Best Restart Poems

START

what where you thinking about
did you see me and you had a doubt
about the
feel of my skin
on different parts of your chin
that it might irritate your stubble
and make your mind and stomach stumble

STOP

faces apart 

RESTART

So what we're we talking about
did you like how I handed...

Turn and look at me
Lie to me, Your truth 
Build me up with your dirty words
Whispered loudly, left to echo with uncouth

Disgusted Reflections
Even the mirrors have lost sight
Too many people needing to look just right,unscathed in that flawless perfect light
Why don't you move to my...

thrusting the back day's echoes into cache and restart with new sunshine

Locked in, I should count my blessings
cooking, cleaning, playing, having fun
recalling good olden rememberings
the things we could not do on the run
we always had a 'to do list' gun
whose bullets never seemed to end
this opportunity is a godsend
so let's make the best use of it

I’ve gone back in time. 

But only in my head?

I’m strangely curious, and not panicked like a moment ago. 

Ok, this time I’m going to figure this out.

My brain is trapped in some sort of loop.

Maybe I was chosen. 

I need to think. 

Chosen for...

Living this far
The years of trials 
I face

Amazed
With my two feet
Still standing still

Wondering 
How I still be able
To be here, Today

Though 
Wishing
Restarting my life again

To certain time
That days
That very moment
Before it falls apart

Should not have
Think so freely 
That it will be simple
And worked out fine

Should...

Stop.
Pause.
Restart.
Let the day begin
You’re in my life again
I never thought this would happen
My face hurts from smiling
I love you 
I really do
I never thought I’d say that again
We have both grown as people
I see that we’re both a little more broken than before
I will help...

Lost with our own remarks
How to rego how to restart
And we turn at every corner
Looking for the familiar
But we cut the chord
Nothing to bring us back
To life from heart attack...

Let's learn to walk again,
hold hands for first steps, new beginnings.

Not afraid to stumble,
or fear being judged for fumbles.

Nap anywhere without setting an alarm, 
and no thoughts cross our minds of self-harm.

Let's make cheat notes rather than journals, 
not to conclusions, but let's jump over...

Sometimes I sit by myself and I think of our past
Having no idea then - that this long it would even last
In 2015 you showed me a fake side of you
We knew from the beginning you weren't telling me the truth
But as fake as you...

You need a song
To carry along
With you in your heart
For you to restart

Help you find a new groove
When you need a new mood
Or blindsided by love
And you just had enough

On your journey through life
To stave off the knives
Through all the rough times
Pull you from the...

Born to create, deceived to consume.
We think we are so royal and grand. 
Brilliant and creative we do assume. 
In truth a wasteland, at best secondhand. 

We repeat what has already been had. 
Or simply change what someone else has made. 
Then stand proud as...

I no longer fit the outline
of who I used to be.

The edges have shifted,
some softened, some sharpened,
some lost altogether,
as if time has carved me
into something unrecognizable
but still mine.

I reach for old habits,
old names,
old certainties,
but they do not sit right in my hands.
The echoes of who...

Once again they lie,
Once again, they spin their tale,  
My instincts whispered long ago.  
Underestimated, as always, it sails,  
Through currents of pretense they choose to throw.  

They undermine, as though it's blind,  
Do they think It doesn't understand? ...
