Best Distraught Poems
please my heart begs you stifle each false thought
i see wounding words forming in your eyes
spoken false words will shape us more distraught
than the swelled tussle we now realize
best we speak core truth lest we spin crosswise
i urge healing sincerity from you
not jabs to maim me thoroughly dark blue
let your heart tenderly engage with mine
that our fine love may strengthen its purview
of harmonies value in its design
My screams are heard in the middle of the battleground—I’m fought
Now I’m in grief and I’m striving to set my mind elsewhere
But I’m frantic and lost—deeply distraught
As I’m shipped away to a far, unknown terrain
I, arduously, breathe in—there’s no one there to unwrap me
On and on, the showering chilliness—never abstains
My life ahead of me foreshadows a future…not so distant
Sending delight to my frenzied soul—there’s some light to share!
I’m found—held as a cherished infant
Caught and Distraught
He got over his oval office obsession,
Left us confused after making confession;
In lie was caught,
And became distraught;
Do not want President position possession.
Pocahontas
Try to rid thoughts that consume our minds like that
Of desert plains.
Confined, by loss and pain we give way as our world
Begins to twirl upside down.
Trapt within the hell that we have made.
We fall with no ground beneath to catch our wasted falls.
Stare a mist dust that flows for that is where you will return.
what kind of moment is this?
it seems like a moment
of anguish.
i have babble endlessly in
captive mourn
the mourn in it perpetuity
like a widower in despondent
the despondent of my sand grandma
the grandma of my beloved
the beloved one in coffin fashion
It jolt of remembrance in any tramp
i made
the jolt of frustration
the frustration of sadness
the sadness of deep troubled
the trouble of unswerving
that built command of melancholy
tone
the command tone like a lion in rule
yet in sudden forth
i build a symbol happiness
the happiness that relent my
mind
of which if feels my sprite burns
tease the same with me.
ME
Loving, giving, caring,
Always trying.
ME
Contradicting, dissatisfied, lying, forgetful.
I
Easily satisfied, slow to anger, quick to love.
I
Afraid, fearful, often lazy.
Inability to apply myself
TRUE
Ability to acknowledge
TRUE
Confident?
Never.
Right, almost always.
Right, not to you.
Right, never.
Left, long ago
Left, too late
Who said go?
I didn't hear them.
So you tell me,
Where does this road lead?
Guidance? Truth?
Too big, too easy.
So easy, in fact, we couldn't comprehend.
Meaning and reason saw themselves out,
You should inform them
Before confused and depressed return.
I'm so lonely and depressed,
So many feeling I keep repressed.
Like being jealous, angry, or sad,
Why can't I just feel glad?
There are days I feel almost dead,
And crazy things go through my head.
Some days I feel so completely lost,
And by my friends I've been crossed.
This is my everyday life,
And also being a housewife.
I'm trying to keep it together,
I'm not a very good actor.
I want to feel so much better,
But I feel like I've been stabbed with a dagger.
I'm wishing for inner peace,
But my anxiety continues to increase.
I am trying to write everything down,
Like the fact I wear the crazy crown.
I want to be loved and touched,
Maybe even clutched.
Does anybody really love me?
Not really because I'm so needy.
Every day I wake up distraught,
Over a dream or a thought.
Will this insanity ever end?
Or is this all pretend?
A long pause
after my signature peel
of the spasm.
It was a broken flight
of an anguished
end in itself.
Retrograding toward
an apolitical fault
for an apology.
Illegal, soaring, preparing
to take a dive
in the pit of fire.
For a gospel truth you
take cloak off the dagger.
You will sell your nudes.
Satish Verma
* I just found out my friend I knew 30* years died a horrific death. I am distraught,, So if I don't write or answer for now, this is why.
Tears spring out of these distraught eyes
like a broken fire hydrant
I'm so deeply wounded inside
that I can hear an internal siren
It is a warning of my overflowing pain
there is no rescue mission
in place just the tears that
help it fade.
Sweet is the smile that cools the heart
it leaves pressure floating further behind.
Exude your confidence and fight the heat,
Keep hate from taking over your mind.
Or you will be damaged beyond repair,
Ruined by all the flashback moments it fills.
The feelings you share can be a nightmare,
If you make your life live by comfortable lies.
Despite the aches and how hot the fire gets,
Don’t let it bring you down in flames,
If the sparks diminish you with smokey threats,
You can cover the scars and amend the pains.
Eventually, the intensity of frustration will fall
Wipe out the irritant tears from your eyes.
Don’t let the heat of anger build a separate wall,
Joy shall replace your sorrow and heartaches.
Rainy days may put the frosty smile on icy fire
And passion for a moment will have the edge.
But those flames will only burn the bridge
And bring sparks in the air to view from afar.
Sometimes, i wonder what i'm doing here
Far away from my friends old and dear
Hesitant and reluctant to let go of my past
Which i can feel behind me fading fast.
As i sit here, fully lost in thoughts
I can feel my heart turn into knots
When i think of the girl who i once was,
Bubbling with joy and in a jolly waltz.
Swallowed by the usual crowd,
I struggle to make myself loud
But even amidst this buzzing lot
I find myself feel distant and distraught.
But even in this grave situation,
I see a glimmer of hope and satisfaction
Assuring me somewhere deep within
That i wont just yet give in.
Always be more to learn
Quickly adapt
Crushing timelines
Hard to keep up
No matter how much I ask
Still being back
Where I started
Confused of important or urgent
Cannot make a difference
When everything pushes me
In all directions
Pressue cooker
Waiting to explode
Need to breathe and cry
Not a damn I care
It is me
Facing trials
Hold responsibly of my mistakes
Hurts I know
Hanging on by a thread
Afraid it snaps
Like me loosing sense
Must find a way
Away from bad days
Stop being embarassed
Though I would like to run away
Facing them
Get over it
So I can be quickly done with it
And be chill
Able to know
What I am doing
Without second guessing

wilting in the setting sun
dissolving deflating
undernourished underfed
neglected rejected
unknown
a mystery
if any degree of pampering
can bring me back to life

I HAD A THOUGHT
I had a thought today,
One of many,
One of a thousand more.
I started one and then another
And another.
I had a thought
Then it forgot.
Then, I had a thought with
What to do
With all these thoughts.
Which one is better than the other?
Why this basket full
Of wayward streams
In search of a sea?
Where do I begin?
I can’t pick just one.
Would make them jealous.
Their hands held high
Wanting me to choose
I am confused.
A fight, I do not want.
Would lead me astray
I wish not to pray
“Take me, Take me!”
Said one.
“Please, Please,
I promise not to tease”
Said another.
I am distraught
With all these thoughts,
Should I give you one
Or should I run?
They say to give
Is not a sin
But if I must
I’ll give you this one.
The End
