Best Self Control Poems


Self Control
Tonight, we saw the split second
the rush before dying, the twist of good metal
the swerve of the drunkard in a flash of white light
We braced only precious things, my 3 year old daughter
and our own frail adrenaline bodies held tight
Tonight, this man chose
to pour his...

Self control, God knows, is difficult at best…
Especially when rebellious is the
 self possessed.
I've put myself in corners,
I'll be grounded till pigs have wings
I can't even tell myself what to do, it seems.

Self Control
annoyed of SELF CONTROL
controlled by the insane 

defined by its people
the chemicals changed

its the anger in your mind
that despised 
all the rest

screw it,despair and ashes
suit it best

its the refused realization
a sick portrait 

of the young world with
a crooked mind

its like she plays innocent
to pass the...

whims may become a blessing or a curse
pushing one toward certain ruin or worse
drinking from the deep well of evasion
well versed in dark practices of persuasion
fixating on dreams of what ought to be
avoiding what mirrors reality

totally free of social encumbrances
in spite of what the best...

She Lost Self-Control At the New York Deli
I saw her sitting at a table for one,
her hands were slender as she grabbed a sesame bun,
which was stuffed with three inches of smoked turkey,
onion, tomato, lettuce and Swiss cheese,
opening her red-lipsticked mouth with ease,
she bit into the sandwich relishing every bite,
delicately chewing the...

Do they wounder, do they worry?

Thinking back does it really matter,
wat they think?what they say?
As long as u make it, 
Nothing matters at that point,
 make since now does it?
throuh out a life time
you will be judged, u will be hated.
but dont let...

How Can You Loose Self-Control
Being influenced by disasters,
Those who’ll never be comforters,
By profession they’re affecter s,
In action they are arresters,
How can you lose self-control?

The act of taking over yourself,
The hope to wish for yourself,
Making all decisions for yourself,
 The act of protection  yourself,
How can you lose self-control?

Chance for...

A-re the same emotional

N-ever ever let your mind
E-nd up losing self-control.

Heavy Going
RoseAnn Malone resolved to lose weight.
She made a list of foods to forsake.
She did well 'till week four
eating more than before.
Airlines had to bill her at the freight rate....

I Want, But Don't Need

Yes, "I Want, But Don't Need" is my waistwatcher creed 
     as I walk by each vending machine.
All those chocolate chips calling out to my hips,
     colored Reese's in pieces - obscene!

Awoken
Could it be possible, 
all i see is an illusion? 
Notice all of the confusion.
Nonetheless lies and intrusion. 

I must fight them to live my own life.
I must stay sharp, like a steak knife. 
There very well may never be a physical bruise-
to what importance...
