Messed Up Poems

SO MESSED UP

So messed up
Did things 
I now regret 
Things I can't mention 
Putting me under tension 
Steadily stealing my attention.

I wish I knew better 
I would have done better 
I wish I can ease on me
Without dismay 
It comes like nemesis 
Steady worrying
My peace of mind 
Leaving me vulnerable.

What you love
Others might hate
People live and die,
For

Life is one messed up ting

I've Given Up

I’ve given up on chasing stars,
On mending scars with broken jars.
The weight of dreams too far to reach,
Has stolen words I used to preach.

I’ve given up on morning light,
On battles waged in endless night.
The fires once burned in my chest,
Now smolder, silent, laid to rest.

I’ve given up on hope’s cruel song,
A melody that

Messed up but do not give up

Life carries storms and
A blaze of sunshine so you
Never decline your future!
You are a creature of time and
The reality of your fear can take you to your prime

Look to your future
Your past can’t block
Seasons don’t last forever
Things change
So believe and receive

Time flows from the future into the present
So cast your attention on your destiny
Messed up

AM BROKEN TOO

Guess am the only one who goes all in without being allowed to go all out,
Or is it my cursed fate that even a red card fails to discard me completely off the game,
Seeing myself crying makes me feel less of a man,
But babe l swear l was all in on you,

Only if l could

An Apology To All the Messed Up Kids

To all the kids that had it rough 
That when you were behind your home's walls, things got tough 
Hearing your parent's screams bounce off the walls.
Listening through the cracks, their spiteful words making you fall 


To all the kids that love the most 
Even though they weren't given an example at home 
Seeing shattered

I Messed Up

Sometimes I get muddled
A little confused and mixed up
I come out with funny things
and make everyone crack up

My workmate spent thousands on IVF
I was explaining this one day
but my brain seemed to go absent
and I messed it up my own way

I told my friends about her
My brain was running free
I meant to say IVF
but said

I Messed Up But I Will Not Give Up

I look to my future
I look not to my past
Seasons don’t last forever
They get repeated
So I believe to receive

Time flows from the future into the present
So I cast my attention on my destiny
I messed up but I will not give up

Life carries storms and
A blaze of sunshine so I can
Never decline my future!
I am a

Premium MemberThe Messed Up Text

“Jimmy, I have no pens,” Billy meant.
“May I borrow one, please?”~~Message sent.
Oh, how careless he’d been,
putting “i” after “n”!
The reply: “Dude, some things can’t be lent.”

Hurt

I say I wanna die 
So I cry everyday
I say I love the sky 
But it always rains
Got so much pain 
That just will take go away 
But I love myself even till this day
I’ll never hurt my self or give my self pain
I’ll always love my brain 
So this is to anyone who chooses

Messed Up Love

Never got the meaning of pi and thiter
Before I met the guy whose name was Peter
He untold the lie... both not a letter
Then made the sour pie even sweeter...
Said it was knowledge within a mathematical theme

Ride low and high in the fourteen seater
Cold wants to die he hands me his sweater
Removes his tie says he's

The Day I Messed Up Lu Loo Poem Contest

I embrace you…you hold me tight
Descending onto my grateful knees-
your genuine adoration still sustains
Bound by love and affection"
I sense your essence in the breeze
Saturated in loneliness were you

""A million fairytales tremble at us,
Sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection,
My alleviation found in perfection
As the tempest rages in warm rains
Fleeting into the ebon night; for our love

We'Ve Messed Up

Why do we accept the nonsense like we're all deaf and blind, like the rocks and like the night?

The world needs no description anymore, it's dark,  it's bad, it's not the world that we once had.

But we sit around, we're useless children and like we've tried before and don't want to try again.

I sit

I Messed Up

You laughed at my jokes
I thought I was being fooled
We conversed through the night
I could not believe its truth -
We fell in love, from the beginning.

You called my name
I thought too much of my image
We reconvened later
I could feel your heart -
We held each other, to few qualms.

You cried tears 
I callously walked away
We reconciled
