Fall Behind Poems | Examples

Family

When winds are rough,
And tear at hopes and dreams
When days are dark, and nights are tough,
And over-long, it seems
When bitter clouds collect above,
And ache and break and pour
We'll batten down the hatches, 
Just like we did before.
You see, to me - we're made to last;
To wait, contented, warm;
To stand and know the past has passed.
For now, it's just a storm.
If you should fray, or fall apart,
In any where or when
We’ll always try, with all our heart,
To make you whole again.
But if you do fall behind,
And break and shake to bits
The day will come where you will find,
The pieces still all fit.
That's quite enough of strain and strife,
And painful days, astray.
This isn't at all funny, life.
Enough for now, okay?

Flipping The Switch

The complications of not planning on being alive run high, always running to not fall behind.

Algorithm And Blues

Gotta go to school it's the same old story
teach me a lesson would be good for me
learning all the rules five days of the week
don't fall behind don't think don't speak
gotta go to work it's the same sad story
get me a job that's sure to bore me
working for a wage five days of the week
don't step out of line don't think don't speak
gotta go to church it's the same sick story
wed me a wife who's bound to hound me
listen to her ***** each day of the week
don't fool around don't think don't speak
it's the way of the world the way of man
follow the herd don't say a word
all we can do is do all we can
so let's all dance to the same algorithm
everyone even you and me
dictated and played by the powers that be
me and you what have we got to lose
if we stay in line we'll be fine
and dance to the same algorithm and blues

Something Borrowed

Tick-tock ya can’t rewind
Time doesn’t stop or fall behind
Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife
Time doesn’t lose it runs your life

Born with a cry blink then you're grown
Chasing years you’ll never own
Gold turns gray fast and sly
Can’t outpace it don’t even try

Heroes fall and empires bend
Every story meets its end
Watches shine but they betray
Marking life that slips away

No bribes deals or cheat codes work
Time doesn’t flinch and it won’t shirk
Kings and beggars rich or broke
We all breathe time like secondhand smoke

Tick-tock ya can’t rewind
Time doesn’t stop or fall behind
Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife
Time doesn’t lose don’t let it steal your life

Be Kind

In the raffle
That is life
Strife is rife
Moral blindness
Snaffles kindness
But passion
Can fashion
Empathy
Rations for a while
Vile bile denial
Come on
Charity not depravity
Compassion
Turns
Guile, wiles & trials
Into Cheshire cat smiles
Sympathy
Shrugs become hugs
Affinity
Muddled huddles
Become
Cherished cuddles
Sensitivity relished
Pokes at folks
Now
Rib tickling jokes
So
Don’t fall behind
How
No need to look above
Refine your mind
Rewind & you will find
What
Defined Fab Four rapport
No
Don't push & shove
Why
"All you need is love"
Really..you sure
Yeah go on…try to be kind

Stand In His Strength

Pressing, pushing past the threshold
Beyond your once imagined line
Till you fear you'll fold
And that you'll fall behind
You have hidden reserves untold

Tests and trials you'll find
They will help us know
 Strength to break any bind
And our spirits will grow
Climbing high like the hind

So let the pressure flow
Knowing we'll stand just fine
His strength on us bestow
And trouble of any kind
Will never bring us low

Behind the Curtain

do we want to know what’s behind
it - it the show, the drama, the comedy, the crown?
roll the tape, blind us
to the truth of the goofs
snapping turtles, caramel
the lines deceased
irreverence released
do you want to fall behind
the line, congo style
playing the bongos
on air, blowing off steam
Ricky’s loving
her deep red hair
henna is just a trick
he does tricks
morality took a leap, why
the dial into sleep?
David’s herding, no one heard
the sheep.
the bees buzzing
the birds whatzing
the show a go go
look on tape
to see what you believe
no one
in tv land is dressed in virtue
it’s a really big shoe
Ed Sullivan’s size
throw the curtain
don’t look behind the curtain
memorize the lines
even prairie lines
so sweet and innocent
don’t analyze
you’ll be disappointed
don’t buy the book
it’s not done by the book
there’s a cover for a reason
don’t meet the action figures
they don’t bend
you can pop their heads off
they’re not worth
a million dollar man
Farrah Fawcett wouldn’t give
him an eye
it’s rich
his life’s unreal
roll the real
world

Victory After the Cold

cold barren land
plants have died out in the fog
long winter days with no warmth of sun
dreams I planted have died out in the cold
2 years of hell for this and that
for to fall behind him and her
gave my blood, sweat and tears
for to be back at the beginning 

lost all my hope
lost all my faith
i reached my heights 
i reached my patience 
a ray of hope, ray of sun
brought the warmth lost for years 2
"my dreams"- a product of my work and efforts
but a grand victory awaits ahead

Since You've Been Gone

                                     Since You’ve Been Gone.

 Since you’ve been gone, my heart has a hole, darker than arctic nights.

 Since you’ve been gone, my ears seek that voice which abides now with the choir of heaven.

 Since you’ve been gone, my hand now seeks fingers they once entwined, and held them by your side
.
 Since you’ve been gone, my body misses the arms that held it tight and our hearts as one shared the same beat.

 Since you’ve been gone, I breathe in deep the smell of springs sweet flowers and memories of your perfume once more my nose assails.

 Since you’ve been gone, each day is empty where once your laughter did fill.
 
 Since you’ve been gone, I still await the knock on my door, of which I know shall never will come. The pain lingers on, a kind of which I’ve never known.

 Since you’ve been gone, through tears that fall behind closed eyes the question asked, why you went away. You left so suddenly, many words wished, now left unsaid.

 Since you’ve been gone, while alone I sleep, I ask of him, you in comfort will he keep. Till at last no mere memory, but side by side through eternity we shall be.

Age Advanced

 “I fall behind the age I am, to keep as youthful as I can.”

I'm age advanced, but who could tell
I believe I hide my age well
Face makeup covers the truth
When one's lost the glow of youth
And dressing in up-date gear
That hide bulges that appear
I'm age advanced, but who could tell
I believe I hide my age well.

Would we? Can we?

I have said..I have heared many others say!! If I saw a sign.'
Or if God appeared then I'd beleive..I Yet in truth over ninety out of every hundred people (would not do what they say!)
They would still be obstinate..Even after such a display
satan knew and knows God is real..' Yet he pulled away.'
And humans are (pride full) so i'm important many would
Think that way.' I'm not saying; they are not' Yeshua gave
His all to save.' What holds more proof.? Than the Word
(Who made Today?) In the Fathers wisdom, he allows us
Each a test..We may choose? we may reject? based on the
Stages that we've met, each encoumter is unique.' So many
Truthfully say 'I have never seen or heard' so you see in 
That Way; He's very kind.' For what of those who are; were?
Confronted.' What if they should fall behind.? For God will
Not spare the angels, who had seen His Holy Face.'
I urge you just remain in faith' be most joyfull in your place'
Give to the Lord all ylour doubts and questions and be
Thankfull, raise up your cares and worship, for He only can
Fill us full, of every grace.!

Lost Am I

   Lost am I
Confusion consumes my mind
I can't keep up, so I fall behind
Always too late
I'm never on time
   
   Lost am I
I drown in uncertainty
I want to do right
But it always goes wrong
Nothing ever seems to work for me

   Lost am i 
Well losing I am
It's something I'm good at
Or so I've found

  Lost am I
This is a truth
I mustn't deny

  Lost I am
But f**k being Lost
I want to be found

THE KING IS GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

THE KING IS GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

For the rest of my life, you will never be forgotten
Every day I will think of you again and again
My love for you will always be
And that will always be a guarantee
I know with all the love in my heart
Our hearts will never stop and being apart
Your heart will always shine
And our love for each other will never fall behind
Whatever the future brings
I know all of my tears will disappear
I will always remember your big smile
It always fits your perfect style
In your very short time
I feel you were a big legend to our family
And especially me
Your life was cut so very short
For all of us in our lives, this was our biggest lost
There were always funny things you would say
It seemed like it was every day
You will always be in my heart where you will stay
Today and every day
We still have fantastic memories
Which our hearts will never heal
The king is gone
But in our hearts will never be forgotten

The Sign

I wake to find a scene unkind, 
on vessel I do stand.
Adrift at sea, lost, scared and cold, 
in desperate need of land.

“Why am I here? Where should I turn?” 
“Which course should I set sail?”
I try to keep myself composed, 
but all my senses fail.

Rotating, searching, looking out, 
no means to know the way.
And so, I drift with every wind 
more helpless day by day.

“Shall this continue endlessly?”
“Shall sea become despair?”
“A purpose there must surely be, 
a course to chart… but where?”

Then pausing, pondering, opening up, 
a prompting, “Look above”.
In distant sky, a wisp of white, 
a sign of hope - a dove.

“Set sail!”, my heart cries. “Follow thence 
until you reach the shore.”
Yet speed I’ve not.  I fall behind.  
The sign I see no more.

But all’s not lost. The way I know, 
if to this course I’m true,
then home I shall be once again… 
my mansion built anew.

Precipice

Who do I sing to when words fall on deaf ears?
I hear a stampede in the distance, calling my name
Do I not remember crimes foregone?
I am nauseated by clueless guilt and shame

When will it come time for me to stop running? 
I need not the precipice to heed my escape
How have I not yet learned to be cunning?
I half expect a miracle to take shape

Who will aid me? Those I’ve pushed away?
I choke on parasites that put thoughts in my mind
How will I walk myself back from the edge?
I fall into failure and I fall behind

Where will I go now?
I’ve let the devil take his turn
Why am I forced to go and take my bow?
I bend towards and audience starting to burn
