Best Think Twice Poems
Take a breath just pretend to light a cigarette
Mind your every thought so that you'll not regret
Avoid a tactless comment that might go south
Remember ~ a fly does not enter a closed mouth

Time can be most unforgiving.
Once wasted you can't get it back.
Living with regrets is wretched.

She walks slowly down the street bent over her walker,
Not looking at the people speeding past her so fast;
It's windy and cold and her legs are swollen and hurt,
Is there no one in this world who cares?
The people see her but pretend to not notice the need,
The frayed coat, the out dated style, the gray hair;
They are busy people on their way to somewhere,
No time for the poor, the elderly, the needy?
But O, think twice, it's another day for you and me,
In Paradise, think twice for youth is but a moment;
For each person in this Paradise will become the frail,
Think twice, O think twice, think twice!
The lined faces, paper skin, the lost of energy and spirit,
This is the reality of Paradise, of life, so think twice;
Life can change in a split second, the once secure,
Can become the beggar on the corner, think twice!

HERE is the heart you've broken
hallelujah is the song that you sing
yes, i get it, you're rid of me
oh but boy, you're missing one thing
did you remember that you gave YOURS to me?
of course not, you don't remember at all
if you want it, it'll be smashed at the bottom
off the same cliff you let mine 'fall'
skulls are crossbars,
night time,coffee,windows
jazz.how good do you have to be?
Think twice
Don’t throw the dice
To ever make your choice
Look beyond the looks that entice
And the gestures that seem nice
Think twice
Fall not for vain words of spice
Put your passion on ice
Waste it not on those lying lice
Soon you’ll hear your true-love’s voice
Saying ‘I do’
We know about our ancestors
Playing monkey tricks are easy
Some may get fun out of those
But, we have evolved afar
Then, why should we go back to jungle?
Hey, Rising Sun! Enlight, the doomed souls

Don’t say the words I do, when the real truth is that I like you.
Don’t place your feelings after, you will never get the happiness that really should matter.
Don’t play dumb and not listen to what your conscience is trying to prevent, cause your life can be filled with non other than deep holes and dents.
Don’t worry about people’s happiness instead of your own, pain and sorrow is the condition you will be in as you continuously mourn.
This path they say is tough
though rough, some of `em say is bliss
those that have not seen, see they want to
those that have seen it all, teach they want to
if a man dies, will he live again?
do life and death have anything in common?
grandpa`s advise will always bring in some fright
get your shoes ready, cos` the world may end in the night`s hour
now this is the advise
"As you lay your rest, so you will pass through it"
Whatever you see
Whatever you know
Forgotten what will become
Life as you know it
Will disappear
Don’t you think twice?
The light doesn’t mean good
As dark doesn’t mean evil
You would never know
So don’t think twice
As far as you know
They can feel evil or bad
They still can change
Everyone needs
Another chance
They need to be showed
How to change
So don’t think twice
When they want the help
Don’t think twice
Think Twice
Do you think I’m slipping?
Losing my memory with old age?
Do you think my better days are behind me?
That I should be written off the page?
Do you think I can’t see what’s going on?
Don’t think I can read between the lines?
Wasting away quietly into nonexistence
Think you see clearly all the signs?
Don’t be too cocky
Don’t be too big for your shoes
This tired man is aging
But I’m not ready to lose
On a good day I can still beat you
With a arm tied behind my back
So you better think twice
Before you go on the attack
Experience is on my side
Wisdom comes with years
I’ve paid my dues
With blood, sweat, and tears
There was a time in years long past
We thought good taste would always last
Adults were neat in proper dress
Now all has changed, they look a mess.
Shorts cut so high we’re now aghast
Tops cut so low, breasts holding fast
Not much is really left to guess
You best think more, not wear less!
First impressions most always last
It’s too late now, the die is cast
Hoodies, baggy pants don’t impress
That sloppy look won’t bring success
For with your image you’re typecast
Don’t let your future be bypassed!
Like fire we rise 'pon the breath of the dawn.
Eager and burning, our futures unclear.
Valiant as the lion, tender as the fawn.
Unpredictable embers with passions so near!
Yet, time is a line we are doomed to traverse.
We find ourselves marching melancholy roads,
flanked by bright crystal and hailed by verse,
still, the end is apparent; see? There it abodes.
At last comes the gloaming, the fire chokes out.
We fed on our ashes until they were gone.
Our bodies are frosted, there can be no doubt:
Rich pathos- our plead can never go on.
Forevermore, then, in our palace of ice.
We will lie, in the darkness, and never think twice.

Think twice before you shed that tear.
Can't let anyone see that you're weak.
Come with me to the dark corner.
And put your head on my shoulder.
We will get through this.
I promise this to you.
Think twice before you kiss that man.
Don't want to lead him on too much.
Let's run to the border and let him be.
And put your hand into mine.
He doesn't deserve one like you.
I promise this to you.
Think twice before you tell them yes.
Nobody here knows you like I do.
Hop in my car and race to the sun.
And let me put my arm around you.
Have a feeling that they want to use you badly.
I promise this to you.
Think twice before you sleep tonight.
Want for you to wake up with a new view.
Dream of the man of your wildest dreams.
And invite me to come on in.
You don't know me, but you already love me.
I promise this to you.
Think twice before you take me in your arms.
Unconfortable silence is a false security.
Dreaming that we will be together forever.
One on one. One mind , one flesh, one soul.
I can make you happy the rest of your days.
I promise this to you.
I won't think twice(It's alright)
By Ivonne Lizarraga
You say you want to leave me ,and that you want to go your way.Well it's al right I don't
mind if i have to Let you go.Anyway we're better off this way ,and I won't think twice it's
alright.
You say we never talked much any way,but you never even really gave me a chance to
express how i feel.You always just wanted to make love, but making love is too romantic of
phrase so I'll just say we just fooled around. i won't think twice it's alright.
Your the reason why I was so confused .Yet I realized what we had wasn't love.It was just
an affair. After all thats all you really wanted from me.so I'll just say goodbye ,and farewell.
It just don't mater to me if you say goodbye,or farewell it's all the same to me as long as
your leaving, and never coming back.and i won't think twice it's alright.
There's nothing I can do,or say to change your mind,and make you stay .There's just no
point in even calling out your name.just like you never really showed me that you cared. You
said you gave me your heart,but I'll really got was your bitter sweet passionate affection.
and i won't think twice its alright.
I'm not saying you were that much of an ass,and that i never really felt anything for you.In
fact I was a fool for you.Since i fell for your charm, i once had strong feelings for a man,a
child I'm told but it was sortive a waste of time. You could've been a better lover, but i don't
really care anymore,and i won't think twice it's alright.
Tomorrow you'll be gone out of my life forever,and you'll go your way,and I'll definitely go
my way.For sure you'll find that someone,and you'll probably love her more then you would
ever love me anyway.Then again I'm confident to find something better then what we had,
so i won't think twice it's alright.
