Best Unhappiness Poems

Oh, unhappiness,

you relentless tormentor of my heart and mind,

forgive me for I have never thought to thank you for

your presence in my life

but

I have just come to realize that, without your bitter presence,

none of the sweet instances of happiness, I would have been

able to enjoy!

UNHAPPINESS IS



Unhappiness is,
When I fail your melodic voice each moment
To hear       
And 
Your ethereal caresses on my body I do
Not sense 

Unhappiness is,
When the delicacies your lips are offering
Unable I’m to taste       
And
The...

Once long ago 
You made the sun shine
Now you cast
A septic sulphuric shadow
You came and stole
My heart and my happiness
And interred them
In cold grey granite stone 
Days once so brief
Now linger, last too long
As we must sit
Separate in the same room
And listen to
The silence of...

Falling as heavy raindrops
Tears of unhappiness fell
In the reddish face
Wiped away with caring tenderness 
By an affectionate hand

Understand the reasons this feeling is to remain
      Negativity runs rapid, skin flushed with blame
       Hopes, dreams, and nightmares, are all the same
        Agonizing within all of...

Oh, you Happiness,

Do not look at me with contempt

For

I am, Unhappiness, your twin sister,

Who, without my presence, your name

Would be unknown!*

I have emptyness inside my bristling bones
Filled with sorrow, away, alone
I'm in between the lines of a blank paper
separate from the others, like a skyscraper
Does anyone lend out a hand? 
Does anyone understand?
Only one but he has reasons
to be gone at certain seasons
Will I ever...

Every moment of my life is a struggle
And I'm sorry but it gets worse everyday 
Tell me when will my exile be over 
And I can finally come home to stay

This place is not what I thought it would be 
It brings me unhappiness on...

I sink deep into the unhappiness of being the one who doesn't deceive you with sweet illusions,
I refuse to change who I am for anyone, even for the shadows that surround me.
I've detested how easily you allow yourself to be manipulated to accept everything you...

Anger defeats her
In every forceful breath
Speaking nothing...

each sleight is the haunt 
of some evicted ghost.
grieving me a life of greater pain;
I see pieces of people passing, 
drifting into the footsteps 
of another's future. 

I feel the rough sandpaper surface 
of the concrete bridge 
as I  prepare to jump. 
For a...

I wish I could plug
A flash drive in your ear.
I would wipe clean the worries
Hidden deep inside there.

I know they've been hiding
In camouflaged space.
Your very own virus
firmly in place.

Spreading infection
Every which way.
Squeezing the happy
Right out of the way.

It's time to recover,
Diminish your pain.
Pick up your...

buildings hide sorrow
stones will never protect them

Can you hear it?
Not that anybody presses so,
But still,
There they are.

Their obnoxious shouting,
With twitching countenances,
A purely inconceivable demeanor 
Consisting of nothing
But insanity,
Lust,
And overall
Ravenousness.

They used to walk,
Walk inside,
And back out again
Ever so orderly.

Gloriously gallant guards
Protecting the central base
Of their livelihood.

Now,
They scramble
Writhing,
Self-penalizing,
Wriggling with utter chaos
As the lot...
