Best Proceed Poems


Proceed To Live

Consistent in your hopelessness,
   Confused about your uselessness,
       Condemned into your ruthlessness,
            I pray I find my fearlessness,
               Untamed and wild you broke me down,
                   Truth... “What goes around comes around.”

                                    Astounded from your dirty lies,
                            I've wiped away my crying eyes,
                  Learning of your contained disguise,
         All the wonders of what's and why's,
    Alone at night because of you,
I blame myself that we are through.

Believing in your confidence,
    You rail my false incompetence,
         You fed off my nonexistence,
             No need for my own assistance,
                   Controlling my sad sanity,
                        By your indignant vanity.

                                 I lay in bed...what should I do?
                            Explaining why he is untrue,
                       I hear what I already knew,
               My heart undone and misconstrued,
       I sleep again and will forgive,
For him I shall proceed to live.

A Ship Not a Poem Proceed With Caution

Sometimes I feel like a ship.
A big empty ship, torn sails,
all messed up from crashing myself into rocks and other crap.
Meanwhile, while I'm out weathering this stormy sea all alone all the other ships at the harbor just sailing around with their beautiful perfect sails, and fresh paint, and usually a captain who would make Fabio jealous!
They sail around with their captain and crew on deck.
Yet here I am, oh don't mind me, I'm just here for when you need someone to tow your ship back to the harbor when yal have had to much......salt water!
Or you need to borrow something.......you want to use my anchor fine, use it,
I hope you anchor somewhere desolate, where mad men live, they commandeer you, torture you in some random act of barbarianism, somewhere lost at sea, attacked by evil pirates with bad breath and one eye Kirk just stares at you the whole time!
Even if that did happen not sure I'd feel any better I'd still be out here in this big ocean trying to find my way to a nice quiet harbor somewhere far away from the others, pretty sure I'd get tired of them shooting off their loud a** cannons all the time,
showing off how 'rad' they are * in my frat boy voice*
What if I need a crew sometimes maybe my anchor gets stuck and I need help?
They would just let me sink, fine, go ahead,
but someday I will shoot off my cannons and well...not sure how the harbor will be after that!

Proceed If You Dare

We charge into battle,
Everyone side by side,
Prepared for inevitability,
Through the course of the ride,

We'll get cut, we'll get hit,
We'll get smacked around often,
While our critics and enemies,
Pray that we soften,

Our most secret of weapons,
They cannot detect,
They can't buy it or steal it,
Or, for themselves, resurrect,

It's knowing, for certain,
That we will prevail,
Knowing how to succeed,
Knowing how not to fail,

Our relevant outcome,
We cannot predict,
The time, place or nature,
The fate that we picked,

You choose a direction,
And follow it through,
Use all of the power,
That's inside of you,

If this becomes habit,
A worthy addiction,
Dreams turn into life,
From mere interesting fiction,

Some call it hot air,
Or simple lip service,
From unknown results,
That make you so nervous,

Precisely, my point,
If you can't control,
Anyone or anything,
Except for your soul,

The power of one,
When squared or when cubed,
Remains just the same,
One less than two,

But add to it slowly,
No multiplication,
Your singular voice,
Has mass replication,

So, bring on the battle,
There's strength in our lot,
Enough to defeat,
The fear that we fought,

The battle is over,
And we remain standing,
Our feet have absorbed,
The force of the landing,

Our win is subjective,
To what was at stake,
Our real intentions,
Or those we forsake,

Did we attempt,
Did we progress,
Was thinking and action,
Used under duress,

What more can we ask,
But response-ability,
Set goals and plans,
Build its facility,

Push ahead, gather,
Supplies for the journey,
Including first aid,
And a one-size-fits-all gurney,

So, here is my hand,
Please take it somehow,
My other I need,
To wipe sweat from my brow,

Because one thing is clear,
Despite smoke in the air,
We'll win going away,
Proceed if you dare.

Herculean We Need,Achievement Proceed

In this life,one has to choose the best we need not the best he wants. He needs to read between the line and walk with time. Like they said,"A very moment is a chance." Truely,life is not by chance but by fate. Live your life like everyday is last and make that day a history. 

Lightup,Herculean we need,achievement proceed.

Time shall come,when that day will be immemorial and your children's children,will not forget it. The best will always come at last. The last is your result. The end justifies the means. Your past may not be good enough,don't let it be a burden,cause tomorrow may see us better. As the sun shines and gives life to the trees,flowers and leaves of the earth. 

Light up,Herculean we need,achievement proceed. 


Far comes the destiny,what can we do with the one's near. In the kitchen come's the chimney,what about the heaven's cloud clear? I speak with one voice,it sounds different to so many ears. To some,it looks like noise,cause that lies their fears. Promises lies in the lips of some,all we get is just but none. So fast grows the trees of corn,when cut down,the life is all gone. 

Light up,Herculean we need,achievement proceed.

Must Proceed

Thinking of you always
			   when
Every second interludes 
A past a future when always we
are interrupted by a bitter sweet mention
Of you my love why do we question
all rhetorical for you, for me
love baits good interludes 
the all agonizing ecstasy 
can not dissipate a week a year
for love is longer than our time
				     abstractly
while life is short as bread
	love
		increased?
			       deceased?
why in love do we feast
on the bitter tears we are fed	
to find within a love long and true
though at times bare and brass
cowardly, does not recede
	godspeed,
		godspeed, 
			straight or bow kneed
					this love must proceed

How Do I Proceed

In this babel
I'm to find my feet

In this city of vice
I'm to live and learn

A land of pain,few gains
Still,they yearn for my best


My head held high
but how long can it rise?
My neck tweaks from the strain
Yet,it dares not drop

I'm caught in a raging storm
Again,i'm told to stand tall
but how did i jump?
from a thorny cliff to a stony sea

How do i remain unscathed?
All eyes on me now

My test beats my head
how do i proceed?

Oh mama nature
where hath thou placed me?

Premium Member Proceed With Caution

Happy Jack is back on track
Took a bit of a break, I did
Need one every now and then
Emotional like a kid

Wear my feelings on my sleeve
For the whole wide world to see
Not ashamed, it's who I am
It sets my emotions free

Considered myself a lucky man
To feel this burning desire
Nothing special, a regular dude
But deep down inside, a fire

Glowing brighter than ever before
Alerting me to love up ahead
Sign says, “Proceed With Caution”
Chose to ignore it instead

Steam ahead, to hell with caution
Never find love if you hide
Be brave, plunge headlong into love
Go ahead and give it a try

Happy Jack is back on track
Took a bit of a break herewith
Everyone please just rest assured
The giggles will return forthwith

Proceed With Caution

In webs of worry, and in needless hurry
I exhume a wound twice times buried
Deep within my sorrowful Heart
Two Lovers joined, then torn apart
Will we love again, will we love once more?
Or ache again lost Lovers' sores?
Oh, that burning pain I cannot endure-
I would not survive, of this I am sure

Finely Proceed To Succeed

When you want to achieve a great goal
Do not think that achieving is impossible
Such an attitude will make you damn weak
Believe that you can earn victory surely

Take all those relevant measures positively
And keep a record of all your great efforts
Chalk out a plan to fulfill your golden mission
Never bring a break to your sincere attempt

Do not convey that to everybody foolishly
As most of the people are not interested
They may even discourage you ignorantly
Analyze your skill and then you decide

If you feel that you can surely gain success
Plunge into the deal putting heart and soul
Have not a meek second-idea to dominate
Once you have firmly established your aim

Human beings are equally bestowed with skill
None is superior or great compared to another
Proceed ahead by exercising gifted intelligence
Reap rich rewards by deploying your genius.

Difficult To Proceed

Difficult to proceed.
Without motive we can't stand to lead.

Silence surrounds us and
were just not as strong as we 
once were.

Let me tell you the plan before
your feet reach the floor.
While your waiting,
here's another chore 
your built for.

Needs encouragement, embracing , loving living;

As I Usually Proceed

Rarely I unfold my heart
