Best Reset Poems


Premium Member Seasonal Reset

a leaf fell today
twirling as if the last dance
final disconnect

Reset

I found my reset button
If I only knew I had it at all
One moment, one instant
My identity I am all for

Resetting back to comforts levelling
The so hard to deal with things becomes easy
That once adrenaline for trembling
Becomes ever so desirable to once more see

How did I live never realizing for so long?
Or perhaps I need that finality to find a reset
And to look back did I see how far I have gone
Have I a future furthering a past unmet?

It was years to be young once again
Yet with age doesn't mean I'm old without youth
It's to be old and content that's a shame
It's to be old without content that should seduce
 
When too much led to the discovery for
Those moments found to this one unique instant
If I only knew I had it at all
I found my one hidden reset button

The Great Reset

An Orwellian world
A masked up girl

Tracking and tracing
This place we are facing

Just drones at your door step
With a needle to rep

Yet still the birds fly...

They will let you get high
But never ask why

The queen bee never cries
With no queries to lies

I can't breath with police knees 
On my neck

This pale blue speck
Will put us in check

With that you can bet

The great reset...


The God Reset

The God Reset

All Hail the mega-Temple brokers!
The Heavenly stock sellers
Chomping at the bit
Who parade in their Gucci suits
Escorting you comfortably
(like Kings)
Into “the Kingdom”come.
Beware: 
Its a counterfeit kingdom
Not the real deal.
(Love money, much?
 (Oh, but we won’t really actually tell you if we don't think you'd be a good “asset” in “our" Kingdom--)
They seem like they know something
You don’t know-- their words seem so godly,
Their knowledge of spiritual things so impressive-but then you hear them prognosticate:
“And did you know, 
A ‘powerful message’ can be yours if you only throw
 a few shekels our way today?”
(of course, they don’t exactly say it that way)
Coming straight from GD!
And advocate for a Kingdom that runs on cash.
They’ll happily seat you in
The First row, 
Sell you a religious show,
Put the God mirror out in front 
Of your sorry old face and sell
Repentance.
And then, when you repent, (properly and self-consciously)
they’ll grab you by the shoulders,
Hug you, and then ask you if you
Want to join the church...
“Looks like a Winner”, they silently intone, as you
Reach for your wallet.
Now they’ve sold you a 
False Christ.
And you weren’t even in on the deal!
You thought you were sincere!
You didn’t sign up for a 
Dead-end religion that would steal your
Joy, and maybe even your new-found love for GD-
You signed up for a 
New Life.
Beware of the status-quo christians,
The little”c” christians
The walking dead, 
Frozen Chosen
Lack of real emotion,
Preaching a gospel
Of “Cultural Churchianity”.
It’s not the real
thing-- the Christ-centered gospel that 
Calls for a clean heart, and a
Clear conscience--
A gospel that has nothing to do with 
The brand of your clothes, the number 
Of dollars in your Bank Account,
The car in your garage, or the paid-off mortgage!
Wake up,
Heaven Brokers!
Your “stock” is rapidly falling,
And Christ is getting tired of calling
Cuz you hung up your gD- phone long ago,
When you let greed and fame 
Consume your soul.

Reset Button

veins are craving 
like my soul needs saving
my emotions got me caving 
i just wanna be here waving 

on a wave like no other 
but please don’t tell my mother 
I hide behind a cover
while her daughter sits and suffers  

scared to call it an addiction
cause that’ll put me in a hard position
people will start giving me propositions
like my mind and self control will be in competition 

I realize we all out here addicted our vices 
all these different fixes be costing different prices 
the days pass and my tolerance rises 
chasing the high like I’m chasing grand prizes 

a grand prize that’s just a temporary reward 
one will last long just enough for my problems to be ignored 
other ways to be feel better, but those that haven’t explored 
need to press a reset button and get my
mind restored

get my head restored and revived 
cause I feel my inner self has been deprived
been down for a while, but no choice but to survive 
only going up from here , nothing else to do but thrive 

thrive in a new direction 
my flaws are to be corrected 
impossible to be perfected 
but In a place I can be tested

tested and improved 
the toxicity removed 
a better self who  I approve 
back to the grind  & get in my groove.

Premium Member Awaiting a World Reset

My world can be so exciting
grand, luxurious and full of adventure

My world can be so confusing
small, confined and so inertia


The open space, sea breeze and horizon ahead
floating away free

Amazed and yet so confused
in what so often feels like captivity


There are stars that guide me through the seas
and show me what floats ahead

It excites me and it drives me
but sometimes it leaves me full of dread


My home is so far away
worry there is not, for home is always there for me

Calm these waves that divert my ship
so long it has been since I was free


End this storm that threatens my passage
that stops my adventure the world holds in store

There is still so much exploring to be had
calm will return and I will be once again touch the shore


I love my world I really do
so full of grandeur and so much diversity

But I miss my home which is so close I can see it, feel it, remember it, but for now nothing but a mere memory


These rules restrict me, I know they must lift 
I miss my friends and family

Give me safe passage and open the world 
in any direction so I can flee


I love my world
though it has been too long since I have felt the warm embrace of someones true affection

Provide me the ability to explore once more
I am so desperate I will now go in almost any direction


I love my world I really do
but let me be free so I may roam

Open the skies
Let the stars shine bright and take me home

Someone hit reset already!

Wind Up Humanism

Realm of humankind wheedled in reset,
Homeland beray, lull to beset, 

Scrawling the parchment to a keyset,
Xenophobia in callousness, 
Dearth to darn the clout concord. 

Orness synergy alliance the terrene.
Berth errand the rassle office,
Commissions detach the hassle orifice... 

Pensile the ensile spirits,
Circumscissile recoiled resiliency, 
Nuanced tensile expansionism... 

Normalise a new normal,
Order the prime heart to bloom,
Taper our united dreg to blossom... 

Blight in frights, 
Dight the twinight against any affright,
Infinity within.

The Reset Button

I had always wished I could hit a magic reset button 

To be able to go back in time to change the things I did wrong 

There’s so many things I would have done differently 

But I’ve come to a realization 

Those choices have made me who I am

Strong, independent, caring and vulnerable 

Who would I be if that button existed? 

Would I still be me? 

I’m learning that there actually is a reset button 

But it’s not the kind that fixes mistakes 

It fixes your state of mind

It reaches in to heal your soul

It helps you turn over a new leaf

It helps you push the toxic negativity out of your life

You learn a lesson from the mistakes of the past

You learn to let go of the pain

Only you can create this magical button 

It starts by being grateful for what you have

Not mourn for what you lost

And I for one, am going to push that button

The Reset Button

ever yearned for that second chance? ever wanted that redo that retry? i myself regret every second of every minute of every hour of every day for i have faltered one to many times and beg for that rewind button but it will never come my way we learn from our mistakes we cant fix them just reminisce on how much pain they caused us

Premium Member Laughter


Cackles, snickers, chortles and squeals ease life's weight.
Laughter can completely reset our composure.
Humors random salves of mirth can ease feeling states.
Past times of paled poise were health fueled by laughs ardor.

{What is it you’re calling for?}
Memory's faded
Processor’s jaded
Bios clock is ticking too fast
Program glitches 
From a complicated past
Life files beyond defrag
Inputs too many 
So they lag
Outputs not enough to complete the day
Home drive support is missing 
No relational database 
Barely even a tuple array
Can’t get X’s and O’s 
From 1’s and 0’s
My touch screen is frozen pink
It’s been over a year 
Since I’ve had a good sync
And there’s a certain user bug
I just can’t shrug
Without overheating 
This computer’s mug
So please at last
Will you reset my past?
My info’s backed up in the cloud
If that many gigabytes are aloud
{Processing…Waiting…}
{Processing…Waiting…}
{Human Incompatibility Error}
{Processing Rejected}


Perhaps it’s best that there’s not a computer
Beneath this chest
Since pain and suffering 
Gives a human zest
Maybe life isn’t a program after all
Perhaps I’m not predestined to fall
A computer at times may have less quirks
But it was programmed to do certain work
My life is of my own choosing
And frustrating though at times it may be
I prefer this choosing 
Over pre-programmed monotony

Reset

Not a single feeling felt
ever could before with me
corner like a kitten I am.
Ended love as elastic gap
stretched time wide to go
straight to end, and over.
Am on trial, feels a coma       
reduced to fever, in fear
yes I love will never say.  

Time passed to clarity in
end of my quote end quote.
Most kind tragic plot arc
planted seed inside, made
often mistakes, now knows
reality to always witness
alpha first then to omega.
Reset heart aches now for
yes but waits more to say.

(note from author:  this is an acrostic where the letters at the beginning and end of the lines both form words.  I put an homage to e. e. cummings in there who can find it?)

I laid in thought of 
days gone bye.Recalled reasons all 
yet how and why ne'er came.
