Dependent Poems - Poems about Dependent

Opening the door onto your secret, my heart pounds at the display of old wounds. Healing achieved by clinging to nothing— a future only obliquely glimpsed. My heart pounds at the display of old wounds where other’s careless words and barbs had pierced. A future only obliquely glimpsed through a whiskey bottle nearly empty. Where other’s careless words and barbs had pierced, going...

There's a stuffed animal that sits in the kid's corner of the coffee shop closest to my house. It seems like a dog, but it's wrapped head to tail in what appear to be bandages. A mummified canine. I used to think this oddity was a bizarre choice for a kid's toy, but I think I understand it now. Behind the screen of a body cast, he's a...

The intelligence men evince Is what should others convince That they have been working hard since, Now and again, from sure pains wince; Not Radiance of the king's Clarence: The White Dependent on Black Prince But Legendary Night Nurse Florence Whose story still place hands on chins... The intelligence we evince Should make us, if need be, words mince, To, later, our stained lips rinse: Like...

Don't be dependent on anything Feel it use it but be wise What is sweet kills easily The sweeter the killer Feel it use it but be wise Don't be carried away By the sweetness of life Life is sweet but it need control Self control matters If truly you need to grow up Feel it...

I had a niece named Karen who at twenty has mapped out a plan for a 'strong, independent life', she’d be 'dependent on no man.' And, oh, she took such pride in that, her college had made her this way, but badmouthing men for the past seems quite dumb, so I had my say: “While I cannot disagree that women once needed men to...

Sweet when it's convenient Taste as I'm obedient Starve me like when I'm too busy to come home and feed my cat for a day, She will live Love me when I'm near and forget me when I'm far, yet I am the distant one The dependent one The one who can't sleep at night as I pray for scraps Just...

Being Dependent Upon Jesus, His Source. By: Tom Wright 9/28/98 The stranger at the well, having a broken vessel, sides and top, Related to me his story and could not stop. I come to draw this water not to store, But to drink as needed daily to quench my thirst. Always returning at other times to drink the more, Often drinking until I fear I'll burst. With vessel new, I came but thrice...

When I came to the end of me and stopped trying to fix it by myself mentality in desperation I would cry out to my Father hoping that He would answer when He saw me now on my knees. For if I chose to humble myself under the mighty hand of God and I did come with meekness humility...

Picture a man and a woman naked side by side, chains wrapped loosely around their necks attached not to each other, but to the familiar horned beast that towers over them. To others it appears obvious they could easily abdicate, however the couple does not view the same landscape They stay comfortably bound to the monster...

The only way to define it is Co-dependent confinement The earth off it's axis The planets out of alignment all this time spent in silence of my constant reliance I'm in need of some guidance out of your hypnotic trance at first glance the roads all lead to pain I'm too used to being a dispensable pawn in your twisted chess game what do you have...

I hang from the strings I tied to you that I’m too afraid to cut; too afraid to tug on when you can’t feel my weight. I'll cut myself some slack, only for you to pluck at them once more. The strings are thinning out; I'm thinning out. Please do not let the strings break, for I break with them....
