Best Under Pressure Poems


Under Pressure
Here stands a man who's just about to blow a gasket,
he has far too much washing in his basket,
he never asked for such a load,
and he feels it's time to hit the road,
before he does something he regrets,
I wouldn't be placing any bets,
on him sticking...

Im sitting here writing under pressure/ my life is optomistic even though it getting lesser/ Im sitting here writing for tomorrow if this should be my death letter/
 I know I aint the best but I could be doing better/
 Im softer that a bunny...

yet am ahead of 
them all so

Warning Contents Under Pressure
have you lost your mind
not that I'm aware of
just another flat penny train wreck
let's survey the blaspheming survivors
an army of gossiping lawn trolls
have been detected in your garden
do you
a. get out of bed
b. run screaming into the night
c. splash a little more gin
into the horn...

Sick of Sorrow: Under Pressure
I want to be relieved
I have already grieved
Show me Your serenity please
You swayed me next to you, being at ease
Show me Your prosperous peace
I have already grieved
I long to be relieved

However, our love –
Long story short…
I keep on thinking of
You falling short
I'm your last resort

I...

Under Pressure
Hold your breath
Take a drift into the sobbing clouds 
Keep them away from drowning death
They remained under pressure for years 

The clouds can't help it
They must release the pain and pressure

So they drown themselves in sorrow 
Sending dramatic rain from bitter clouds 
Leaving tomorrow 
In the muddied meadow 

The brook took...

Cooker Under Pressure
Father wants breakfast
Groaning to find the settings
To high, four minutes, and on
Pressure cooker despairing -
"Now what? Eggs are hard!"...

Guided Under Pressure
I'm sorry for all the stupid things I've done
I guess I'll leave now before the break of dawn
You made me love you, but that didn't last too long
You belong with me or so I thought while writing this sad song

I'm a terrible guy with a...

Shoulders heavy and strain.
Thoughts of being proper in my brain.
Keep holding them up as they say my name.
This world cannot be tamed.

The weight is heavy and unbearable.
Weakening my tested status.
Making me become another Atlas
Painful suffering without a cure.

How much longer can I endure?
Feeling so insecure.
My...

Premium Member A daughter In Law under pressure
I aim to please as the only daughter-in-law of theirs. As of yet, nothing has proven successful, and I feel his mother's judgmental stares.

On a previous and most recent visit, her thoughts were that our dining room table looked bare. Although it is no fault...

Pressure,
Boxing me into this two foot,
By two foot-
Space,
The thrill of the future,
The chill of the past,
None shall last....

Under Pressure
To make a superb drink that is unique, grapes must be crushed to make wine.
It makes the meal even tastier when friends and family together dine.
To obtain the sparkle and brilliance, diamonds form under tons of tremendous pressure.
Success cannot be obtained without turmoil, loss, or...
