Short Poems

1. “Time Out”
In the corner I sit,
Quiet as can be.
Thinking ’bout my actions,
A lesson I will see.

2. “Grounded”
No phone, no friends,
Stuck at home all alone.
Regretting what I’ve done,
Feeling like a clone.

3. “Detention”
Sitting at my desk,
Watching the clock tick by.
Knowing I’ve messed up,
Wishing I could fly.

4. “Consequences”
I knew what I did,
And I know I was wrong.
Now I face the music,
And it’s not a fun song.

Medium Poems

Consequences

Temptations lingered, I gave in
And now I’m paying for my sin
My actions led me down the road
That led me to this heavy load

The weight of guilt that I now bear
Is more than I can truly bear
The world around me seems so bleak
And all I have is the guilt I keep

I made the choice, I took the chance
And now I’m stuck in this circumstance
But maybe in time, I’ll learn to see
That every action comes with consequences, inevitably

Regret

Every night I sit and wonder
What could have been, what’s now to ponder
Choices made, decisions taken
What led me to this place, so forsaken?

Regret is a heavy weight to bear
And I can’t help but shed a tear
For all the things I could have done
For all the battles never won

But dwelling on what’s already past
Is only a pain that’s made to last
So I pick myself up and start anew
And trust in myself to see it through

Redemption

I’ve paid my dues, I’ve learned my lesson
I’m not doomed to live with the weight of aggression
For every mistake, there’s a chance to redeem
To prove to myself that I’m not what I seem

I’ll take what I’ve learned and use it to grow
To not hold back, to let my potential show
For every failure, there’s an opportunity to succeed
To show the world that I’m more than the past I leave

Redemption is a hard path to take
And it will take more than mistakes to remake
But I trust in myself to start anew
To keep moving forward and find what’s true.

Long Poems

The Consequences of Misdeeds

In life, we all make mistakes
Some are small, while some are great
But when we cross the line of right
We must face the consequences with might

Punishment, a word that instills fear
The thought of it, we’d rather not hear
Yet it is necessary to teach us right from wrong
To ensure we don’t repeat mistakes for long

As children, we learn this lesson well
To obey the rules, or face a spell
In time, we grow older and bolder
But still, our deeds, we must shoulder

For every action, there’s a reaction
It’s a law of life, a simple equation
If we do good, we reap rewards
But if we do wrong, we face the Lords

The pain of punishment can be severe
It can hurt us both far and near
But it’s meant to teach us a lesson
To correct our ways and make a confession

Behind the bars, or out in the open
Punishment can leave us broken
It’s meant to make us see the light
To set our paths straight and make things right

So when we face punishment, be strong
For it’s a chance to right our wrong
A chance to reflect, to grow, to learn
To make amends and let the bridges burn

Thus, let us live a life of principle
Not just for ourselves, but for all people
Let us do what is right, and not what is easy
May our lives be filled with joy, and not so queasy

For punishment may come, no matter what we do
But let us face it with courage and virtue
For it’s meant to make us better, not bitter
To shape us up, and make us a winner!
