Get Up Poems | Examples

Light as I Get up on the First Day of Spring

The light is bright
as I slip from under the covers
yet the house groans and creaks
and the ghost of winter lurks
within the walls.
When I was a child
a teacher said
first there was light
but I remember
the night I danced
under the cover of darkness.
When I go downstairs
the sun shining through the window
shows clutter, life’s imperfection
as I slip from the embrace
of last night’s dreams
of someone I loved
but that was long ago.
I must walk through the clutter
to step outside and feel a warm breeze
and let the day begin for me.
Branches of bare limbs dance
in a warm breeze
as they wait to bloom.
New life, a soothsayer says.
A poetic leap, I say,
as I grasp the wheel
and drive toward the sun.

The World in Waiting

Dry mouth, air crisp, the snap on my skin,
Room dark, curtains drawn, I stay within.
Dare not check the time, I bury my head,
Excuses keep me warm in this bed.

Yesterday’s troubles left behind,
Today, my heart’s strong, peace of mind.
Coughs and cold, sugar in check,
I rise with courage, no turning back.

Pyjamas tight, it’s a lazy day,
Perhaps a prayer to clear the way.
Outside, the world waits, blanketed white,
And though I can't see, I know it's right.

Get up

Get up-
Why can’t I move?
I just need to get up-
Why can’t I get up?
My stomach’s churning-
Am I hungry or nauseous?
Either way I need to eat-
What do I want to eat?
Nothing, I’d just throw it all up and be empty again-
Empty, empty, empty, why do I feel empty?
Wait, did anyone text me?
Nope, my phone’s empty, too-
Where is everyone?
Check Life360-
What is everyone doing?
Why hasn’t anyone texted me?
Do they not like me anymore?
What if they’re tired of me?
What if they hate me?
All my friends hate me.
They won’t reach out because they don’t want to.
I should kill myself.
They wouldn’t notice.
They don’t miss my absence now.
They won’t miss my absence at all.
They wouldn’t care.
Who would really care?
I can’t keep doing this.
There is something wrong with me.
I want to kill myself.
I’m so tired. So tired, so tired, so tired,
And I don’t have the energy to keep going, keep going, keep going.
Keep living.
How am I supposed to keep living if I can’t even get up?
Get up.
Get up.
Get up.
I can’t get up.
Why can’t I get up?
How am I supposed to kill myself if I can’t even get up?
Get up.
Get up.
Get up.

Did you get up feeling sad

Does your brain ask why
See if you think about it
Last night I smiled cause I could hear her snore
So what happened between then and well now
Are you in pain
Nope
We’re you stressing last night
That’s me asking me
Well nothing unusually
Maybe we dreamed something sad

Who said that

From the meekest of shadows one of my shallows steps forward
Sorry I gave the voices
Some malformed shapes
Anywhys
Like Sherlock solving Artie Morty and his devilish plans

What sadness did you dream of
Which time your heart was broke

No it wasn’t that type of sad
More like a loss sad of something never more

Telling tales of heart

I call it old sad
something soothing about this sad
Like a chill in feverish Knight

One of Arthur’s less well known nights

A familiar sad
It doesn’t blue the days of rest
A warm sad
Just in its gloom

I think I will leave it at that

Our 'Get Ups' must become stronger
Than our opponent's 'Kick Downs'.
Never mind the times of our 'Kick Downs'.
Over time, 'Get Ups' will obliterate 'Kick Downs'.
The forces of our 'Get Ups' are greater than
The forces of our opponent's 'Kick Downs'.

Get Up Under Her

Written By:  D. Collins 12/6/23


Get up under your woman like she's under attack.
Get under her breasts like a hydraulic jack.
Raise them up to the highest peak they've ever seen.
Then, enjoy her expression as she suddenly creams.


Allow her to catch her breath, then do it again.
After that, slightly, slowly kind of stick it in.
It's like making Gumbo very hot when served.
Yet, filled with a perfect blend of spice and herbs.


Then, get real Creole and start making it burn.
Put cayenne in it to make it throb and yearn.
Inflame that woman and bring her to her hottest.
Get up under her as subjects do for a Goddess.

The Hopeful Light

Don't commit suicide, there is still a way
Beyond the darkness, there is a hopeful light
Push through the pain, dawn will bring a new day

Amidst the struggles, keep up the fight
Don't give up on the precious gift of life
Beyond the darkness, there is a hopeful light

You are not alone in this endless strife
Reach out for help, find the strength to survive
Don't give up on the precious gift of life

Brighter days are yet to arrive
Don't let the darkness consume your soul
Reach out for help, find the strength to survive

Believe that you can start anew and be whole
Don't commit suicide, there is still a way
Don't let the darkness consume your soul
Push through the pain, dawn will bring a new day.

Get Up P

Eyes open, Mouth yarns,
Arm stretched.
Yet,  my feet haven't touched the ground.
Heart beats,  Ears itch.
Still mustering up the energy to put my feet on the ground.
Sun shines in between the lines of the blinds
Feeling refreshed
Another strong day, 
So, get up! 
Another day alive
Get up!
No more yarning and stretching.
Now my eyes are open wide
One foot on the floor
The second foot soon falls behind
Reach up to give thanks to
The ability to still rise...
So wake up and stand up
No matter the stress
Get up and stand up
Walk strong and continue to
Do your best.
Even when it gets hard
Remember to get up and stand up,
And let god do the rest..

Putin Fell and Couldn'T Get Up

News: Putin had fallen and couldn't get up
The one who found him there looked down and said, "'Sup?"
He'd stumbled down the stairs
And it seems no one cares
Would I have laughed out loud if I'd seen him fall? Yup.

Vlad slid down palace steps on his back, lying prone
His bodyguards were there. I wish he'd been alone
Medics waited at the gate
Clean up needed for Head of State
His backside was a mess due to a bruised tail bone.

Get Up and Move

Get up and move 
Life can't be easy 
Expecially if you must live 

Nothing is meant easy 
No not any more 
In humans world 

It can't be easy when 
Humans are the problems 
Of themselves

So don't wait to be told 
What the time say 

Get the hell up and move 
No one cares nowadays

Questions Galore

QUESTIONS GALORE


Who asked you to suppress your dream?
When did you happily relish an ice-cream?

What inhibited you from flying high?
Why did you let yourself sink and sigh?

Where did you hide your beautiful smile?
Which chosen paths weren't worthwhile?

How can you let yourself to compromise?
Life is so short, didn't you realize?

Remember

Do you remember when you were silent,
I decided to settle for little,
You didn't answer me again,
He looked tired with me.

I realized that the doors were closed to me
In moments when everything was good.
All our feelings are already forgotten by you,
Then you were already with another soul.

Be friends with you when I remember the body,
When did kisses burn in the night?
Your soul has warmed me for many years,
But we are not friends, go and be silent!

I left too, leaving no trace,
Left without a single feeling
Love has passed and this is the trouble,
But don't feel sorry for me!

I must get up and go,
Even when I'm in a lot of pain
Just let me cross the street
And I will turn back involuntarily.

I am thrown into the depths of reason
Why I will never be with you
You're not the last of the men
I'll wait until I forget you.

Flowers Get Up Start Walking

Flowers are just weeds (are they not)
So who needs these
Unless flowers needs weeds to succeed
In case we maybe need their seeds

We though are all like flowers
With our own personal needs

We need a watering 
And a proper talking

So you my flowers 
Get up again and start walking

Trump Will Get Up Tight

Trump Will Get Up Tight

There are times Trump does get up tight,
And of him women have still run in spite;
Trump the terror;
A trouble bearer;
Regardless of being women black or white.

Jim Horn

Women will run in spite of others. They
accept the challenge even if from a terror
or trouble maker who really need an 
undertaker and found to be a faker.
