#stubborn poems on Hello Poetry

Adelaide Heathfield Feb 2018

a polkadotted
napkin
full of problems
tied to a stick
slung across
my shoulder

strutting
stubbornly
from one place
to another

never questioning
why I bother
meandering
all over

a runaway
to sunny beaches
gloomy cities
far off reaches
of far earth

with stars poured
in my eyes
and hard-earned
pennies in
my purse

hoping that
this time will
be different

it couldn't
be worse

?

Ever the escapist. Seeing new places with rose-colored glasses. Believing that everything will be better "over there". But forgetting to deal with my problems before I leave.

Love Long Gone

We were too young from the start.
And damaged deep early on.
And my muddled, stubborn heart
kept faith in a love long gone.
Seven years dragged on, of course we fell apart.
A love nothing more than a lingering ****.

Gave In

My friend was stubborn,
There was a major misunderstanding.
Everybody knew I was right,
She would not budge,
So I gave in,
I turned left.
But I said,"If I am wrong
Forgive me,
If you feel you are wrong,
Ask Allah to forgive you."

It does not pay to be stubborn.Allah sees all.

Reoccurring malfunctions

My body is nothing but an empty shell with echoing thoughts bouncing off my inner flesh.
At difficult times or when under the influence my body will malfunction and do stupid things and my brain will try everything it can in its power to try and tell me not to do things, that I'm going to get hurt. My shell will not listen to anything may it be that it is to stubborn. It does what it wants oblivious to its surroundings until it gets hurt. By the time my brain gets a hold of things it's to late. Look what I've done now. I did something I shouldn't have done. Seen things that weren't meant to be found and heard things that weren't meant to be spoken.

I had this thought for a while I found it in my notes lol if I had written it when I had the idea it would have been better..

stray ember

A lone stray ember
I cannot rekindle
But no matter
how hard I stomp on it
refuses to be put out.
Stubbornly, obstinately
it keeps on glowing.

Stubborn

Yeah, I want you
But I can't have you
So I want you more..

and more... and more
Heard from the song Minimize.

Stubborn Love
We chase, we want
What we can't grasp
We hold, we grab
Whatever chance
Even a little attention
Even a little affection
From people we like
But don't like us back

Me and You

My love for you will never die but yours died long ago.
My heart and Mind
are in battle every day,
but yours won time ago.
My emotions are like the weather, always noticeable,
yours, are like a Tsunami,
before you realize
what's going on its to late.
My thoughts are killing me.
Your thoughts?
You have none.
I am nothing to you.
My trust? Forever yours.
Yet you have no trust for me.
My body and soul, every inch of my body is yours. I am entirely devoted. You? She is yours.
I
am
Nothing
To
U

Push Me Again, baby

pushed to the edge
I met the swords blade
with a devilish grin

I am not afraid
