Struggling Poems - Poems about Struggling

Why is the heart so confusing You’ve been told it’s wrong You know it’s wrong But you crave for them more Not even physically Just their presence is more than enough You give until you’re drained Wondering why you don’t receive as much You care so much Why isn’t it the same You want people to feel loved and cared for But it...

"300" But this won't suffice.. "It isn't exotic to pay such a price" How my sleepless nights and joy forgotten If this isn't sold my family shall be trodden The society seems correct when they say This "mere hobby" will not pay What special lies in these brushes and blobs They say And I like a fool listen in dismay "Anyone can sketch...

Do I know you? No. You don’t know me. How can you when I don’t know myself? You know that I’m wearing glasses and have a pimple on my cheek. You know that I smile at the end of your sentences but don’t know that I’m not really listening, only hearing your pauses. ...

By now my perception, so naive and derisive going beyond intention, should have changed; blemishes spoil this appearance, they are worse than any word said to hurt and humiliate with vengeance: sling no stones, no threats to shield! I got through many hurdles, they posed hard challenges... and struggling with life I can say, " I'm prouder than anybody. " What held me back was constant...

How long will I have to be here? I have been here since as long as I can remember Tried to move on But I am trapped to I am tied to you Fate and destiny doesn't want me to move on I am on a collar You pull me back It chocks me -...

“Struggling to find the words to say” Seeing the heavens tear open Within the twinkling of an eye “Surrounded by a starless sky” Seeing the earth light up in pink “Struggling to find the words to say” “When it's nine in the afternoon” When the moon stopped giving her light I see a child of shining white Who has several forms in light “Struggling...

A girl rotting A girl alone She is still for hours She is still forgotten A girl downtrodden A girl down on her luck She is drunk on misery She wakes hungover on woe A girl runs on decaf A girl sleeps away She is ruined by the hope She is stuck on pause A girl with thought and drive A girl without a way She is shell...

I've been falling in and out of love with myself. Saying I deserve to be happy then punishing myself with my choices. Choosing people who will break me when I finally start to build myself up. Getting headrush and falling down every time I stand up for myself. I've been thinking about my life and...

From birth he grew and grew, Growing up to a young man anew Though was not the same For the most he hoped in the beat eloped.

Each time that the rain falls, No matter the day, week, month, I see drops hopping from leaf to leaf and the cold wind gracing my windows; the sun always struggles to fight its way through the clouds, and I'm lying on my side waiting. The sheets become slightly crinkled, as they were, and the blanket covers me, as I lied, so deep...

The struggling man..... Rain struggles to shower on farmers land But still waits for a tiny drop The sweat drops became a sample for plants warm And creates a sweet corn Struggle with plough never pays you much Folk plantation songs make the rice sample to dance Your crops growth makes the country to grow but never fulfill The fantasy of...

I'm feeling so sad Am I that bad I cannot handle any stress Locked in a cage Full of this rage It truly is a mess Nothing seems right My chest feels tight What's wrong is anyone's guess Its not good for my health Reach for the tablets on the shelf The idea is not the best Grounding techniques applied I have nowhere...
