Survived Poems | Examples

YOU SURVIVED, and that's the perfect love story

What a beautiful story this is
a garden blooming after drought
when fire scorched the thirsty earth
and silence sang the darkest song.

You cupped your heart like fragile glass
let quiet wrap around your bones
not rushing past the shattered shards
but learning how to stand alone.

Slow stitches pulled from trembling hands
threaded hope through every tear
and in that gentle mending space
you found the soul you thought was lost.

No crowds or thunder mark your rise
just breath that steadies after storms.
You survived, and in that defining truth
you wrote the perfect love story.

I survived even after losing

I survived even after losing'

I was that girl, who was afraid of questions,

But life taught me to become the answer.

In the house where voices were suppressed,

There I made my identity with silence.

I broke down, but did not fall apart,

She embraced every pain, but did not complain to anyone.

When my own people trampled my hopes,

I bowed my head at the door of Allah.

People thought—"She has lost,"

But what do they know, I survived even after losing.

Every tear tells the story of my patience,

And every sajda becomes a sign of my victory.

Now I am not the one who was once afraid,

Now I am the one who is standing even after going through every pain.

I do not need the world,

I just need the love of Allah.

I Survived An First

It's a first of many I realized this Easter.
I had a first birthday, first Thanksgiving,
first Christmas without you.
Even though I thought I couldn't.
It was hard as hell, I survived a first of many firsts to come.

I Survived The Widow Maker Then Sudden Cardiac Arrest

I Survived The Widow Maker
Then Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Doctors Called Me Miracle Man
7/12/2024

A team of Doctors had accomplished, all they could do,
One told my wife, to Pray, Now “It’s in God’s hands.”
But he was telling her something she already knew,
and nothing would interfere, with my role in God’s plans.

I Survived The Widow Maker, later, Sudden Cardiac Arrest,
That day God had me placed, in all the right spots to prevail.
I live today for a purpose, and to God’s greatness I attest,
My life has become my testimony, for Jesus did not fail.

Somehow we survived

Who knows when life will just turn around to the unknown and all you feel is you being in an unknown world.
Crying out for help but all you see is darkness

The pain strike like a knife.
Trappe inside an empty cage.
In the darkness I was found with
Aching of a heavy heart.
I had to endure the pain and 
Forcefully face reality.

I'm sorry that I have to tell you this story.In many things I have lied,
I did as these are done.
In a cold grave I was lane,
I was nothing but cold
Breaks and stones decided to block my way.

I sometimes felt my chest closing up.
I tried to focus on the outside world.
I felt like part of me is missing and I wanted to live in the past.
I missed being a kid,
Being my father's princess off course.

"Change is painful,
Yesterday I wouldn't have spoken 
But today is different"
My head tells my heart.
That's when I saw the light again.

Restless Nights

My nights are often restless,
My dreams are often broken. 
The tremors are often heard, 
Within words not often spoken.

I'm tossed about in silent motion,
Until I'm cocooned within the covers.
The darkness holds me tighter,
Than the embrace of secret lovers.

I stare deep into the torment,
Until shadows come into vision. 
Every thought comes into focus,
But is spared my minds division.

The voices seem to separate,
My mind becomes distorted.
Every attempt at inner silence,
Shows every effort is thwarted.

As dawn slowly penetrates,
And every shadow has faded. 
The voices cause more confusion,
Than any I've previously stated.

The night survived my prayers,
Just as I survived the night. 
The voices filled my inner ear,
Just as the shadows filled my sight. 

These nights come too frequently,
I suffer, knowing what's at stake. 
So I pray for a mind as idle,
As it is when I first awake.

Hurricane Carol

A major storm is churning in the Atlantic ready to raise havoc on shore Evacuation orders are in place as the authorities have gone door to door
The hurricane center is forecasting the highest wind speeds to ever be recorded
Our beach house over the years has survived every storm, but this one is surely not to be ignored
We are leaving with a few items  and the clothes on our backs
Is this the last time we will see our house in one piece, or by some miracle will the storm veer off-track
We now leave it up to the powers from up above to determine our fate
We hurry to the car we need to get to higher ground before it,s too late
If the storm should demolish our place and flatten it to the ground
It will do nothing to destroy our fond memories and the people we surround
In the end, we narrowly avoided a direct hit, so the house survived to fight another day
The hurricane and my partner are both named Carol what's that you say

One Slipper Has Survived

We still have one rose crystal slipper
eagerly presented to grandmother once upon a time
by a prince of a man, who left during World War II
never to return

The Flower That Survived

And to the flower that survived
                  I do salute thy strength 
Through wind and frost, to still have thrived
Advance at any length

Though thirsty for the taste of love
                              You held a barren field
With patience and the stars above
Your will to never yield  

Though some might say of brawny fare
That therein lies the ace
Yet I say, through your gentle care
                           Endurance wins the race

I know the flower that survived  
Though faded by the sun
                    Thy beauty still to be derived
From all that you have done



Dedicated to my dear, sweet mother…
(Still surviving!)

If Romeo and Juliet Had Survived

I was warned about you lazy Montagues
Some Romeo you turned out to be!
You’re so flabby you can’t see your own shoes
Where for art thou?  Watching sports on TV!

Enough, Juliet, you’ve turned into your mother
With your nagging, complaining, and ceaseless spending
All you Capulet women just hover and smother
How I yearn for Shakespeare’s grand ending!
10/13/22

Middle-aged crisis is one topic which William Shakespeare stayed away from.

Winter I Survived

 "The earth has music for those who listen."

                                             quote _Shakespeare

Winter I survived and nature is alive,
the bees are humming in their hive;
soon the trees will wear emerald gowns,
casting off all the dullness of browns;
I love taking a long, long country drive !

Rain falling makes the forests revive,
the wildflowers are blooming and thrive;
and all around are happy bird sounds.
Winter I survived !

On my porch garden will plant and contrive,
oh, I hope my seedlings will survive;
soon children will be laughing in playgrounds,
Lord, your light makes all things arise;
I will keep beauty so my soul will thrive.
Winter I survived !

Fourth Place

In Solitude I Survived

People in the queue, ask me
Why do I settle in solitude?
I do wonder sometime, that the world I belong 
Has billions, able friends or foe. 

Do I must continue solitudes?
As much as I love hiking in wilderness.
In my dreams or in my conscious mind,
I rather find one, that could never let me walk alone. 

To me, solitude defines me.
seclusion is a retreat corner
Where my nightmare turns in to a burning oil.
Because,  I talk, I weep, I reflect, all alone 
Yes I survived, in solitude.

The reflection of my sorrow is 
My submission to the one that I am accountable.
hitherto, I doubted, I lost hope in 
Humanity, ever existed ?

Then I got back to the one that asked,
I said, sometime the four corners aren't always walled up
Still it is the dazzling star of all the stars. 
Gleaming through the eye of every colours.

In Darkness I Survived'

'In Darkness I Survived'

A darkened silhoutte
an apparition of rage
or 
was it despair

I feel this pain coursing through tattered veins
my cries unheard
is that fair

a violent whisper screaming 
terrible things inside my head
like bad dreams

those
eerie echos 
I so often heard
were voices that are dead

a memory from before

where I was abandoned
crying with tears on the floor
wondering why
I felt so alone

the love taken from a man
who has already lost too much

my ashen bones tremble
and ache

Tell me God

What will it take
To see this storm of misery fade
the inner chaos is often familiar
the madness reigns
before I join a vacant table for dinner
I feel this rage
seldomly quoted a winner

in violence I know
to silence a screaming whisper
echoing let there be blood flow

storming
like
clouds of pain 

tears bleed eternal

as
I am falling
to darkness a place I call insane

Will that be my atonement
an early grave
fearing the unknown
or
will I find my strength to overcome this apocalyptic rain

with my Queen standing aside my Throne...
