Best World Of Hurt Poems


Things I Have Learned

Don’t take a walk after a large glass of tea

If someone says, “sure take as many as you want” 
They probably don’t mean it

Darling you are sooo sweet I could never get angry with you,,,okay this one is self 
explanatory

One size fits all-ohh puleeese

Help yourself to anything in the kitchen,,I really thought I meant it

Going 65 through a curve marked for 45 is just stupid, but exciting

Feelings are fickle

When in doubt, a sincere look and slow shake of the head seems intelligent

 It will only take a minute,,,,yeah well Im countin by the long hand not the short one

If you climb that high are you sure you can get down, sure on the way
Up is different then sure at the top

Being really cold and getting into a hot shower and feeling
The warm water melt through you is better than sex,,,,okay its been a long time

The second time around is better

It will only hurt for a minute, then let me pinch you until it stops

Make up covers a world of hurt, but then it goes in the cracks and your
Face looks like a drought hit it

Friends that will laugh with you, cry with you, and never give up on you are
~priceless~

Wisdom comes from practice not from age

A good mood is a choice, okay most of the time

A snack to a teenager can be the roast you cooked for dinner

When you fuss at your kid then sit down and find no 
Toilet paper,,,,there’s a problem

How Shall I Write For You Tonight

How shall I write for you tonight

when the words don't seem to flow?

I could write about the moon and the stars

and how, to you, they don't compare 

 to those starry caramel eyes

 that look deep inside of me 

 wrap around my sated heart

and fill my life with glee

I could write about your killer smile

that brightens my every thought

that gives me strength to carry on

when sad or when distraught 

I could write about your compassion 

your powerful soul or your caring heart 

I could tell you how much I love you

and how we'll never be apart 

I could verse a poem about

how I admire who you are

 your virtues, values, giving of your time

what you stand for or

 how I'm proud to call you mine

 I could write a song that would praise

your love of God

 the less fortunate,

His children

and all of those in need.

How can I possibly write 

a worthy poem that sings

praises high enough of you

when all you do 

 seems right and just

and your intentions are so true.

Tonight I'll try to write my sweet

of one who strives to rid the world of hurt

So I'll close my eyes and picture you

and hope I find the words

Fibromyalgia

No one knows the pain and struggle
we go through every hour of every
day 
We are survivors that most others
can definitely truly never say 
Our daily lives have been changed 
in every possible insane way 
Together we can make a stand 
and educate and advocate for
Fibromyalgia pain
No living being should be 
in a world of hurt and strife
We ALL deserve to live the BEST
and productive life
If you have no suffering and each 
day you awake like new 
Fall to your knees and thank GOD 
above for  being you
Don’t look at someone's outer 
cover and think they don’t look
like they are in pain
Pain can be masked with a smile,
its not always with a limp and a cane 
Be caring and understand that we all
are different and not all the same 
To a person hurting and hiding it all Inside, it's such a shame

Cliche Heaven

Cliche Heaven

Be it as it may I'll try my hand at some clichés
    and address the elephant in the room soon when pigs fly.
It’s a win- win situation, put your game face on, work the crowd
   as we wrap our heads around comparing apples to orange.
We are all data driven, with an ace in the hole, stick a sock in it
   while stepping  up to the plate and  peeling back the onion
 and easily hit it out of the ballpark with a world of hurt.

Be my team player, run with this, my agent of change  
  but don’t throw me under the bus as you think outside the box.
We can touch base later seeing where the rubber meets the road
  and put boots on the ground, a perfect storm, deal with it.
Here’s my two cents,  if it works  I'll go off the beaten path
    driving route 66 on the road not taken when it’s up for grabs,
     and taking a walk in the sun, learning the new math.

That said,  don’t  put me out to pasture,  wait for it,  
  there’s no sign of my slowing down,  its going viral.
These are the signs of the times, take the bull by its horns,
   It’s a brave new tomorrow and all bets are off.
Don’t  force my hand to be up close and personal
  I’m a rebel without a cause and  to die for.
   Don’t get bent out of shape raising the bar in the winds of change
    There’s something for everyone, just another babe in the woods.

Stay tuned, like, duh, as a matter of fact, at the end of the day,  
  it’s a last ditch effort as you live and learn the luck of the draw.  
Pay it forward, that’s the ticket, give and take, get a wake up call,
 same song and dance, say what you will, you’re as sharp as a tack.
It’s all smoke and mirrors, just splitting hairs to reinvent the wheel 
 and walk the red carpet for a quick buck to pay as you go
 Heaven help us, 
I believe there's an app for that.

A Place In Time

in the masquerading dawn
sun rising slowly across the lawn
all the dreams from the night before
don’t really matter anymore

coffee clears my foggy brain
and those old thoughts that still remain
warmed by rays of a new day
cold to the bone by months of rain

how do I sort out the truth?
all that begins and ends with you
am I all or just a place?
a place that holds a tiny space

you swear I am the only one
been that way since we’ve begun
you build on lines that worked before 
still ajar is the  backdoor

an ace stuck in a ticking spoke
on the road to never ending hope
too little pay for so much work
a heart that hides a world of hurt

On Best Behavior

On Best Behavior 

Stock market pervert
Ended up loosing our shirt
In a world of hurt.

Am incompetent
Tell me what you may have meant
How much money spent

May be in big hurt
All of us have lost our shirt
Missed out on growth spirit.

Declare an edict
What will I have to predict
Which won't make you sick.

Now where should we go
Those who will be in the know
Who had told us so.

What will make things worse
None of it did we rehearse
Now curse after curse.

What will great God do
And were so sad when we knew
Have been in a stew.

Why should we waiver
We are all a Christ craver
Who is our savior.

I Have Always Loved You

For my wife Marcia,

I have always loved you

I have always loved you
Before there was a way 
After there was no way
I have always loved you

Before there was the rain
At first sight, first light
Through the darkest night
After all the pain

When there was no sign
And turning away
We did not stay
And there was no time

I have always loved you
Through the world of hurt
Above mountains and in the dirt
I have always loved you

Before you were woman
The world reborn
In you’re eyes and in your form
And I not yet man

Dave Somerset 6/4/2015

Voice Inside My Head

'twas in a room in Blandford, on a bright spring day
When a voice within my head a whispering, whispering to my dismay
For the voice grew from a whisper , and it would not go away
The voice was dry and eerie, Like demons from the days of yore
So I was emboldened and challenged, what want est from me thou this day
And the voice replied sadistically, I'm here to take you away

Now you have read of the raven, from the pen of Edgar Allen Poe
And i'm a relative of the raven, and our lord wants you to know
That poets like you, increase the spirit of mere mortal men
So i'm here to maybe frighten, even more to stop you writing
And to even stop thee from creating hero's, like the poets from days of yore
If to stop thee I must kill thee, then I am willing for its a dead I have accomplished before

As the evil voice was cackling, my mind aghast was flapping
Wondering if today would be my last, and if I was bound for Hades shore
Then a voice so soft and tender, cried out spirit I demand your surrender 
And I looked and saw a hero, straight from Thermopalies  blood red shore
Stood with shining sword and shield, it was a warrior from Spartan lore
and the voice in my head quietened, and I knew I was safe for sure

Safety is but an illusion, in a world of hurt and pain
Sometimes the only victory, is for the sun to oust the rain
But 'im aware deep in my heart of hearts, that the rain will come again
So I must be like the sun, bold unshackled and free
So that when the rain returns I may be unwavering, and burn it away
And maybe ill be free for life eternal, like bold Homer in Dauntes tale of yore

The Beginning

To the beginning of a wonderful future but, a future of what?
For it seems every time I try to say the words, the door of emotion shuts on me.

My words of wisdom are your sounds of noise.
I wish for just one day to be with you, to show you what real love is about.

I want to take you away from the world of hurt and take you to the illusion of joy,
for joy is truly an illusion but, a mystical one.

If everyone in the world was like you, the world would be a happier place.
but, there is only one you,  and thats why you are so beautiful in my eyes.

My body is young, my soul is tired and old yet, this does not matter for if your around 
I am filled with hope and peace.
so, for what its worth you are the king of my dreams.

Tonight when you lye in your bed think of the words spoken, and the thoughts revealed
(don't forget me)
for you will realize my secret feeling which is no longer a secret.

The Window

Protected from life
Hidden from view
Alone in my room
With little to do.
I sit at my window
Safe from the world
Looking out at people
Going about in a swirl.

Whether a marriage or loved one
that has been lost,
Or maybe a business of which I was once boss,
Now all is gone and with nothing to do
I sit at my window
Safe from the world
And hidden from view. 

A world of hurt
Do I see
A retreat from life
is safer for me.

Like an animal hurt and 
withdrawing from life,
hiding from the world and all of its strife
I sit at my window
with nothing to do
Not willing to commit to the care of a few.

There was a time 
in this life I know
when I would come and I would go 
Now I hide away from it all
Not willing to venture out from this closed-in stall.

With nothing but a window
to the world that I see
hidden from sight 
and all who would love me.
A sad time is had
A lost life is bad
But my window is all that I allow to protect me.



Dedicated to all of the hurt and gentle people unable or unwilling to share their lives 
with others.

Happy Ending?

I know not everyone's life has a happy ending,
But I hope mine does.

If you know mine will,
What to say to me then
"I know it will"?
And take me in your arms,
And promise me that you'll never let go.
Promise that no matter what,
You will always be there for me.

No matter what you say,
I know that deep down inside you,
You feel the way I do.
If you can find it,
Let me know.

If you can't find it,
Then don't try.
It shouldnt be that hard to find.
If it's true, 
It'll appear,
In plain sight.

If you find it later in life,
I won't care.
The moment would have passed,
Your chance dissolved in a world of hurt.

I love you,
And I know you do too.

Will my life have a happy ending?

Everything Isn'T Okay

Everyone says everything will be okay 

But I know nothing is okay nothing is right 

The pain is killing me each second 

Kill me it hurts so much 

Give me more drugs 

Make the pain go away 

Help me Help me from dying 

Help me from the pain 

Put me out of this world of hurt 

Everything is going so cold 

Nothing is the same 

Everything is turning black 

I can't see you no more It's so cold in here help me 

My soul is going away 

The pain is going away 

Where am I going 

What is happening to me 

Everyone lied to me nothing is okay 

I'm dying 

No one knows why 

I don't want to die 

I wanna stay here with you 

Someone help me please 

Save me 

Save my life from this cold death 

Please 

I'm yelling out but no one can hear me 

PLEASE HELP ME 

Can anyone hear me? 

Can anyone see me? 

Where is everyone? 

Why is everyone crying? 

Why is everyone dressed in black? 

Why are my parents on the ground? 

Why is my boyfriend carrying casket? 

Who is in the casket? 

Why is there music playing? 

Where am I? 

What happen to me? 

Did I die? 

Please tell me I'm not gone 

Their putting me in the ground 

All I see is people crying 

Help me I don't want to leave 

I see everyone putting flowers on my grave 

I see everyone getting into their cars and driving away 

One year later 

Everyone is happy 

Everyone is smiling 

They look like they don't miss me 

I wonder if they can hear me say hi 

I wonder if they know I'm here 

I wonder if he has moved on 

I wonder if he's happy 

I wonder if he misses me

Manic Depression

Tonight is ending. As my breath slows. My final demise. The final low blow.
 Learn from the broken. See all that's real. Tonight is your heart ache. Tomorrow to feel.
 My time to prove what hate does. My time to show the world how to love. 
This is my purpose. This is my choice. My chance to show you my true voice.
 I've called out for this not to be true. I've heard no answer. Its what I must do. 
No will can save me plus no one will. Ill prove the theory  that words truly kill.
 As I take in this final drop. My world of hurt will begin to stop. Slowly I slip out off into a dream. My final resting to silence my scream.
 Now make this go viral.  Its truly worth time. This is my ending, my final crime.  
Don't try to stop me. You don't real care. I'm done with these mind games. I'm kicking out the chair. 
As my soul drops into the eternal abyss. My words and acting will not be dismissed. 
I lay my head down tonight as a lie. I'm not here any more. Ill no longer cry.
  You take my possessions. Please take  it all. Take all my burdens as I finally fall.
  Take my glee  and take my sorrow take my breath and take tomorrow.  
Take my time, take my will to fight, take all I've ever loved because I'm taking my life.

Darkness Cry For Light

A world of darkness that's a void of emptiness inside
A bottomless pit that has no end as you fall deeper
A wall of shame showing past regrets you cover and hide
A waterfall of sadness and sorrow that never dries it's a repeater
Of your lows that drains away your purpose and light in life
Of the struggles you face feelings of not getting over
Of your heart ever so slowly shattering trying to stay alive
Of your spirit losing faith and belief that you'll never climb back and recover
From the storms in our mind that makes it hard to seize the day
From the hurt in your heart that hits heavy in your chest
From the iceblock you freeze yourself in and have nothing to say
From the isolated four walls you buried yourself in laying in to rest
This feeling I speak of is depression a mood where the devil lies
Temptation of suicide at a all time high and the clock not turning back 
To a point where happiness was once possible and a love that never dies
But when you been in that world for so long it's hard to find a crack
Of light glimmering on the other side calling out to you
Of loving arms reaching out trying to help you get through
Of compassion of others whose been in that world of hurt
Of care whose there to comfort and pick you up from the dirt
So I dance to find a passion staying away from that world
I dance to stay warm and positive rather than be alone and so cold
Also I write to reflect where I once was in a stage of my years
I write to let my story be told and a way to let out the tears
I dance for all to admire and I write with gems in each to inspire
The world I once seen as hopeless and dim fades as cracks of light glimmer from above
As our father from heaven is pouring out blessings and love
A talent I get to share with each one of you all
And an inspiration to those who been in the same circle you can stand tall
For our loss, pain, grief, regrets, or sorrow is here for a season
Your still alive here with me and your meaning in life has reason
Pain is sometimes the hardest thing we can bare
But with pain comes strength and that strength can't compare
To the happiness and relief you'll feel of the other side of the rainbow

Creation Through Time

Knowledge is only the beginning
Of creation 
         lifes long journey 
         Doesn't last forever. 
lack of structure offers not freedom, 
                 but chaos, an pain .
                 In a world of hurt 
                 In the presence of fear .
                 Searching the world for what
                 Is what is asked . 
                 Time never stops 
                 An real love never dies.
                 Dreams last for as long as you're                                                             Dreaming em
                    An faith only goes so far.
                 We are human ...
                 This is what we call life...
