Determined Poems - Poems about Determined

With silent eyes, And beckoning cries, And apathy to see underneath, Began a climbing grief, Of what he once used to be, Closed the doors, Don’t let them see, Open the drawers, Find the mask to be hidden, And they won't yell ‘good riddance’, With a sword in hand, He battles like a dance, Shooting like a sparrow, With the precision of the arrow, A time in the nights, When...

Donkeys are known for their sheer stubborness; determination beyond compare. I see three "saints" for donkeys, nonetheless - Mary's transport to Bethlehem's square and Balaam's unique donkey, quite rare. Mary's donkey is not mentioned per se in God’s Word, but I don’t think she walked. Balaam’s donkey saw an angel guarding the way. After two beatings, he sat down and balked; and in self-defense...

I'm down on the ground, My brain starts to pound, It may not be fun, But ten seconds aren't done. 10 seconds remain. I still have time, To arise again, The timer hasnt hit ten, Time isn't my friend, 8 seconds remain. I punch hard, I kick, I choke, I feel sick. I try to yell, over the incessant chants, This is the last time, my last chance. Five...

My Crazy life as a pitbull/ My Crazy life as a pitbull, I'm labeled a beast/ I'm always doing nothing wrong but they always target me/ They always say I'm crazy, they wanna oppress/ This is the life I chose to live so I don't stress/ I'm solitary and reclused but not by choice/ I keep going and going and just...

THE HAZE Shuffle, I shuffle through the haze; Stopping just short of the light. I reach up, only stabbing with splinters the tiny fractions of time. It's this, this, this, and that. The pieces fall and gather fat-ten-ing, their bits at my feet. I pick up the pieces and, here, hold this. It's not that heavy, a...

she resigned herself to feeling morose macabre and melancholy determined to be miserable, was our cousin, Miss Harriet Holly. Focusing on wretched negativity, and all things bad.

Yes, you have fallen. It felt like a defeat. In time, you realize You still have the breath of life. Calamity has no victory. What felt like an enormous blow Brought you to your knees. Determination fills your bones, Resilience, your soul. Broken, but not shattered, Injured, but surviving, Gather every ounce of life you have, Take a deep breath, Say a silent prayer and Proceed! Chanté Walker January 18, 2024 “If...

Eventually, I get everything I want, Even if my list goes endlessly, But now, In this moment, All I want Are ur arms, Ur hands, Ur eyes, To be mine to look at I want something, That I can't have And it hurts Like crazy To fall asleep, With u beside me, So I won't have to pretend, Or dream, That you were here To escape This wretched, Twisted reality, With you by my side, All I want... All...

The sun, so warm today- last two as well after the rain storms cooled off hot humid days. It seemed the Fall had arrived; switched off the air, put on the heat. But Summer, smiling said, “No, not yet! Autumn stay away- my time here's not done!” ...

Three words to contemplate, Three words to educate, Three words to celebrate, Three words to navigate, Three words to negotiate, Three words to dictate, Three words to implicate, Three words to frustrate. Quality of life is what I want to talk about, Quality of life is what I want to shout about, Quality of life is what I want to warn about, Quality of life...

When you look at your reflection in a mirror, what do you see? I see a failure, and that failure is me. I feel like I’m stuck yet I pace up and down. My face is etched with a worrying frown. The problem is I tend to fester and then over-think. At times It’s so bad I feel like I...
