Best Desperation Poems


Premium Member Overcoming Desperation
Desperation, draw me not like magnets pull
But once again let saneness possess me in full
Do not ravage me like a lion upon its prey
Block not the seeds of thoughts that come to save the day

Like limbs of a tree in the presence of a gale...

Desperation
Desperation
Crawled across my skin
Gouging out new scars
With it's claws of regret
And leaving fresh gaping wounds
Where the sharp teeth of despair
Sought to gnaw their way down 
Into the very marrow of my bones...

Premium Member In My Desperation I Prayed Unto the Lord and He Listened-
I was in a funk,
In a state of debunk
In a state of despair
Depressed and hollowed out
All I could do is just shout

Help me
Help me
Help me Lord God, Help me out
And
In my desperation I prayed,
And this is what God said
My son, my daughter Listen to the...

Monolog Audition For the New Sitcom: "desperation 101"
"I'll not hold onto scraps of paper
love notes folded origami
brain confetti from last year
I'll not hold on, (for long) my dear
I'll not hide secret dried up flowers
slips of some things 'till tomorrow
never sipping sweet fruition
for it seems, my intuition
proved me wrong again.

I'll not remember your...

Whose goal was to fierce toe the line.
But then he met Nancy
who's whims caught his fancy.
Now declaring her win is just fine.

Only five minutes can seem 
like eons to a man trapped
in an elevator with
his mother-in-law.

Premium Member Dark Desperation
Desperation,
	overwhelming
the only sound is
weeping, weeping, weeping

Dark shadows
	o’er taking, suffocating
feel it
looming, looming, looming

Tired and broken
	losing the battle
tire, tired eyes
seeping, seeping, seeping

Tears, soft and hot
	down saddened cheeks slide
onto heaving breasts, heart
booming, booming, booming

Remembering warmth
	security a myth
for now there is only
sleeping, sleeping, sleeping and
weeping, weeping, weeping....

Desperation of Money
The greed of money, has created so much pollution
and overconsumption, of the earth’s material resources
as money has blurred their vision, for the right solution
to solve all our problems, with the right logical thinking

All of this has given us, a lot of health problems
because it has...

The Power of One

Slowly shadows devour the day’s light,
The silhouette of fear draws breath 
From the soul left gasping,
A firestorm of fury gathering,
Like mists of plagues escaping
From an ancient land of sand and tombs
With locusts warning of hope’s starvation
To escort the darkness rising 
Turning pleas...

Chino Cim 91708
The guards said I couldn't make it 
But, there's one not talking now.
     He not talking now. 
They’ll find him in the morning
When you hear that siren howl. 

I've been running through the bushes, 
Through the canyons and the trees.

I'Ll Be Sent Straight To Hell
My wife and I both worked at a video game store.
They closed and we're not working there anymore.
They closed their doors because of this damn Coronavirus.
We're unemployed and no other businesses are willing to hire us.
We got our twelve hundred bucks from the Government but...

Fibromyalgia
As the circle starts, 

Storm clouds appear, 

Ahead of the road, 

A plenty of a tear. 

Muscles scream out as the stars charm the unbroken eyelids of the fit. 

Fybro has hit! 

Find it hard to sleep, the pain gets deep, 
Find it hard to...

My Endless Crying
My endless crying
I don’t know where to start 
 From a Present full of pain and little happiness 
 From my past, dark with too much sadness 
Few spots of light and little happiness
 Moments of happiness!!!!!!!!!!!!
They disappeared in the ocean of my sadness 
Remembering...
