Best Prepared For The Worst Poems


Unwavering Hope
I pray I have bravery
I pray I have positivity
I need an optimistic state of mind
I want to be His kind and be kind
Have zealous, marvelous anticipation 

I want us both to have unwavering hope

Let’s be prepared for the worst 
Be prepared to come to Him...

Premium Member From Wren's They Came
The Head Line News read, Houston under Martial Law,
Stay indoors, do not panic, and do not go out, under any
Cause!
I’m not sure from wrens’ they came, at first it was just
The rain, not the regular storm, or hurricane, but the
Apocalyptic drama of Noah and the...

Two Worlds Colliding
Turning to the sky
Something Unfamiliar
Winds brought them over

Friends ran, some greeted
But I prepared for the worst 
In end, I was right

Two Worlds Colliding
L-Up...

Will Daddy Be Home For Christmas
Dear diary,
Earlier I asked Mommy when Daddy would return,
And she simply smiled, "Soon, Little Bird."
But when I left the room, I could hear Mommy crying,
Then fell to her knees and prayed to the higher world.

No one will tell me why Daddy hasn't come back yet,
Won't...

Coffee
It’s what gets me up in the morning
It motivates me every day
Coffee
A normal person might say my dog
Or having to use the bathroom
Okay, a sad normal person would say that
Some things should just be legalized
Like letting me marry coffee
It makes me a morning person
Coffee puts...

Premium Member Don'T Let the Dog Get Out
There is one thing certain without a doubt.
You must never let the dog get out.
You should be aware of his propensity to fight.
If he gets outside, things will not be right.

The dog displays a large amount of courage.
However, it is his scrapping you must discourage.
Remember...

The eyes would rather not engage the world.
Cotton mouth, parched, and aware of a thirst.
The muscles, lobbying to remain curled.
Feet swing to the floor, prepared for the worst.

Stiffness escapes in most audible groans.
Shuffling, a zombie, a gruesome undead.
Articulating two hundred plus bones
Fills the old body...

Clouds
These clouds above my head
Thick, dark, yet weightless
Daily reminders and warnings
that we should always be prepared for the worst
Clouds
You act as an umbrella over the Earth
Shading us from deadly rays
Yet you pour on and dispirit me
 The Sun resigns for a while
and clouds take its...

Imperfect Perfection
Helmet of Love,
Gloves of Apprehension,
Breastplate of Morality,
Sword of discontent,

We as a people are prepared for the worst,
But unprepared for the best,
Percieved as perfect,
But we, Perfectly flawed......

Willing To Change
I don't care what people say,
I stood behind you anyway,
I knew that things were gonna change,
I wish you didn't attack my faith,
And when you were breathing down my neck,
I knew you would put me to the test,
But I was already prepared for the worst,
And I...

Introspection
I I write because I’m aware of the fact 
I’m losing time
I’m Struggling to gain insight 
In a world that’s blind
Outlining the blueprint 
that’s stuck in my mind
Acting with a reason
And intention to rhyme
An intention to shine
Becoming a light so bright 
In the crystal of...

Out of your life this time
And only so I'll see you smile

But bewteen us all things are flawless

The morning will come
As we both may haev wished
With your head upon my chest
And I will...

Again, I Pray
Sleeping in sorrow’s lullaby...can’t lie
Sweet slumber is only tomorrow’s cry
Can’t deny, I prayed a thousand times
I can only try to make up these rhymes

Again, I pray away the past pain
Again, I pray away the shy rain
That drizzles in lonely vibes of you, you, you
That truly...
