Best Wearing Your Heart On Your Sleeve Poems


I Tried......
Desperately seeking answers but no one to ask 
Life now seems to be a forgotten task 

Helplessly wearing my heart on my sleeve 
Constantly praying that this pain would soon leave

Quietly wondering why it happen to me
is this your way of setting me free
tell me...

Who I Once Was
I look back to who I once was...
A shadow of a former me?
Or a shadow of a hidden me...

Once loving, compassionate and kind,
Always putting others before,
Loving all, giving all, all in all.

Wearing its heart on its sleeve,
Only to have it scorned and criticized,
To have it...

Premium Member The Ugly Truth
I’ll let the pillows style my hair 
And my morning breath won’t be fair
If you don’t want me then I don’t care
I’m in a haunting mood of truth beware

I can be who I am within my head
The thoughts I have like spam bleeding red
Of me...

If you like adventure you will like Match.com,
But many of them you won’t want to take home to meet your Mom.
Each guy you see is a brand new slate.
It's like an interview, looking for a potential soulmate.

Some dates have a good sense of humor and...

The ocean is a beautiful woman
With ebony hair drawn back into a fancy do
Wearing ethereal pearls on her neck

The ocean is watching the golden fish
Enjoying them and protecting them
With the might of her soul self

The ocean is a spirit mama
Protecting her young and her old...

Overrated
I can't afford to flinch 
in the presence of adversity 
gotta remove any negativity 
and I mean that literally, surgically 
letting go of what's been disturbing me 
before it kills me or makes 
me lose my mind 
it's clutch time 
There's an audience watching 
to...

This Morning
I watched one day running into another day with the hope that wisdom would come alive and buried this unsettled feeling that has no significant meaning but the morning kept playing music in my stomach, there was no sign of pain or shame but only...

The Sound of My Heart
The ocean is so far away,
I’m in the water but I’m feeling closer at home to bay,
I sigh and pout in dismay,
The life inside of me has began to decay,
And no one can fix it no matter what they try to say.

What is that noise...

Rich and Poor
I'd rather be rich in my head than rich in my pockets.
In order to be rich in my pockets i have to be rich in my head.
Thoughts of gold never selling my soul. My perception of the concept
That with a rich heart i'll go far....

I am here digging a tunnel to nowhere
a spade wearing an heart on its sleeve
a diamond of gems not belong to a club

I am here a star in the sky hard to find
sharing a life with a flailing light 
and many bulbs flowering come spring

I...

You'Ll Do What You'Ve Always Done
you'll do what you've always done 
stay too long 
pretending you're a suitor 
or a knight in shining armor 
and i'm a damsel in this dress 

what a mess we've made of things 
you've been content to play the part 
of an ill-suited lover

Love Is My Relegion
At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.-
 John of the Cross


This virtue that is permanently hooked
to my body, I call love. 
Is has a multitude of definitions
for me it constitutes white doves. 

A survival instinct that I use to bond

The Many Shades and Layers of Me
yeiyah

shes the wild child carefree
inhibited, unpredictable
invincible rebel in me
free as a summers breeze
liberated and quick to pop bottles
throw back shots like everyday is a celebration
quick to pop off n throw hands when violated
go hard or go home
ride or die chick
pop off on some "bonnie n...

Be Back Soon
I must learn to stop wearing my heart on my sleeve,
For it brings me nothing but pain.
So tell me why is it so eager to leave?
For it brings nothing but broken pieces that come to remain!

But virtues of patience and hopes of friendship,
Will take time...

Heart On My Sleeve
It's just me and my shadow tonight
I've been thinking about you a lot today
You found me just as I lost my way
Wearing my heart on my sleeve meant Cupid couldn't get the aim with his arrow right

I put my pride down so I could say...
