Best Overcame Poems


Overcame to feel

Have you ever felt bombarded by yourself, like you can’t help but keep inundating your brains cell with messages that no longer serve you well. Sadly it’s this path you in the past paved, whose entrance and exit still lead to and from hell. It's obvious there are parts of you that you have lost within one of those past versions of yourself. Recently I genuinely feel like Jack and Jill, like I’m falling down an endless hill. Passing all the hurdles I previously overcame while climbing up life’s hill. It’s always an emotional roller coaster, when you take a step back and look down at the sharp turns and loops life has had. I’m just supposed to shut up and sit back. Just be still and zip past without evidence of the goals I reached, limits I surpassed. That ride is evident there was nothing decent in those versions of me I played in the past. Still just expecting the next lead, while I understudy me, the main role for the next cast. Which coincidentally is written and directed by yours truly. The amount of non existing acts I often incorrectly predict, should be a tell tale sign of all of it. I am bombarded, but I am also the cause of it. Accountability is the obligation to accept responsibility. I am accountable for the construction and repairs, but will that start the mend of all the old tracks in there? This is where good ol faith needs to be your best friend, even if it's a challenging mindset to befriend. It takes trials in the past that you overcame, to give you strength and courage in moments of possible future disdain. So thank you for flooding my past paths way. For forcing me to start a new course with more possibilities that outpour positivity within this new brains channel wave.

Overcame

life HAD ITS TROUBLES
Some made me tumble
But they weren't able
to make your love go away from me-it was stable

Temptation was everywhere
Even in the clothe i wear
But your love was rear
So temptations-i had to bear

See o met the lady of my dreams
So sweet it seems
But she wasn't my reality
You where all i wanted,not a faint fantasy

I had choices and options
Temptations i can't even mention
But my lady i overcame
Each and everyone that came my way-i overcame

Overcame It All

Sometimes the sunshine needs to go so the rain can fall
Sometimes things need to fall apart in order to come together
You have to go through the worst days to appreciate the better
I wasn't supposed to make it this far but I overcame it all

I've had a lot of bad moments, but I've had good times too
The thing about love is you can't find it, Love finds you
As soon as the wound heals, put all the bad blood behind you
I'm no longer moving mountains for people, because people want to tell you which you should climb to

This girl didn't want me, because i wasn't popular
But now I'm in a better place, she wants to cuff me like an officer
She's sending me nudes like she's trying to become a Photographer 
I delete them all and i'm thankful for the chance I never got with her

I don't want a shallow minded girl who only wants me at certain times
I learnt at a young age a lot of girls  know how to work your mind
As I got older I realised not every girl is worth my time
I came from a dark place, so only a small few deserve my shine

Let's step away from love for a moment and talk about real life
Depression is the main reason I still fight
I refuse to be in a battle and not win
I'll either die or be victorious, but losing isn't an option

They kicked me while I was down, and I got up laughing
Just because I don't hold grudges, doesn't mean I've forgot your actions
They saw the damage was done and didn't expect me to repair
Until I popped up, and showed them I'm Still here

Parents didn't want me so they put me in foster care
They let me go without food as long as they had a Vodka there
I made it this far without the guidance of my parents
So now I'm careful with who I offer my love and caring

Sometimes the sunshine needs to go so the rain can fall
Sometimes things need to fall apart in order to come together
You have to go through the worst days to appreciate the better
I wasn't supposed to make it this far but I overcame it all

Overcame Everything

 
I Feel so Stupid to give you my all,
I Wish there was something to cushion my fall

I couldn't wait to get back on my feet,
But I was constantly brought down by the thoughts of deceit

You always held me back like a tack in my shoe, 
Today I'm so up ahead, I can't even see you.

World Obstacles Overcame

In Jesus name
Bright futures ahead
As proper direction was led
Reminiscing through the past
You have found many images
That have made us laugh
Greater strength found thee
You made friends of your enemies
No hill was too high
No river was too shallow
God has conquered our tomorrow
Tears of joy
You shall all enjoy
Praise the Lord
He has pushed us forward

Premium Member Curiosity Overcame Me

As An "Excuse:"
     'Normal'--
I Found It Laying
Where "No Excuse
Is Enough..." Resides(?)

Not "Resident," Actually...
But A Crumb-Bum, A Scoff-Law...
You Know, "The Guest Who Just
Makes Himself At Home..."
Like Burrows In, Makes A Nest
Wherever He's At... There, That
SPOT. Room At The Inn...
Without The Excuse.
Because No Excuse Enough...

It's Not PRIDE! It Isn’t 
Normal.

Just Out Of Curiosity,
Hmmm.

Hummingbird.
