Best Painme Poems


Double Standards

The expectations given to me I 
have not met
Unlike others I can't always 
forgive and forget
Like the time you said whole 
heap of lies to me
And you wonder why I have an 
issue with honesty
I haven't quite met up to your 
dreams
But all that glitters is not as it 
seems
Like the time you made me feel 
so unworthy
All those times I cried out, I 
suppose you never heard me
You never understand until you 
experience the same
Then suddenly it becomes 
acceptable-you sound so lame
Like the time when I became 
lost in the crowd
But to air my concerns, 
somehow it's not allowed
But lo and behold if you was to 
feel lost too
You expect a fuss and to be 
molly cuddled too
Like the time I explained my 
true fears
Why ask if you don't like what 
you hear
Like the time when you said 
you're always here for me
Hello.........I'm still waiting for 
your company
Maybe I'm looking at the glass 
half empty
As the things said don't 
manifest to be
Could I be too analytical so that 
I don't understand?
Like the joker in a pack you've 
dealt me your hand

Happiness Forsaken

It's a pain that is oh so familiar to 
me now. The emptiness, it's no 
surprise. It comes on so suddenly. 
So high then low in a simple 
glimpse. There is no warning. It 
catches me when I'm weak. Rapes 
my mind, and leaves me oblivious to 
my well being. There is no cure. I 
have grown to believe it. My heart, it 
hurts and my eyes are burning. I 
blink and they all fall. My tears 
staining. I've hit an all time low, and 
I don't know how to reverse it. My 
brain is aching. Too much at once. 
My body can take so much. I'm at 
an overload. I don't know my own 
thoughts. There are too many. My 
feelings are unknown. God please 
reveal them to me, and relieve me 
before I break down. Bring the war 
in my heart at peace. I pray to you 
but it is like i am unheard. Where is 
my strength. I am overwhelmed with 
sorrow. I just want to be happy.

Pain Wrote a Note I Had To Quote

I am the custodian of your 
golden grain,
without me everyone's life 
will be in vain.
You have me in full me 
during child labour,
but alas, you take delivery 
of a favour!

I come for a season and I 
have a reason,
wisdom makes you learn 
from me a lesson.
You can't escape me when 
I come closer...
But it is your choice to be a 
learner or a loser.

The feeble minded hold 
unto me and frown,
the strong let go the cross 
and get the crown.
You can contact me from 
friends and foes
I stay longer if you pay 
focus on life's woes.

Do not make out with me 
or I will marry you,
I am just a passer-by... with 
a timely glue.
You can't hide but you can 
run for your life,
it's your choice to stay in 
sorrows and strife.

I am that crazy guest that 
likes to stay longer,
...that lousy pest, always 
growing stronger
sell yourself to me, I will 
make you cheaper,
do not swim in me, or you 
will go...deeper.
