Struggles Poems - Poems about Struggles

People say as I get older, I become more calm Enjoy the peace I never liked that kind of peace Bad luck when you are young Always struggling to survive Just thinking about doing things Use one day as several days Now I'm older, It's time to get some free time But my heart feels empty No matter if you take care of the children and...

In the hallways where whispers cut deep like a knife, I walk with my head down, hiding my strife. You're just thinkin' it's a small thing that happened, But the world ended when it happened to me, unwrapped and unfastened. Each taunt and each jeer, they echo and cling, A...

Verse 1 His coat is torn his shoes are thin The cold cuts deep beneath his skin Little boy coughs small hands that shake Winter's breath is much to hard To hard to take. Verse 2 Sidewalk echoes silent prayers People pass but no one cares Cardboard kingdom borrowed time Every step is a mount- Mountain climbed. Chorus And the city turns away Like they...

Two cats saw the end of the world. Both felt its pain— They hid in alleys, Keeping the shadows at bay, But the visions that haunted them, Still remained. Both found homes, Comforting and fulfilling— Yet both dealt with the end of the world— So differently. One saw it as a reminder of death. All would shrivel, Nothing would remain, Everything would be replaced by pain. The other, Saw it...

Kitsch, give me a Sign To go It’s kinda funny how life goes on While you sit in a corner all alone The saturday blues are real, To Your Shoes Weighing You down like stones On your foot And the Crinkle cuts of the eyes Are a beshrew Aging, as they call it, In action, A sequence “Folds aren’t...

Living in a false vision,while creating illusions of bad decisions.In my past when my footsteps became ashes,I was stealing for others who really need it.I position myself in danger countless times for strangers with smiling faces who take advantage of kindness,weakness,and talents.But now that Im polished in my craft,Im well balanced surrounded with solid knowledge...

Moses is dead.' For the Lord buried him, all who live under The Mosaic law.' Are awaiting death.' Not just death of the Body.' That is all our lot.! Yet a spiritual death to be ripped Away from God.' Torn as are your garments .' A sign of loss A sign of sadness.' Yet in God is fullness of...

Life’s a road with twists so steep, Nights so long and hills so deep. Storms may rage and winds may roar, Leaving you with doubts you can't ignore. Dreams may shatter, plans may fall, Hope feels distant, weak, and small. Every step may bring you pain, Yet the sun will shine again. Tears may flow, but let them be, They will wash your soul,...

No one knows how much you’re struggling until it’s too late, when the weight of it all is a shadow too heavy to carry. No one understands how hard it is to speak the unspeakable, to let the words fall like fragile glass shattering across silence. Your pain is a quiet echo, a storm that no one hears until it’s raging. Your feelings are a tangled mess, each thread...

In the depths of my soul, an ocean of tears struggles, Walls of thoughts collapsing like sandcastles, I look at myself in the mirror and see a shadow of what I once was, A landscape of melancholy that knows neither rest nor respite. This world, a carnival of masks and blinding lights, Where truth hides beneath thick layers of false...

Cory swore off the needle, did his best for a while to keep his beasts at bay, but @ thirty years old he gave in one more time, and death quickly came to snatch him away If you play in a viper pit, can't be surprised when you get bit Best not to test it, and on...

We all have a story to tell mines just deeper than a well and painful than a birth of a new born baby. Anxiety and fear almost caused my own demise making me more susceptible and vulnerable to dangerous thoughts of self destruction. As the burden of life held me down in a chokehold I laid helpless and relentless unable to escape its wrath. And each time I try...

“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” - Plato In the shadows where nightmares thrive, courage falters and struggles to survive. Where the cries of innocence fall unheard, and darkness engulfs without a sound. Sex traffickers, predators invisible, prey upon the vulnerable, a nightmare’s dream. Still, in the face of fear we hesitate, lacking...

I'm a little too much, or at times not quite enough, I'm too sensitive, too distracted or at times just too tough. I'm too in my head, or say hurtful words without thought, I'm super focused on the ball, and then suddenly, energy's at nought. I either notice it all, or see very little I can be softly spoken...

Unwanted,as a sheet of used tissue paper, Born from someone who is a life giver and shaper, In a world where respect comes from only a few, Her rewards for struggles will always be long due. She wondered about the reason for less affection, Wasn't she working towards perfection? She too had a right to fulfill her parents' dreams, Wasn't she...
