Best Nervous Poems

Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
quick depression into slow anxiety.
Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
swallowing pity of yourself.
Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
cold heat shaking your bones.
Heres comes the nervous breakdown,
aching brain, twitching veins.
It's the nervous breakdown
with explosive results.

Nervous from this angry energy
Tendons tight and lungs held steady
Control is what I am
Control this seeping cold
Control this rising anxiety
One day soon this balloon shall pop
You won't want to be here when it does
So run
Run to somewhere that my pain can

©May, 2013


Her wedding day was drawing near.
She tried to hide her fear.
The more she tried,
The more she cried.
Would anxiety ever disappear?...

Looking at what she's cooking
I can't help myself...

It was with a heavy heart I left the house, choosing no make-up in anticipation of the tears I might cry.
Being faithfully spiritual, I know the only death is to the body, not to the soul, but this is a child’s funeral.
Even if he is...

A hippopotamus walked the tight rope
Wobbling to and fro he did grope
To find some balance as he peered beneath
The spectators looked like ants in their seats

He tried to convince himself he was not afraid
He counted to ten and then he made
A deal with himself that...

Your Beauty Makes Me Nervous

Your beauty makes me nervous in a very special way.
Speech grows deadly silent for forgetting what to say.
When your eyes meet mine my breath is wisped away.
Your charm holds me captive in dumbfounded display.

Your beauty make me shy in...

Makes Me Nervous
 
  The busiest highway runs
  as usual but alongside it
  pin drop silence of death
  spreads feathers at Chicken-stalls
  makes me nervous.

   The caged chickens were
   fasting , praying silently

I'm nervous and careless, I'm sad and mad.
It'll be what it will be.
Because it is what it is.
Nervous and careless, sad and mad.

My belly tight, it hurts real bad.
My heart beats fast, i feel it in my hand.
The loss in my eyes, like a deer...

Though Nervous...

Yours truly, quite dissimilar
to a woodlark,

i(r)onically positively charged
to forge covalent bond,

hence this stranger

with mine quark

key aura, charisma,
and karma acquired,
sans "FAKE" trumpeting

Mountain Daredevil, I feign

boasting as true mark
Putin on Ritz storyteller wannabe,

Pacing the room, waiting,
Stomach in a knot,
Deep breath in and out....

Nervous  Purvis, why so quirky?
I’m losin’ my hair and the future’s lookin’ murky

Nervous Purvis, why the twisted scowl?
No woody here, just a slim little dowel

Nervous Purvis, why can’t you score?
I’m wearin’ silly drawers and I eat off the floor

Nervous Purvis, why blame it on...

every day- wake up.
smoke before the thoughts of you wake up.
drink my coffee on the couch.
pour an extra cup for you.
end up drinking both- i am wired.
 
i have to stay so focused
on doing my own thing.
focus too hard and crumble.
 
i can still smell...

sit and listen to the quiet
it's outside the christmas norm
because now, when all is silent
it's the calm before the storm

the kids are upstairs sleeping
you're resting, sitting with a drink
in a few hours ...storms a brewing
it'll push you to the brink

the kids are up and yelling
paper...
