Best Overrated Poems


Premium Member Ignorance Is Overrated
Some people take to Facebook
In an effort to create
A safe and pleasant habitat
Unfriending those who wish debate.
But still rile against a college chum
Who's not lost their winter weight.

We drone on about the weather
Far too often before we die.
Talking incessantly about our children
To those unfortunate to...

Bravery Is Overrated
Don't be too brave,
It might save,
you,
from you.

I'll tell you a story...


One day I woke up,
in a pile of ****,
literally,
but I wasn't surprised
not even a bit.

Fortunately, my home was away few miles,
people I was passing by, heh,
I've never seen so much smiles,
around me,
They were wondering; what...

Love Is Overrated
Love is overrated 
Misunderstood, miscalculated.
It is the morning mist,
A dew rested on the grass.
In the warmth, it ceases to exist.
with the heat of the sun, it's gone.
Love demands caring, 
Demands nourishment,
The constant attention of 5minus4 senses.
Love always dies slow,
Suffocating agony, a hard ignore.
Love is the...

Overrated
I can't afford to flinch 
in the presence of adversity 
gotta remove any negativity 
and I mean that literally, surgically 
letting go of what's been disturbing me 
before it kills me or makes 
me lose my mind 
it's clutch time 
There's an audience watching 
to...

Family Is Overrated!
Headin’ back home
I don’t know what to think
I want to roam but
"I disagree," says my shrink

What does he know anyway?
And why does he want me to stay?
Family is overrated!
Family makes life no fun!
My family is too outdated!
My family makes me want to run!

Walkin’ through the...

Get a Grip - Love Is So Overrated
He threw away…he threw away my friendship
I’m as sad as a lonesome goldfish in the bowl
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a grip, man…
I don’t know what…I don’t know what to think anymore
Without you opening me up, I’m a locked door
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a...

Overrated Sex
First off, let me start off with an open statement
 
Let's not be naive anymore, sex before marriage is OVERrated
 
Your flesh takes OVER ya spirit, but he already came OVER your house
 
and now after u gave OVER your goods, he already wants out

You will find structure is overrated
Producing humdrum routine most hated
Better to seek fun and love
And spirit rising above
Don’t let those local mores keep you weighted...

Doves Are Overrated
i need someone who’ll show me how it’s done:
how you take a heart and stay in love.

i need someone who won’t reap my soul and run;
a shakespeare who rather have a raven than a dove....

My Life Is Overrated
I am always understated
My parents make me frustrated
Boys are stupid
I am bad at being Cupid
I always end up with a jerk
Usually when I get my perks
I walk around with my sassy perks
Then a guy that said holla
I'm like ; you got a dolla
He's like why?
So...

The Overrated
From a Happening Bar 
Staggered into his car
And after forty miles 
Still rich in The Saved’s Smiles, 
As he foully staggered out…
Against huge hopes of a lout 
Of a crashing incident 
If not a killing accident…   

A character people hyped:
A wrong name on...

If ratings give meaning, symbolled with stars,
Then always keep on your ratings radar.

I’m trying to write my best poem by far,
Please rate it between a one and five star.

Lines as, ‘She brakes me as if I’m a car,
While my engine’s roaring like a jaguar!’

What, that’s...

Hatred Is Overrated
Whats with all the bull I've been hearing?
Whats with all the crap your spouting
To each other because of your viewpoints
Why you gotta be at each other's throats?
If you ask me-All this hate is bull!

One argues that he's right
The other argues he's wrong
They go back and...

Premium Member Victory Is Overrated
They call it a race,
but it feels more like a circus—
tightropes stretched over flames,
clowns tripping over their own pride,
while I, in my worn sneakers,
stroll past their delicate egos.

Let them shout.
Their speed is a gunshot—
all noise, no aim.
I’ve got the calm of a bassline,
the steady rhythm...
