Problems Poems

The Weight of Adversity

The devil's presence looms, a constant shadow on my back,
As I toil and struggle, my dreams stuck on repeat, never to crack,
The more I strive, the further I drift from the shore,
My knees tremble beneath me, worn from the weight of prayer and more.

The doors that once promised hope now stand closed and grey,
My heart,

Premium Memberfree-verse of a childhood and sleep problems

There's a ghost,
since my child-hood,
seen them floating
in my bed-room
when I was seven....
They never scared me,
but they just floated
in repetition,
and they had this
look of horrendous
of torturous.....

I don't believe
as I can't ever feel,
when the seeds
never grew to boil,
and weeds take the toll
and neglect is a toil,
You tried hard and never,
gave up on how its severed,
my knife to

MY BIRTHDAY PRAYERS

Father God Almighty 
It's a new era for me
Thanks for all you do
Bless this era
So I don't repeat lessons
Let my problems be lessened.

Make a way 
Where there seems to be none
For that's what you're known for
That's why I'm steadily relying on you
I need your reply 
A speedy answer.

Do it your way
Before I try my way
So

Premium MemberNo Problems Solved or Solutions Sought

     Most wars are fought for nought  
         neither problems solved nor solutions sought 

     Thousands upon thousands upon thousands die, for what

Premium MemberShoe Problems

This limerick is about a clown,
who when shopping in a nearby town.
A mother with small boys,
said his giant shoe made too much noise.
Shoeless he shopped while tip toeing around.

problems

Biting the inside of my cheek til it bleeds
This is what my anxiety does to me

Waiting to eat, pushing back my sleep
Eating problems come back natrually 

Row by row, shelf by shelf 
Ocd impacts my mental health

Shakeing here, moving there
Adhd has me everywhere

Wanting to be normal just one change
But all these problems flood my brain

Wanting

Premium MemberThe intellect will not solve our problems, nor will it feed the soul

The intellect will not solve our problems, nor will it feed the soul with the essence of eternal life;
we often lose ourselves in the whirlwind of an extraordinary world that we do not truly see.
The leaves dancing in the mysterious wind remain unseen, and the grass untouched by our hands,
for we do not feel the

Sideways

You practice and you train,
you wrack your damn brain,
you push through the pain,
it still goes
sideways.

You’re up before dawn,
give it guts and brawn,
till the last ounce is gone,
it still goes
sideways.

You have all the tools,
and follow regs and rules,
like all the other fools,
it still goes
sideways.

You do it all right,
keep it in the fight,
hustling day and night,
it still

I cement my seriousness with warm resolve
I have sixteen horrible math problems tonight to solve
If anyone despises mathematics, it is certainly I.
Every math problem except a word problem makes me cry.

To My Children John 16 verse 33 Says We will Have Problems

God promises to take care of me and you.
He'll give you peace as you pass through.
He doesn't promise to take all problems away.
But He reassures us that we'll be ok.
He says weeping may endure for the night.
But joy can surely come with the morning's light.
Problems will come, but they will not stay.
While it's they're. Deal

UNRAVELING THE SILENCE

We were made to believe
that silence, for a man, is relief
so we bottle it all up
even when our heartbeats stop.

We were shaped into robots
sponges for the world's troubles
soaking in pain and problems
as if endurance was our fate.

But truth is, there’s no strength in silence.
It only comforts for a moment
so I’m unraveling this silence
to exist after

LiFe

Oh! What a globe of sorrows
Where troubles and problems morrow
And breath only but borrowed
Says he who sorrows.

I am alive, says him with tea
Yet sufferings and toiling graced thee with D
Death with silence he returns to thee
And Back to thee he wishes for pea.

Life itself prepared D for Thee.
With deceitfulness she lured D
And false hopes she

Your Problems Begin with You

I heard my God say as I mowed yesterday,
It hurt me but still it was true.
"The moment you tell me someone needs to change,
I begin to start working on you!"
If you think they aren't giving or even forgiving,
Then add those to what you sometimes do.
The way you are to love, should reflect mine above,
Forgiving Mankind

You have a mess and God has a miracle

In the Land of Grace
You must embrace the Word of God
The Promises are real and
You have the seal of Approval
So your mess can bring a miracle

You win through Christ Jesus
You have a mess, and God has
