Nerves Poems - Poems about Nerves

We can no longer continue as we are, souls weary from nerves, creatures grinding their lives in worries, fearing death because they have never truly lived. We have lost ourselves in the maps of days, searching for treasures that do not shine under the sun, and we have forgotten how to sip from the morning as from a...

Woke up and read David Kavanagh's entry to this contest. Then couldn't stop thinking of two line quotes and keep thinking of another every few minutes... I should actually have 1 more hour of sleep So far I have - The kaleidoscopic nature of truth Substitutes refrains whilst maintaining eye contact (Used this one for contest) If...

Will I be left here? My heart beats with fear, my nerves and sweat smear. Does he look at me, should I look to see? No, then hope might fade. I want plans I made to stay as dreams bade. This process is rude, hurts one’s attitude, shows no latitude … Has he eyed me yet? Man, my palms are wet. Wish I were all set. Please let...

Audacity has a negative connotation That I despise with a conspicuous passion It’s fine for somebody to be bold And not to be too arrogant and cold Where narcissistic images or horns emerge Like insatiably bad worms that nothing can purge.

The cold gates of the blazing seventh circle again open for one before another, The mouths of the ground remain ajar to snatch before heaven has barely given; While the wind still thirsts for his breath. As far as prayers go, I like mine hushed, with my lips barely begging to be seen. I tuck my tongue underneath my tongue, and play...

"Suiting myself", weird expression Giving the totally wrong impression I wouldn't select me to take off the shelf Weird expression, "suiting myself" "Do what I want", is that a choice If I'm doing that I really should rejoice Why am I not feeling all nonchalant Is that a choice "do what I want" I'll talk it through, to feel better Also send my pen...

Snacking on seaweed and banana today To see if it improves my mood Hopefully my vitamin investment will pay And my perspective will become unskewed My busy brain has ceased to be I'm currently numb instead I'd love to imagine it's because I'm free But believe it's another trick of the head I've set myself a couple of tasks The library and a hair...

Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow You’ve reached the end, now time can cease How we got here, don’t ask me how Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow Accomplished as much as days would allow Your loose ends are tied, be at peace Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow You’ve reached the end, now time can cease...
