Get A Hold Of Yourself Poems | Examples


Always Step Forward

Always step forward 
There is more for you to gain
Do not hide in the shadows 
And be stuck in the rain 
Get a hold of yourself 
Be the beacon of light 
Continue to inspire
Right through the night

Down At the Station

Waiting Down at The Station to catch the 2:05
I thought I heard your voice calling out my name
but I guess it was just the chatter of the crowd or 
the noise inside my brain, my tears begin to fall
just like the Minneapolis rain as I climb up onto
the train.
Well I take a seat next to a window half hoping
you'll step in out of the shadows before the train
pulls out of the station and beg me not to go but
I know leaving you was the right thing to do I
just wish I could convince my heart but that's
something I can't seem to do.
I whisper to goodbye as the train begins to pull
out of the station then again I hear my name, I tell
myself get a hold of yourself but something made
me look up and there you were to my surprise!
You reached out and kissed me taking the seat
next by my side, saying, "I'm sorry baby, please
don't leave me but if you want me to leave you 
alone I will but since were already here why don't
we take that second honeymoon we've been talking
about" I just smiled and again the tears began to 
fall as the train leaves the station I think maybe,
just maybe you really do love me after all!

And Sometimes

And sometimes
I wonder
What you might be wearing today
Did you play your music
Obnoxiously loud on the way
To work
Were all the windows down
Sun warming your face &
Wind whisking your hair &
Super cool sunglasses
Don't you wish on days like this
You could drive with your eyes closed

Did you feel rejuvenated today
Starting to get a hold of yourself
And did someone come and trample
you down
Just after noon
Did you feel like a drink
But consider that probably wouldn't
Be enough
So you just sat on the beach instead

How many times did you blink today
about what time do you start to stink and
Did a memory just make you
Laugh or cry

How many times have you considered
Starting new
Trusting again, giving again
And how many times has that left you empty
Happy enough to live life
But not to trust &
Not to give

I wonder if
We would even talk
Daily or
Weekly or
At all
If we lived in close proximity
I wonder sometimes
How hard it would be
To be without you


Between You and Me

Between You and Me




It takes anyone to think that I’m naïve to what you speak…
But it takes someone special to believe the chemistry between we
someone special like you and me…
and this chemistry exceeds the rare species so divine,
a little more complex, making hard for you to read between the lines
and we’re always on cloud nine, looking ahead never draggin’ behind.
This chemistry between you and me 
flies high overseas and way beyond heavenly breeze
No wonder they feel blind cause I would too if I were them
not being able to read between our lines…
You said what? I repeated myself…..read it again and get a hold of yourself
We don’t need scientific terms for our chemistry
We’re way beyond terms with so much more meaning
It’s the meaning of truth and stability holding us peacefully…
Between you and me
