Best At My Wits End Poems

Tinnitus tinnitus, innocuous by name,
invisible tasteless, sounds pretty lame,
Ears hissing, snakes inside my head, 
Growing louder, causing turmoil in bed,
Room’s spinning, feel like getting sick,
Banging kicks off, rhythmically quick. 

Tinnitus tinnitus, pneumatic drillers, 
incessant maniacal machine gun killers,
Thumping smashing, trash metal band, 
Like rock music,...

Cried out in pain, needed to heal,
Nothing from God did I feel. 
Demobbed from the army,
In a terrible state,
Dumped in civvy street,
Where I had no mates.
Heart as cold as bayonet steel,
Me, Love God?  Get real.
I hated my life, wanted it to end,
No one there...

Winter nights, the darkness comes quick
Key in door, to an empty house
Jacket falls fast right on the floor
I stare at the stand, at the telephone for sure

There she sits, alone, unmoving
No blinking light
No message at all
From a lovers voice or even a call from the...

Santa, I do confess
I feel a little bit strange
A middle aged man sitting on your knee
Whispering into your ear, my grandest wish
Let us both hope people do not get the wrong idea here
I am at my wits end Dear Santa
All I want for Christmas
Is for...

Rolling through a bloody mess,
my master died alone no less.
His mercy was indeed a lie,
he said I lived but now will die.

His hand was swift with a mighty stroke,
within a thought my life was broke.
Oh how I lived, and he knew not,
but now I lay...my...

She’s doing my head in; I'm at my wits end
I reckon she’s losing the plot
Her tempers are fierce and her moods have no trend
And I’m struggling to deal with the way that she’s got

She gives me no warning of what is in store
And erupts at...

I saw a man holding up a sign,
It read, please help me I have'nt got a dime.
I stopped to talk to him as he stood on the street.
he said please help me I have nothing to eat.
My heart felt heavy as I saw him cry,
I...

When I was young and hearty,
I once sowed a measly seed,
And saw with awe
the paltry seed grow into
a beautiful flowering tree
permeating all around
sweet fragrance
pleasing to the soul.

I likewise sowed
a shiny silver dollar,
And with bated breath
waited to see if it grows
into my dream tree:

A tree with...

When you see me cry don't be afraid
Sometimes dads emotions overflow
I know you wonder what's going on
There are things we don't want you to know

Perhaps we're wrong to insulate you
As parents we try to do what's right
We wish for you only sunny skies
That's why we...

I finished my Chinese meal all at once
 and stared at the cookies like some sort of dunce.
 
When I read my fortune I did not understand
 from the small piece of paper, I held in my hand.
 
It said that my next days wouldn't...

be it spiritually, financially or physically be it in a relationship with family or friends

ready to throw in the...

From inside myself I feel in humility
That wondrous sense of awe within my mind,
A special transcendence into tranquillity.

My memories rise to the surface to remind,
I’ve lost reality in the silence.
Travel through recollections of the past to find

My childhood, that distant, sweet time of innocence
Never alone,...

How does someone do that
just pretend to care
mess with someones mind 
then just disappear

Just stay away unless 
well unless you really care
stop messing with me please

I could never hurt someone
never like that
messing with the mind
that is criminal with intent

don't you feel guilty or
do you feel...

I Had Nowhere to Go…  But God!

Lost and lonely, I was often bewildered.
There were life’s problems I shouldered.

I was empty inside and at my “wits end.”
There was no one around when I needed a friend.

I thought about “ending it all.”  I had nowhere...

the clock speeding away every tock is a  slap in the face
1am and then 2am and yet your nowhere to be seen 
worry eats at me like a moth to a cloth and anger is deep with in
the fire of it just waiting to...
