Best Rationalise Poems

Pleasure To Be Here! 

I am here at PoetrySoup because I had no voice, 
No expression of what was internal and inside; 
I used to as a child, three, four, and even two, 
Write poems, rhymes to myself inside my head. 

I hated my mum...

Rationalisation of Explanation


Do not question
The almighty plan
For such are the reprisals of fear
That turn blind despair into adulation 

The evident proof
Existent in raped women and children
Irrefutable in famished stomachs
Undisguised in all the suffering

Hangs stark and uncompromising
Humanity through centuries of historical brutality
Has treated us with its...

Doubtful at times, an optimist by nature,
Proud of these times yet disappointment is never a stranger,
The tears that left my eyes mellowed the laughters that burst me into life,
The wrongs I did, corrected my survival to thrive,

Those screams left me out of breath,
Emptied my chest...

Those Irrational numbers used in maths, 
They lead to understanding what's real,
Those numbers rationalise all that we make, 
Like building a perfectly round wheel,

With pi and e and the Golden ratio, 
And of course the square root of two, 
We can now create everything, 
Though...

Anger sets in, deep in the mind.
Amygdala fires up, logic becomes blind.
Tightness of chest, muscles tensing, preparing for fight or flight.
Anger sets in, deep in the mind.

Thoughts crash and topple trying to find.
Scrambling to make sense, to rationalise!
Eyes widen, jaw stiffens as adrenaline flies!
Anger sets...

We must take courage to look at, can, 
That dirge and the tragedy of Hiroshima, 
To conclude and rationalise if we can, 
That throbbing, deathly, vile panorama.

We did it, we conceived of it, 
We intentioned that statement said, 
So let that blood statement ourselves hit,...

*This poem is based on Type One Diabetes Mellitus, which I have had for 14 years. A
hyperglycaemic attack is when there is far too much sugar in your blood, and it causes
symptoms such as: Dehydration, erratic mood swings as well as intensified emotions,

Caught between what I want 
and what I can never be: 
an animal caged 
whilst dreaming of the Serengeti. 
A letter addressed, 
under-funded, undelivered, 
never to reach its destiny. 

As a child, naïve, blinkered. 
Life was simple, 
so easy to comprehend. 
Youthful arrogance 
my foremost...

Close your eyes, breathe in and feel 
What your senses experience, what is real 
Sight alone can miss what is there 
Sometimes you don’t see…even through a stare

Then there are sounds that conjure a vision 
But those alone may cause confusion 
Maybe a smell that’s...

my depression is like trying to live whilst dead,
 its like a barrier holding me down to my bed, 
sometimes I think I might as well be blind because everything seems like a blur in my mind ,
 it always makes me feel like a...

Some people make me smile

Some people have a heart of gold

You can always tell who they are

It doesn't matter how poor, how pretty or how old 

Without these people the world would be a worthless place

You know such people, you know their face

We all try...

The process is easy, theory simple, action not complex at all

You tense a muscle, physics follows law and chemistry combines

The reality, as so often, is different

Your eyes blink in salt, your heart pounds, your lungs heave

Seems the biological part of the equation also causes a...

Brooding Nimbus


           Whirling in vortex of complexity.
               Perplexed mind floating in confusion.

The storm that’s raging inside my head,
Makes me want to stay in bed.
I want to stay there day and night,
I see the tunnel but not the light.

It’s completely exhausting, and a drain,
To rationalise what’s going on in my brain.
So many thoughts that overwhelm me,
I wish...

As it is where do we stand in the face of fear? Fear for a child, a parent, a loved one or a peer!

How do we rationalise the chances we take? A soldier may die in the experience he or she makes. But, that’s what...
