Breaking Down Poems - Poems about Breaking Down

I’ve chosen a hard road One full of slings and arrows Regrets about what happened yesterday Anxieties over tomorrow I’m teaching the words To children who don’t care to hear Enforcing the code of discipline Before morality disappears I’m walking a hard road Surrounded by ice and fire Deciding between responsibility And quenching my desire I’m writing the words For Johnny Who Don’t Wanna Read Carving my memoir into...

Borders, lines drawn in the sand Dividing people, dividing land But in our hearts, we know it's true We are one, me and you For deep inside, we all yearn To cross these borders, to learn From each other, from every race And build a world, a better place A world where all are seen as one And love and peace are never done Where...

This morning our computer died; Our car won’t start as well. The bathroom sink was clogged last month; Our hand-washed towels smell. The pipe beneath the kitchen sink Had water shooting out. A total breakdown seems to be What life is all about. The super fixed the pipe; tomorrow We’ll call Triple-A And hopefully a jump will make The battery obey. We ordered a computer. (Ours was...

It is no small act that follows no leaps nor bounds as we are bound the square, white-washed walls crumbling, no doors, no sound but who are we are we not what one perceives stuck to our one room box we break down walls chains colour splashes from our minds deep duck pond greens clouded and clumsy periwinkle blues rich like yellow satins seducing our sky dawning...

Caught in the depths of my shadows within Breathing in the plague of all the vermin Nauseated stomach and bile on my chin ...

We live in a world of so many ethnic divides The future is in trying to unite Healing the damage trying to make things right, The colour of your skin or your belief Makes you in no way different from me, It's nothing we see when we are kids It's something our parents and peer group taught, To fear anything you don't...

Our bodies, like machines, break down, Their warranties expired, So slowly we relinquish Certain habits we’ve acquired. The jog morphs into walking; The glass of wine, a sip. The dinners switch to “early birds” At places not so hip. The muscles and the joints get stiff; We don’t move quite as fast. A good night’s sleep is something We remember from the past. We visit doctors, hoping...

Truly my friends My brothers,my sisters; There is no need to search for love,only A need to break down those barriers Which restrain you from it......

You’re scaling an invisible wall Dissolving statues in desert sands Please catch me before I fall Iron grip slowly slips from my hands Breaching steel barricades Toppling false regimes I've built Grounding moors in afternoon shades Trample on my blooming guilt Toppling false regimes I've built Please catch me before I fall Trample on my blooming guilt You’re scaling an invisible wall...

Slowly one’s life like my rich ancient culture slowly breaks down/ All parts of my traditional sculpture peace taken down/ I’m a twenty-first century reservation war camp inmate I don’t know why I keep getting the shake down/ I was once filled with change until I experienced the greed and money of the American influenced...

The day has come to hear the inner voice Once whispering now yelling it out loud, The time has come to make a simple choice, Or drown in shame and forget to be proud. For years it has been tugging at my heel. Until I kicked it down and turned away, Too scared to face the truth and how I feel, The...

As the door opens and behind me slams shut. It was like someone punching me hard in the gut. In jail is where I'll be for the next nine months. This is where myself, I had no choice but to confront. The doors slammed on all my dreams. In my head, all I hear is my screams. In this small room...

You have broken down the wall, That I put up in my heart... Apparently I didn't make it strong, Strong enough to keep you out... Cuz you got right through it, Even without trying...no effort... I guess I am so numb that I don't care... Just please...I beg of you....don't hurt me... I don't know if I can take it... The next time...
