Taken Poems - Poems about Taken

What More Can Be Taken I came from a house where love never stayed, Where fists did the talking and kindness decayed. Where silence was safer than saying a word, And a child’s small heartbreak was never once heard. I ran to the bottle, to smoke and to fire, Chased numbness like peace, sank deep in the vile. Got locked in a...

O classroom once alive with gentle voices, Where morning greetings bloomed so bright and clear, I leave you now—stripped of certain choices, Unheard, unseen, dismissed through quiet fear. The silence came—a shadow down the hall, Erasing names without a single word. No answer rose to break the rising wall, No hand reached out, no empathy was stirred. The leader’s crown slipped heavy from...

When logic fails, something within me undeniably stirs, something that was always there, in the silent void, waiting for me to veer off, and let go. To stop thinking, start feeling, and open up. I shed my incumbent clothes, waded in, felt the tug of the tide, tasted the salty water on my lips, and went with the flow. To be carried to places reason could,...

You wrote me in scars. You’ve made me like this. You tell me I’m not the same as my old self— That I am something you pay for. Am I something to be paid for? I am torn apart by the way you treat me. I am crushed by the comments you pass. Am I not good enough? I’m weighed down By your words. You’ve...

The room was still when Power knocked— not loud, not proud, but sure. The Chair sat waiting, velvet-backed, untouched, and made to endure. The walls had yet to learn the weight of promises unkept. The carpet, clean—untrampled still— knew nothing of secrets swept. The pen was full, the desk was clear, the seal uncracked, unswayed. The nation...

A shadow clings to every decision, the ghost of every road not taken, whispering — what if, what if, what if. We are architects of our own labyrinths, walls made of could haves, should haves, would haves — brick upon brick of speculation, mortared with...

In a forest dim with paths untold, "The Road Not Taken" did unfold. Robert Frost, with gentle prose, Asked which path a traveler chose. William Henley's "Invictus" pride, In darkness, strength will never hide. "Unconquerable," his soul's refrain, Through trials, resilience does sustain. Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata" gleams, With timeless wisdom, guiding dreams. In silence, peace we often find, In storms, seek calm within the mind. José Rizal's...
