Best Tense Up Poems

As I teeter, I push myself sometimes 
Stand on a different ledge
Check my balance
Today white knuckle rides
I'd stopped going on them
So I went on them
You can check your own influence on a potential unpleasant situation 
It's interesting (apparently not poetic, I'll keep at it)
My jaw...

I board my little metal box early in the dawn,
Adjust my seat, fix my mirror, turn the stereo on,
I love the drive, I live for the day,
And I am generally  accepting,
Of all those little experiences,
 Life shares with me along the way.

Check my mirrors,...

Sue switched to primary teaching with a PGCE, 
And won the Yorkshire/Lincs Sportsperson twice,
Was given the MBE for her services to charity.

She’s a patron of Rainbow House, disabled kids, 
Which offers them conducive education, trying, 
And she organises fundraisers...

My 2 hands are not strong 
enough to bring you on the 1st 
flight back to what we had. 
I can feel the past tense 
pretending to beat down on my 
head with your own fists, 
stopping at the last inch each 
time, and making...

Four joints excercising their right
to tense up
Oh how the Pancreas aides in 
such a drawstring.

Conscience kidnapped for a spell
while these fierce, 
No, cowardly beings
earn their way into darkness.

Like the pedophile with no
child, sitting in the playground
"just reading a book"
while children play.

What a facade!
We know why...

Today I feel a furious intensity

About two years, ago

Family members would always love to share

The news about the passing of someone

Either from the village, or someone, I once knew

I remember during our conversations; I would tense up

And asked of them not to called and give...

A day like any other is taking place
With me hanging out with friends;
Just seeing them puts a smile on a face,
And it makes me glad to meet them again.

My day is moving forward with time
And I'm entertained by my friends conversation;
But I remember I have...

Every second, every minute, every single thought about you
Wonders of this still could be too good to be true
Fluttering in my heart, palpitations go amiss
I yearn for the touch of your skin, and I constantly crave your kiss
I close my eyes and astral-plane to where...

Breathe deeply
Drink cold water
Squeeze a stress ball
Tense up your muscles
That's easy enough if I don't want tears.

Tilt your head back
Imagine your happy place
Step away from the situation
Watch and listen to something funny
So far, stopping tears seems to be a doable task.

The above are 8 out...

in the dark i can be mself,in the dark all my fantasies come true the ones i'm scared to share.
in the dark i'm alone and not afraid of people starring,in the dark it is quiet yet i know i'm still 
alive.
some fear being alone but...

Hate is something that grows within a person.
You cannot truly hate someone based off words of another.
But when hate has made it's roots it's not likely to leave.

Like how I hate your touch, I tense up just for a moment, remembering that night. 
How I...

What if we feared happiness as we fear pain?
To flinch at laughter, to tense up when a smile appears,
to hesitate to step into the light, as if joy were a fire waiting to burn us,
a fire lurking, ready to turn everything to ash, to leave...

Traumatic brain injury 
traumatic headaches 
intense frontal pain 
temples are numb 
quietly sends painful 
signals throughout 
my brain sometimes 
my mind searches 
for respites as the 
pain swelling reaches
my optic nerve 
radiating across my 
skull thinking itch 
my bones feel like 
they are biting my...

Now that we’re up in it, speak your mind.
Say whether or not you had a good time?
We cut no corners down there in the “Boot”.
Hit every nook, cranny, and opening chute.


Did I hit that spot that makes you scream?
Make you...
