Screw Up Poems | Examples

contact

wasting borrowed time
another screw up
ducking between doorways
haunted city streets

walking among ghosts
chasing the void
between neons lights 
and falling stars

beer and blood
a body baptismal
a soul revival
punks need contact

Sometimes In Silence I'm Being Paranoia

Sometimes, I dream of lying on the bed
Being silent, falling asleep,
Waking up and not talking to anyone.
I lie down and keep silent 
I think about what is happening 
Every day in my country,
In my friends' country and in the world.
Then, I want to screw up and down
Finally, flower gardens save and help 
For the first time in my life,
I saw a large group of hibiscus to roses
It's awesome. It's magical. It's miracle.

It took three words

To make me screw up my mind, 
bend from head to knee, 
to make my back hurt till a degree.

In that moment where I walked through the room, 
lost in walk but focused in mind, 
that short hi could be a normal thing but did you have to end it with a: ,,take care"? 
Why have you said it, when I made you jelous? 
I turned as quickly away as I stepped in, 
realized that I have lost saying thank you.
But even a single turn, made a difference in the event happening.

Since now I need to grapple, 
In the moment before I could've done better, 
In the past I could have loosen the leather.

dreary day

nothing but dark gloom 
thunders roars and harsh rains drops 
to screw up your day

Havana Syndrome 2

Last year
they told us
nothing 
to see here,
no unknown 
enemies 
there 
or elsewhere
with secret weapons
tuned up
and targeted 
to screw-up minds.
Now 
they say
it's Russia,
Russia, Russia
with secret telepathic
energy weapons
tuned up
and targeted
to seek out
minds 
of high level
diplomats 
and whomever
stands in the way
of a nefarious agenda.
Did they lie
last year 
or are they
lying now,
and why
hasn't Russia
if it has
such a weapon
tuned up
and targeted
Vladimir 
Zelenski?

Meanwhile
China is
suspiciously 
quiet!

Forgiven

Falling like a silver star 
Driven by love like red car
Slipping on the icy blue part
For you screw up breaking heart

Wondering should I go far
Pondering never have been apart 
Outside I’m fine inside a scar
Blowing my mind this love bizarre 

You try to fix it with a card
Confetti kisses flowers in part
Picnic time in summer at park
My heart thunders my mind sharp

Remember our first piece of art
Playing our genes like a harp
Birthing our dreams that did start
With children green esteemed sweetheart 

With pros and cons on a cream chart
I decide to choose not to throw darts
To not hurt you like you hurt my heart
Love is true for it we all starve

Forgiven this day my love you are.

Back To the Machine

The Capitulation of the Guardian
Surrender to our fate
Empathy selling me fear crying causing me misery
Is it poison that caught my eye today
Can't I live without floating on a boat in the sea
Diamonds are forever made in the acceptance and free speech
The tear in the fabric of life nowhere to be found 
This lonesome town gonna get you down
For the purpose of more than one chair
Is they're More and More in life than this cartoon
The access of drugs without it being a total drag 
Opening doors to different parts of my mind
If we could learn to get beyond the insecurities of  life.
Too be a finisher of this project called Earth.
Back to the machine
To the Galaxies and different Universes something never seen before
The knowledge to gain the birth of our brain
We people will screw up just like we know it'll rain
Back to the machine
We can save this planet and be what we were born for
More than procreate but less than gods who sit to judge
Do not disturb the message from above
You can knock but you can't come in
Our Rivers flow blood to our heart
The last grip we have and a damn
Good place to start
But stay back from the machine

Absentee of a Father

The feeling of doubt is when you have emptiness in your heart
Your thoughts when your brain won't function the sadness and depression is consuming the darkness from the inside out
It's when that someone who you loved so much just left and you don't know why
The only thought that comes to your mind is it’s my fault
I’m the reason he left cause, I'm such a screw up and a mess that he doesn't want me
His own blood, His own family just like that gone I keep wanting to talk to him but if I let him back in all the memories flow In and disappointment comes
The times he made excuses why he couldn't see you  and you want him so bad to be the father you’ve  always wanted 
For him To be the person to walk you down the isle but he hasn't been there not for achievements, dances, high school experiences, birthdays, and holidays.
You  know you  have to forgive him for what he has done for gods sake but does he deserve that
A parent who abandoned his only daughter
You have Brokenness because of him the deepness of my pain breaks me every time you  try to be happy
You try to forget him but it's hard to forget that your own father is absentee .

Wearing Make Up For Medical Checkup

It’s not okay a heavy make-up
Ahead of a medical check-up
And - please believe me-it’s a  up:
If doctor is handsome “a set up!”

It’s a patient’s right: a good make-up
Before a booked medical check-up
But some medic for sweet face “Thumbs up!”
While Mascara could a check-up screw up…

At last, somebody shall be tensed up
The medical check-up time used up!”
We should image what next might crop up:
Perhaps, one’s husband with gun “Hands up!”
Boyfriend “Smart Baby this game is up…”

Smart baby like a bridge to blow up!

Blank Slate

With each blank slate 
You test your fate: 

You screw up once?
Still stand a chance!
You screw up twice?
Comes with a price!
The fourth, the fifth?
You're screwed therewith!
Your strikes go on?
You get withdrawn
From taking part 
In a fresh start!
Despite all thanks 
There’re no more blanks! 

Chances you blew 
Will now screw you!

The Gift Wrapping

A foot large package mailed 
From a dear friend to me
For my birthday on October.
I observe and deal with:
Why this freaky gift-wrapped 
In the local newspaper?
The small card inside:
“Happy Birthday!”
And a well-known signature. 

Wow! I’m totally screw up.
Misinterpreted! 
Misconceived!  
The outside of an object,
The beauty of packaging, 
The clothing of people.
Why shouldn’t I focus 
On the true value  
Hidden in people’s heart?

Glow

Have you gone 
Beyond the bounds 
Of naughty wisdom 
To unlock the limits 
Of naughty reason
To finally screw up, 
To be delirious 
To be delicious
To be quickly disillusioned then 
Resume as if nothing had happened
But still keep alive the embers of 
Of our secret delicious love

An Actuality of Belief

What I love is the actuality of God
All day
Everyday
A fluid give and take
A being with God
Not just a going to church God
Not a God of scripture and things written
A living breathing every second of the day God
Call me a fool
What I love is my best friend God
My ..I am never alone God
I am accepted just as I am God
My never criticizing always forgiving
I am more than enough even though I am flawed God
My sees me as exquisite God
My hugs me at night and welcomes me into every new day God
My believes in me God
My God who is with me when I screw up and loves me just the same when I do something nice for others
Active, actual, ever here always laughing joyful God
My does not ask me to do anything nor rewards me for doing anything God
Because he loves me infinitum no matter what I do or don't do
Unconditional absolute acceptance God
Have you allowed yourself to really know him?
God

What the Outcome Might Bring

We are not about the
 Color of the skin.
   The substance of self,
 Lies deep with-in.

   We are not about
 Judging our neighbor.
   Or who you believe
 Is your savior?

   We are not about ignoring
 The homeless on the corner.
   We don’t judge if your
 A native or foreigner.

   We are all about giving 
 Everyone a chance.
   You screw up, then you
 Pay in advance.

   We are all about lending
 A helping hand.
   We support our
 Local clan.

   We are all about standing
 Up for our rights.
   Along our journey we
 Have many fights.

   We are all about taking 
 Care of one another
   One hand washes
 The other.

   We are all about helping
 A family in need.
   Even if we argue
 And disagreed.

   We are all about our Mom’s,
 Our flag and apple pie.
   We accept one another
 Even if we don’t see eye to eye.

   We are all about doing
 The right thing.
   No matter what the
 Outcome might bring.

Seductive Humor

Debilitating laughter
at the hands of a master
a dirty minded b@stard
who knows what he’s after

The ever subtle asker
he caresses and flatters
his clever patter shatters
cares that should matter

Finally, we moved to extract her
the wobbling girl from Nebraska
from a drunken fraternal disaster
and the junior poised to shaft her

Uhh, sorry to interrupt
Anna, pick her up her stuff
We gotta go home hun, get up
Hey, you touch ME and you’re f-cked

Hun, you’ve had too much rum
when tomorrow comes
if you still want to slum
you can still bed the bum

We’re waiting for an Uber
Are you starting to sober?
No babe, you didn’t screw-up
Ughh, yep, she threw up
