Under Pressure Poems | Examples


Premium Member Got Me Under Pressure!

Pressure...is a lot like Lemons!

It can leave a sour taste in your Mouth,

Tho, it can also guide you down the...Primrose Path!

But...on the other side of the Rind!

It can also leave a sour look on your Face,

Till, it's heavily paved and becomes an...Eternal Highway!

Shoulders heavy and strain.
Thoughts of being proper in my brain.
Keep holding them up as they say my name.
This world cannot be tamed.

The weight is heavy and unbearable.
Weakening my tested status.
Making me become another Atlas
Painful suffering without a cure.

How much longer can I endure?
Feeling so insecure.
My life is obscure. 
Am I doomed to hold fast?

For I fear that I will not last.
For if I fail, I’ll drown my sorrows.
To relieve the stress, as follows.
By grabbing a bottle of hollows.
For my ever-unquenchable swallows.
Tricking my mind with thoughts of tomorrows.


I must not let go and for some, depend on me like the Apollos.
For I require more strength and inspiration to borrow.

an all-time high stress
sitting heavy on his chest ~
weight of a mountain

Under Pressure

To make a superb drink that is unique, grapes must be crushed to make wine.
It makes the meal even tastier when friends and family together dine.
To obtain the sparkle and brilliance, diamonds form under tons of tremendous pressure.
Success cannot be obtained without turmoil, loss, or trials in obtaining a life of leisure.
Olives are pressed to release their oil. 
In order to reach a destination, there must be a certain amount of effort and toil.
Seeds germinate in darkness before their flower and their fruit reaches out to the light.
Whenever you feel crushed, under pressure, pressed or in darkness, you are in a powerful place of transformation coming into sight.

Once the stillness comes into your life, the mind also becomes solemnly still.
When your mind becomes still your intelligence explodes finding unknown secrets from within that move my quill.

Cooker Under Pressure

Father wants breakfast
Groaning to find the settings
To high, four minutes, and on
Pressure cooker despairing -
"Now what? Eggs are hard!"


Grace Under Pressure

In places like this ugliness can creep in,eating away at your soul.
Just how far are you willing to go, said the man whom hides behind the mask
so what exactly is the question you came here to ask.

I have met people with funny ideas and they call it salvation
More then one path reach the same destination
I am not the type to speak in quotations, so will someone please tell me serenity"s exact location.

When did grace stop feeling the pressure.
Was it before, or after her dignity got carried away on a stretcher.
Now she runs so fast there is no way i"ll ever catch her.
So i"m destined to wonder around in dark lonely places.
Letting ugliness back in dragging old skeletons out of my closet all over again.

Under Pressure

Under pressure
Under cooked
Over grown
under fire
Under seen
Over thrown

Writing Under Pressure

Im sitting here writing under pressure/ my life is optomistic even though it getting lesser/ Im sitting here writing for tomorrow if this should be my death letter/
 I know I aint the best but I could be doing better/
 Im softer that a bunny but I can get froggy hard skinned like leather/ 
Im standing out in this cold written breeze with no sweater/
 Im swimming through oceans and flying through storms no matter the weather/ 
Im shooting up a dosage of true lies like Im the only drama setter/ 
I've been filled with wisdom of worth ever since I met her/ 
I cant be beat by knowledge only if I let her......ever since that day of fate I've been Writing Under Pressure....

Under Pressure

Here stands a man who's just about to blow a gasket,
he has far too much washing in his basket,
he never asked for such a load,
and he feels it's time to hit the road,
before he does something he regrets,
I wouldn't be placing any bets,
on him sticking around for much longer,
the feelings inside him are growing stronger,
by the second, by the minute,
he really feels he's landed in it.
And all because his employment,
takes all his time, negates enjoyment,
he feels that it is sucking him dry,
and he really has the urge to fly,
to get away from his wage slave life,
the daily back watching, for the knife,
that is often stuck into the unwary,
the workplace is becoming very scary.
No loyalty exists there any more,
I think a lot of people know the score.
A numbers game is all it is,
the bottom line, do the biz,
because if you slow down, there are many,
worse off than you, who to make a penny,
they'd gladly jump into your shoes,
and ensure their gain, would mean you lose!

Under Pressure

Hold your breath
Take a drift into the sobbing clouds 
Keep them away from drowning death
They remained under pressure for years 

The clouds can't help it
They must release the pain and pressure

So they drown themselves in sorrow 
Sending dramatic rain from bitter clouds 
Leaving tomorrow 
In the muddied meadow 

The brook took its toll
Around the valley, below the drooping clouds 
Piercing the land like a fish crashing upon a hook

The clouds are relieved 
It won't miss a single moment of bonding foundation 
They believed 
That happiness was the key to a mere satisfaction 

*dedicated to Kalona*
Flow along 
Be relieved 
Don't remain under 
earth's pressure

Hold on to your jolly requests 
Remember this, keep this in mind: 

Build a reliable goal 
And kill the stress 
Push aside suicidal pressure 

Remember this as well: 

Go to school
And learn to 
cooperate with the world 

And get ready...be well dressed
For the biggest decision in your life

Under Pressure

Pressure underground
Hungry stomach rumbling sound…
Oil drops raining down

Under Pressure

Pressure,
Boxing me into this two foot,
By two foot-
Space,
The thrill of the future,
The chill of the past,
None shall last.
