Best Shut Your Mouth Poems
open your doors
close all the windows
sleeping's such a bore
suffocate it with pillows
psh, i'm not hellbent
shut your mouth
it's called character development
WOOPS. broke routine again
and the poem's gone south.
made myself out to be the bad guy
so they wouldn't feel as sad when i die
so many
so many damn times you told me
all those uplifting words regarding my significance
did i ever stop to listen?
now look at all this tension
i am the patient
you're the asylum
this heart rate is hesitant
unless you revive them
i'm the addiction and
you are the needle
i'm the mutilation
you're the scars that will heal
i am the stash
and you're the supplier
i am the match and
you are the fire
you are the truth
and i am the dare
you are the daydream
i'm the nightmare
i am the cigarette
you are the lighter
i am the pirouette
you're the choreographer
we all are so sad
we've both lost our thrill
that's just too bad but
we both know the drill
made myself out to be the bad guy
so i wouldn't feel as sad when i die
Throughout my life I've noticed,
That people like to talk;
But though they like to talk the talk,
Most don't walk the walk.
Most folks think highly of themselves.
Some more than they should.
They'll put on aires and talk about,
The ugly, bad and good;
Of all the people, places, things,
They're seeing, going, doing,
But be polite, be interested,
In what they say they're brewing.
Don't repeat a word you hear.
Don't take one word to heart,
For things change over night, you know,
Make you look like an upstart.
So if you're asked your take on things,
Say it's all news to you.
Just shut your mouth, let others talk,
Let them tell you what's new.
Today I write for the women, of the Poetry Soup.
Tuesday’s poem of the day was more like bigotry goop.
More hate was spit out by an imbecile’s rant.
I would love to shut your mouth, you’re just lucky I can’t.
Your words aren’t appreciated nor will they ever be.
You don’t speak like a real man a coward is what I see.
Why would you attack women? That’s just pathetic and weak.
Would your mother approve of the words that you speak?
You’re entitled to your opinion as I am to mine.
But bring your hate to this platform and I’ll speak up every time.
A woman gave you life and wiped your worthless rear.
Mothers do a lion’s share of the work, not you my dear.
You need to reboot and think before you boast.
You show your intelligence by the words that you post.
I’m sorry dear ladies you don’t deserve any more pain.
You have my love and respect, no matter what this fool claims.
I'm Restless and defeated
Feeling overwhelmed and cheated
My Plate about to topple
Don't you dare pop that waffle
Shut your mouth and the door
Clean the dog pee off the floor
Fit to be tied, mouth foaming
Computer died, phone roaming
Don't look at me with that cheesy grin
My patience, like ice, that's growing thin
Just finished my Alaskan shower
Thanks to you bathing for an hour
Spent my last dollar topping off my tank
Just to find, my car won't crank
Pants ripped when I bent over
Picking up a 3 leafed clover
Dog ran off, didn't think he'd go far
As luck would have it, he was hit by a car
thought we'd spend the day, saying goodbye
Would you believe, he didn't die
At the vet, running up my credit
I'll revise my budget again and re edit
Sporting a cone around his head
The doctor said he should be hand fed
It's ok, I have time to spare
Out of work due to an allergy flare
Looking like a blowfish with chicken pox
Hamster got loose at the delight of a fox
Kids called the cops for animal abuse
Handcuffed for 2 hours before they let me loose
Neighborhood kids, come knocking
I wish I could say it was the least bit shocking
Leaving doors open, letting in the flies
I hide in the bathroom and find I have spies
Little feet under the shower curtain
Bottoms spanked, hands hurtin
Crawl in the bed at 1 a.m.
Sleep for 5 hours, then do it again
[verse-1]
Tonight it feels like, the end of the world
Tonight you showed me, you were never my girl
I wonder do you know, what my heart is doing
Well girl it's breaking in two, since you've gone
[verse-2]
Go ahead tell those lies, to all your friends
Go ahead tell them, what a big fool i've been
I wonder will you tell them, you have a heart of stone
Or will you call them, and joke about me on the phone
[chorus]
Well be sure to tell them, how you broke my heart
And how funny it was, when I set down and cried
Tell them how, you tore my world apart
'Cause I know, you won't tell them how you lied
[verse-3]
You're gonna have to be careful, when you're drinking
You're gonna have to be sober, when you're bragging
You'll have to learn to shut your mouth, when your wasted
Or everyone will no your a liar, and how your mind is twisted
[chorus]
Well be sure you tell them, how you broke my heart
And how funny it was, when I set down and cried
And tell them how, you tore my world apart
'Cause girl I know, you won't tell them how you lied
Yes I will die for her
Yes I will cry for her
But I will not turn my head and look the other way
I will not stand silent while others make a mockery of liberty
I will not stand silent while others
Distort the truth
And if I offend you
I DON'T CARE
Human rights for all does not require the denial of mine
Freedom of choice is not an entitlement
For middle class oppression
Pursuit of happiness is not a governmental gift
And if That upsets you
I DON'T CARE
I will pray
I will say
Under God
I will accept you when you accept me
If you are appalled
I DON'T CARE
I will sing God Bless America
If it offends you shut your ears
If you feel the need to respond
Shut your mouth
I do not respond to you denying your righTS
Do not deny mine
There is no room for bigoted fanaticism
In this the Mother Land
If this makes you angry
I DON'T CARE.
You can close your eyes,
Plug your ears,
Shut your mouth.
But you cannot close your mind.
You are one of the reasons
Why they inflate their quote
If you had seized the seasons
Good men could have had your vote
You are one of the reasons
Why our sweet land has gone sour in waste
Here is one of your multiple treasons
You aid corruption just to suit your taste
You are one of the reasons we wedge weighty wrath
Bombs daily detonate like fickle fireworks far north
You decided to do nothing but shut your mouth
So they took our weary sail south
You are one of the reasons the land is inflicted with rape
Overflowing in abundance yet you mong like a greedy ape
Alas our land is grey and old but not due
And it hurts me to know that I am also you.
P.D. vs' Amy Gr33n,,Slam, Bam Thank You Ma'am
So Miss @my Gr33n,
Do you think your s__t is mean
Trying to compete
Do you really want to taste defeat
Your dose of medicine, had no effect at all
Your Slam, Bam Thank You Ma'am
Was a sorry booty call.
Trying to talk the talk
Trying to bark and walk
All them words your are saying
Sounds like you are praying
Who really wants to listen?
Who really should care?
And what the hell is that S__t in your hair?
So you think you can play the part.
Before things fall apart
Please @my Gr33n stop before you fart
Trust me it does not matter If I let you win.
Your words are pointless and the idea is pathetic.
Please stop talking you are giving me a headache.
Just stop rhyming.
Sounds like your crying.
Okay pause.............as the moment goes bye.
Giving you a minute before you break down and cry.
My words are a weapon, You know that right.
Next time shut your mouth, keep those lips tight
Let me just stop and bring this to an end.
@my Gr33n remember ....I am your friend
By:P.D.
((once again for fun...thank you Amy Green for the fun slam.))

Chocolate Chip
Written By: D. Collins 4/7/17
That gewyness where your palate won’t separate from your tongue.
And once it does, all you want is another one.
It is more addictive than crack doused in ice.
The best you’ve had through your entire life.
There is nothing like it, even with all the drama.
She’s the closest you’ll get to being like Mama.
Shut your mouth, be happy, and enjoy what you get.
Savor the sweet flavor of a chocolate chip.
Come home from work
See my girlfriend crying
She can’t get on face book
And whole day she trying
Well I try to fix the computer
To get she on the internet
The girl cries so much
Two handkerchiefs soaking wet
What’s up with face book?
Sending this girl crazy
Chatting with Amanda whole day
And now she gets so lazy
So I call her mother
To complain bout she daughter
She said she call back later
Julie on the computer
So went to her father
And said she don’t cook no more
She on face book since morning
Till I come home at four
He call me out side
He hiding from his wife
He said leave face book alone
That is part of them women’s life
The stove not light for the day
All it has is bread and cheese
She says darling I’m hungry
Go order some Chinese
This face book and women
Is a bad combination
It causing problems in homes
All across the nation
A woman updating she profile
From almost all about
When she quarrel with her husband
She leaving that part out
hannah taking out pix for face book
She runs out of lipstick
She takes two buses and a taxi
Telling the driver to do quick
So I call president Obama
Tell him face book causing hell
He said boy shut your mouth
He wants no problem from Michelle
Now face book is OK
To meet family old and new
But do people have to post
Every little thing they do
A man post he on vacation
On the beach in Tobago
While he home in couva
But nobody don’t know
I try to organize some friends
To protest against face book
When I gone them on the computer
These men already hook
So I have to stay quiet
Because my girlfriend very sweet
I pick up the phone and said
Darling what you want to eat
You'll only collapse and fall and tear your knees open,
Shut your mouth, you cant even imagine what hell I've broken.
Blood leaking from my head everyday only makes me lose my mind,
You wouldn't even survive a minuet in my shoes if you were on my grind.
You say you know everything about me and how to live your own life,
but face it tho, every night your left alone sitting with a knife.
I defeated that part in life where i have to do something for someone,
walking around with my "Ex Wife" as if it were my gun.
So please stop talking like you know what you got your self into,
cause if i were you i would open my eyes and pray that I'm not true.
So here it is, if you want to walk a bit in these shoes of mine, go ahead,
But I can promise you only one thing, in the end you'll end up Dead.
I'm sick of the criticism
It's like their is vandalism
On my heart and way I live
Because I just want to give
My children the best I can
With a loving gentle hand
To guide them through the roughest times
So they'll look back and always find
All the love inside my heart
Will be there and not depart
Years will never make it fade
Their life will always be made
From love, care, hugs and much more
It is from deep in my core
So when others speak about
They should already be out
With a job and their own life
It's like somebody took a knife
And stabbed me right through the back
I don't like to get attacked
From those who don't know the story
Of our life-- it brings me fury
That they judge my parent skills
Getting a big giant thrill
Knocking me down with their words
Not knowing how much it hurts
The words they are daily saying
Of the p8cture their portraying
Its far from the real truth
And a past that made me choose
Not to make my kids go through
Everything that made me blue
So I might not be as tough
Like other parents who are rough
Pushing their kids till they break
That is the one huge mistake
I would never put them through
Mind your business--don't intrude
Unless you know the REAL me
And why I treat my family
A little different than others
I am not trying to smother
And put out their flame of life
I'm just holding off the strife
From entering then to fast
Lessons learned from my sad past
Breathe In...
Breathe Out...
Speak not in Anger
Curse or Shout
When Provoked
Shut Your Mouth
Breathe In...
Breathe Out...
Fear
The shout of a man sitting at a table
He was collecting all bottles, and glass that he was able
I turned to my husband and said what do you think?
Some guys stood behind us and said "lets get a drink."
I moved to the side, I walked on past
The hairs on my neck were standing up fast
A feeling I knew washed over me
Something was happening and I didn’t want to see.
A guard with a gun, knocked me as he walked by
The guy at the table with the bottles wasn’t shy.
"Get lost, get away you can’t stop me flying
I know what to do without even trying."
My heart began to race, what is going on?
People are pushing and shoving then we could see he had a gun.
The fight starts there on the floor, two men with the glass and bottles
Two guards rush in, hands round throats trying to throttle
We hide behind tables, and chairs, we cannot escape
A gun slides up near making a noise like ripping duck tape.
It’s there at my feet- a hand reaches for it,
Is it a guard or a terrorist? I nearly have a fit.
A push in the back from a big burly guy
Shouts “Go on get stuck in, give it a try.”
"What the hell are you on about shut your mouth now"
There’s guns flying round and words I never heard- I vow
There are four on the floor kicking guns and screaming loud
Then a clicking of two feet, comes a short man from the crowd
He stands and he yells and they all do stop
He points and picks up the guns that they have not
He sorts it all out; the police come take them away
An announcement rings out
“Thanks for flying with us today.”
