Walking On Eggshells Poems | Examples


Walking On Eggshells

Walking On Eggshells 
I’m not putting up with this s###
Always offended 
Always the one in the workforce 
Always playing the victim 
Troublemaker 
Just downright stubborn 
Treading on water 
Walking on eggshells 
Anything to set them off 
Push them over the edge 
Your fired 
Looking for the negative attention 
Feed their insecurities 
Probably in their 40’s and 50’s 
They need to retire 
Put on a happy face retard 
I don’t have time for this 
Childish behaviors 
Put your big boy pants on 
Stop whining and complaining 
Grow up 
And get to work 
I can’t wipe your ass forever 
Do the work your-self

Premium Member Walking On Eggshells

Tip toeing on eggshells with a shut lip.
Crack, I heard. At my back I got a smack.
By daft accident I step on one. Why?
For spitefulness, I screamed and slammed the door.

Walking On Eggshells

Walking on eggshells,
with left-over scratches,
Brave little chick
into the world hatches...
managed to scramble away with a limp--
those eggshells, (and mama)
did a number on Shrimp.
Fifty years after, mama's still kicking,
pecking Shrimp's feathers off,
when no one's looking--
Some of her feathers are plucked to the bone-
her skin is bleeding,
she feels so alone.
Mama, she swore that ol'
Shrimp was an odd one,
just a non-Certifiable, sad
Family Problem.
Why, Shrimp was a Horrible, terrible Liar,
such a Bad chicken, 
(and an awful flyer!)
But despite the hate,
Shrimp flew higher!
"We can't have that!!"
shrieked the old chicken, cackling
"Let's give her some
Chicken scratch,
and send this one packing!"
Shrimp walked away sad,
but then she got better,
She knows she's not bad,
(despite the mean letter.)

Yes, despite the hate,
Shrimp grew bigger!
"We can't have that!!"
squawked the old chicken Liver,
"I'll give Shrimp her
Chicken scratch,
and give her the boot!"
but Shrimp's feathers shine brighter,
now that she's flown the coop.

Walking On Eggshells

Until recently I've lived my life with eggshells under my feet
A specter in my mirror latched onto my shoulder
Weighing me down so that i cannot fly
My wings are broken, tethered to my spine
But I slowly shake off the shackles of sin
The weight of normality sucks me into a whirlpool of repetition,
Easing me into the lifestyle I used to know
It’s so draining to become a slave to your habits.
So i say this with all of the truth in my being,
Live every moment as if it’s your last,
Tell the person who holds your heart that you love them,
I know you want to.
Be reckless and spontaneous and wholeheartedly you
And live your life walking on clouds instead of eggshells.

Walking On Eggshells

The egg came before the chicken but some fool sat on it...
