Best Overcoming Poems


Premium Member Overcoming Desperation
Desperation, draw me not like magnets pull
But once again let saneness possess me in full
Do not ravage me like a lion upon its prey
Block not the seeds of thoughts that come to save the day

Like limbs of a tree in the presence of a gale...

Premium Member OVERCOMING JANUS' FACED BEHAVIOUR
Attacked by Janus-faced complexity
My mind responds with functionality
To present either sheer timidity
Or self-entitlement tenacity.

Gripped with hypocrisy’s duplicity
I succumb to boastfulness-dignity
In striving for victorious verity
Achieving, though blown by futility.

Then, playing safe midst glad security
My conscience settles for “low” identity
Yet, that is not true in actuality
Since I’m...

A feeble excuse for a lack participation.

Overcoming Struggle
Overlook a lifetime past
Remember how it did not last
Life changes quickly before your eyes.
This so called reality surrounded by lies.
A sad thought it may seem
I do not want to open  my eyes to another dream.
Real reality set in.
Lets look forward and begin
I am in...

Overcoming Evil With Goodness
Overcoming Evil With Good...

"Do not be overcome by evil, 
 but overcome evil with good."
This verse from scripture
 is often misunderstood.

Many tend to "get back" at someone 
who's "wronged them."
Whether it be from a stranger... or even a friend.

You cannot fight evil with evil--
this isn't...

Overcoming Anxiety and Depression
My heart was a mess
I was in complete distress
but I laid those thoughts to rest
and now I'm trying my best
Holding on to the memories
but never looking for more than a moment at the past
For my eyes stay forward and leave the past at my back
Stay...

Premium Member Overcoming Sandstorms
O~n occasion, the mind accretes to, "the hurt," when facing
V~icissitudes; blinded by, "the better nature," causing to
E~fface the focus from the Architect while simultaneously
R~aising questions why. Impatience encourages the 
C~ollaboration of misery to consult with those of the same mind.
O~nly then to find temporary pleasure...

Overcoming the Temptation To Commit Sin
be not a receptacle to that spirit of sin
live by the word of God and be open to Him

in this day where the lines of morality have become blurred
where people believe and do all and anything that's absurd
caught up in the grasp of drugs and...

Premium Member Kintsukoroi
Kintsukuroi (KInt-soo-gi) is a Japanese art form…it is ancient…very old…it consists of repairing broken pottery with little bits of gold.

The idea is a simple one…innocent at it’s core
Where something that’s been broken can come back more beautiful than before.

It is a wonderful lesson…how something broken...

Precipice
I stand upon the precipice
Feet teeter on the ledge
A step away from peril 
My emotions on the edge
Look down into the valley
Search for signs of life
A light within the darkness
To end my lonely plight
But all I see is emptiness 
Stark and hollow ground
No sign of...
