
And leave the morose, gloomy things behind.
A great big laugh
On your behalf
Might drive the gloomy mist away.
And a toothy grin
Above your chin
Could brighten someone else’s day.
A chuckle might forestall
The family doctor’s call,
And, maybe, even shoo away the nurse.
Some stuff and nonsense matter
Could make the day go better,
And, I guarantee, it will not make it worse.

At first there wasn't anything
To come between your heart and mine
We had big smiles on our face
We were so happy all the time
But gradually our love would fade
We just did not see eye to eye
Partly because I'm Six Foot Eight
And you are just Four Foot Five
Though I'm not one to mope around
There's something I need off my chest
I'll not say my heart is broken
But it is badly squashed, I guess
When all of sudden you left me
For some young clown, is what they say
I knew that it must be the one
You met at our circus that day!
While I'm up there on my tight rope
Silhouetted against a sky blue
You will still be in my squashed heart
But I'll not be falling for you!

Mope around,
Quietly, quietly.
Don't make a sound,
Until you do.
Unexpected,
Scares me.
Look up,
Eyes kind and innocent.
Soft and pristine,
Light, quick.
Unaware of the worlds hate.
Soft purr,
A gentle song to sleep.
Kitty,
Why are you so lovely.

Stress is a fact of life: new beginnings, vanished resources, and unexpected endings.
Despair debilitates; destroys one’s delight without warning, woeful worries gripping.
Ask…shall I mope around mulling over my ills or shall I let God’s light within me shine?
Pondering problems produces a peculiar predicament; the pendulum dangles dangerously.
Worrying makes a brain wrench and reel until merriment withers and hope shrinks.
Reality becomes woeful; revelation remote, dreams remember not precious pearls.
Chasing one’s sorrows rejects today’s cheerfulness and drags the soul into the mire.
Mismanaged stress sulks in sorrow; muses on misfortune; invites malady.
Oh pearl of wisdom, choose thy thinking; invite God’s loving light to brighten.
Deliberately disconnect despairing deliberations from today’s diary; develop dreams.
One ounce of faith obligates God to obliterate darkness of self-odium and illuminate life.
Deliberately manage the direction of thy musing; delight thyself in thy choosing.
Joy thrives in God’s light when stress strikes the soul to suffocate.
So, let not your heart be hollow. Hallow the Lord, thy God with wisdom’s choice.
Be lifted up out of dark despair by purposefully holding happy thoughts…
Joyful thinking, stress or laughter...the choice is yours. So, choose wisely?

Because of you
Heart that once broken can finally mend
Because of you
Glorious joy in me can finally trend
Because of you
I felt everlasting love in my soul
Because of you
Lonely heart bounce and dance on hymn
Because of you
No need to mope around anymore
You gave me strength and unshackle my dismal
My love for you is so pure
Nothing more could I declare for
For this ecstasy love I find and endless bliss
You are my best friend and my confidante
I love you with certainty and honesty
And because of you am so gleefully.
