Best Edgy Poems


Defenseless

I am just a swollen bloated thing in this harsh world
Nothing here but the laws of physics upon me hurled
No safety, power, decision is mine as I am uncontrollably twirled

Under and over and across the sweltering haze
Never before feeling, always fleeing from the gaze
Now it is just me… alone… caught up in a daze. 

The ramparts have fallen, all is mis-aligned, broken;
The wreckage of my thoughts you left as mere token.
Untidy answer I wish was unspoken!

Everything, everyone caterwauling at me in my alien world 
Eyes upon me, I cannot escape from this demented gaze
Ears ringing from pain - from curses unspoken.

Slivers of Light

A thousand yellow and orange slivers of light vibrate.
Their heat permeates.
Slowly they glide into pairs and groups, singing as one. 
Alas, this solitary yellow light remains.

The others have no use for it. 
The loathe it for it is an abomination. 
Is it really that different? 
Is it not one of them?

It grows to detest itself, 
Its rhythm is destructively interfering with itself
The other lights for a moment survey the frantic,
They see not its abhorrence of itself.  

And If they could- Why should they care?

The Shining Gatsby

Are you concerned about me?
Yes I'm talking to you Daisy.
What should be done with him?
Our situation with Tom is very dim. 

I don't think thats true.
You only loved me.
Now stop with this vile spew!
Come get in my golden car and let us flee.

I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Tom!
And yes, next time I will remain calm. 
Oh look out!
You hit her- quickly take that route! 

So you think Myrtle's health might be at stake?
Well you shouldn't have run her over for God's sake!
Now you say you are shaking from this incident with the car.
Of course you are!

So now you say you want to be left alone...
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Daisy I have pledged myself to your own!
I promised to fight off every man, to overcome all hostilities! 

Daisy has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after you?
That I have signed a letter of agreement, a contract!
For your sake my whole life is driven, myself made anew.
But I will wait for tomorrow- then, our union shall be made exact.


Faceless Devotion

Is there anyone who would hear the dreams I conceive?
Profit, pleasure, protection - ‘tis all they know to love!
They would laugh at my hopes till I doubt what I believe.
They bury me deep so it’s quiet up above …
And I would forget all to gain sweet reprieve,
But then life is a gift I’d be unworthy of.

What in the end can one ever know, ever claim?
Does anyone understand the person, the concept?
Of the entire world I am not the one to blame.
No one wants to see, so all of my tears are inside unwept.
In the end, I must be the one who stays in the game!
I must be the one to myself accept. 

Once again my eyes are glued- the screens enhance
Before me a lie, a trick befalls, that good ol’ football
Oh YES! They care to make sure I am in this loathsome trance
They care about me so long as they can play me- their idiotic doll
Does anyone really love me, “unique”, in this game of chance?
No. The only one who does is this half-empty glass of alcohol.

Oh Woe Is Me

Woe is me such a poor man
Woe is me
Woeme

Woman
Womban
Womb an
Womb of an
Womb of man
Born in the womb of a man
Nature disgruntled
Humanity Confused
Unfounded Mind
On a WIMs notice.
Woe Is Me.

A Very Edgy Poem

(WARNING: very edgy)
(and also a little bit NSFW) 

This TV show is a really good show
It's such a good show that it had me commence the rituals again
The rituals of torment, the rituals of sin
The rituals of no sleep, the rituals of self-death
I am disgusted in myself
But more so I am disgusted in the rest of you
How can you live with yourselves after what you've done?
Probably the same way I live with myself
I hate you all
I want her to slit my throat then suck me off 
as I bleed to death

Once again I descend into depravity
And thus Death.

I Am a Cheeseburger

Sir! No Hamburger.
Sir! I Am A Cheeseburger.
Sir! Get a Milk Shake.

Investor's Edgy Feeling

INVESTOR’S EDGY FEELING

Numbers sticking in the investor’s mind
Always counting  increments 
Projecting
For a bountiful return!

But, 

She knew, she is
Counting chicks in un-hatched  eggs
Uncertain  how many of these eggs 
Crack out winners from their shells!  

Fatalistic she can’t be
There is no place for pessimism
She bribes her intellect with optimism
Winning numbers glued in her mind!

Hollow Space

Our universe is practically hollow space
Our dimension is made of hollow space
Our quadrant is essentially hollow space
Our galaxy is largely hollow space
Our solar system is full of hollow space
Our planet is lined with hollow space
Our structures are hollow space
Our cells are filled with hollow space
Our atoms are all but hollow space
Our fundamentals are waves- just hollow space
Our bodies are of hollow space 
Ourselves- created from hollow space
Our Hearts and Minds are hollow space
Tell me, what are you and me?

I am Humpty Dumpty, longtime pal
longtime pal longtime pal
I am Humpty Dumpty, longtime pal
longtime ago
I am Eggy Edgy cracking up
cracking up cracking up
I am Eggy Edgy cracking up
all cracked up 
I saw Humpty Dumpty, falling down 
falling down falling down
I saw Humpty Dumpty, falling down 
fall off a wall
Now that Humpty Dumpty looks like me 
look like me look like me 
Now that Humpty Dumpty looks like me 
all cracked up 
Now he's Halfy Deafy he can't hear good
he can't hear good he can't hear good
Now he's Halfy Deafy he can't hear good
till he's healed of wounds
Healed up Humpty Dumpty, looking good 
looking good looking good
Healed up Humpty Dumpty, looking good 
CHEERS the neighborhood
I am Eggy Edgy all alone
all alone all alone
I am Eggy Edgy all alone
off to Dumpty's home.
