Owed Poems - Poems about Owed

Stop waiting for the world to love you, for it never owed you that, Do you think you'll feel worthy if you win, accumulate, and prove enough? That shame will vanish one morning, that the mirror will smile instead of frown? Let me tell you something true: you're chasing ghosts with heavy chains on your ankles, We're taught that...

Used to be a team player Took a protective stance Learned they were advantage takers as only I advanced There I was lending my ear left talking to myself yet again I’m seeing clear I have nobody else All the things I’d do for others are never done for me yet still they would mutter we all...

...And what of my English background, when those damn Normans came to town, they slaughtered us, and left us ruled, by Frenchman with ambitions cruel! So Paris owes me lots of cash, and London owes me too, at that! And that’s not to mention the Welsh, they made me too, and suffered hell! I want that money, want in now! And don’t dare say,...

You hear it said a lot these days, “Reparations! Someone must pay! Our ancestors suffered, it’s true! For that we’ve come to take from you!” Now we could just point out the fact none of us were alive that far back, that sin can never be passed down, we’re sovereign actors, here and now, we did not commit these mistakes, and by no right...

Owed to Shannon Griffin; Ex sister in-law But only by our name, Also stolen by you, Everthing i will say, I can prove its true, You thought that you were owed, You thought you were due, You thought what belonged to us, Should all belong to you, You and steve must think alike, As Most Narcissist will do, You conned and cheated us, You led us...

OWED TO CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD Christine Blasey Ford You fill me with awe, I'll never forget What I heard and saw When you first appeared Before all those men - Spoke truth to power Again and again. You filled me with pride Yes - even with bliss, I yearned to hug you And give you a kiss. Riddled with fear, and Entrenched in the dark You dared to...

I spent five dollars too many at the gas station. I thought about the weather. It was oddly cool for an August evening. I woke up an hour ago From a dream that created unnerving parallels between he and I We were the same, I suppose. We hated each other. But not enough for this....

Ode to Steve, You controlling backstabber, you've lost control of me. You took what you could get, but it belonged to me. Self Respect, you have none of, So you took mine from me. You believed you were entitled, That it should all be free, You think the whole world owes, and you think your due. you steal from everyone,...
