Dark Thoughts Poems - Poems about Dark Thoughts

I’ve come to the end

I’ve come to the end

I’ve come to the end
I’m sorry to say,
I’m not strong enough
To fight through every day.
You may think me selfish
That I don’t give a damn,
I tried really hard
To be not who I am.
The pain- too intense
A plan was made,
To relieve myself
And stop this facade.
I’m sorry my will
Was not strong enough,
The tears I

Demon

I’ve got this demon 
Living in my head,
It makes me have horrid thoughts
Mainly wishing I was dead.
I hear these voices
Deep in my mind and soul,
I try to stop them
But fear I’m losing all control

I’ve tried to block it out
It’s taken up residence,
Full of fear
Losing self confidence.
It’s screaming louder 
My thoughts , no longer mine,
I tried

Chelsea’s fantasy was to get raped

Buddy only felt sane when he was at war

Joe knew at some point he would get caught

Mary was whiter than the driven snow

Chelsea’s fantasy was getting stronger

Buddy just hated civilian life

Joe was stalking his next victim

Mary was in chapel confessing dark thoughts

Chelsea had made up her mind

Buddy walked the streets,

Lavender hues embrace my thoughts
Bathed in silence, dipped in love
Like a persuasive caress, urgent for
The breathless passion that entices
Burning away all the grief and despair

Through a million years, tears so dark
Penetrating, piercing, pricking my heart
With a lost word, a lost hope, a lost dream
Endless lessons built on hopelessness
Colored in waves of melancholic dread

My heart has

When your sat there in the dark,
As scared as scared could be.
Is the devil out there?
Just waiting there for thee.
Or will these thoughts, you have at night
"Disappear" with a flick of a light.
This you ought to know,
He's out there waiting for everyone,
And he will never go.
He's waiting for you to break,
To give in to all

Dark Thoughts of Trees

DARK THOUGHTS OF TREES

The trees that circumscribe the cricket field
[Stumps drawn ‘til equinox returns the sun]
Neath grey October sky a mood revealed
Their pensive mien betrays dark thought as one:-

“Our limbs close link in woodland brother form
These limbs once built your homes and ships of fame
And fine oak caskets whereby you’ll be borne
When you no more

If there were no poetry or words as art
Who would hear the music in my heart
Would my muse fight to find its way
Or in atrophy die and simply wash away

Dark Thoughts

I spiral down a slippery slope
Entwined as I descend
I’m drowning in a kaleidoscope 
As My mind begins to blend

Swallowed as Im consumed 
As I sync into the abyss
Left as hollow as a vacuum 
Neither extinct yet nor exist

Falling down this  internal funnel
All life is drained from inside
Like crawling down an eternal tunnel 
But no

Dark Thoughts

Murder on your mind
Suicide in your thoughts
Heart all torn, body all worn
Heavens knows you want to go
But Jesus wont let you go
Restless nights, constant fights
Your soul just doesn't feel right
No longer does it have the will to pretend or fight
It feels like you have lost all sight
Discouraged and burden to afraid 
To stand up and

Dark Thoughts

Stab me in the heart you viper 
Lay me down to sleep
Struggling with the man i am 
Send me down to the deep 
Who am I or what am I 
Whom have I become 
Who should know 
No friend or foe 
Cheap words slide off my tongue
A lier lies 
No shock surprise 
Your blind if

Vestiges of Dark Thoughts Evicted

Wobbly knees wheeze and tease
Dark thoughts fumbling, tumbling and rumbling in the mind
Which can no longer squeeze proportion peas
From thought processes, procedures and systems gone blind

In the wake of the disaster
Determined to scupper efforts
I summon to master faster
Techniques and strategies to rescue ports and forts

In which hides the succor
With the potential to dismiss the blues
Whose

Dark Thoughts

Under the cover of deep darkness      
Hidden in some obscure corner
Cowering beneath layers of blankets,
My head wrapped in scarves 
buried under a pile of pillows…
No matter what,
Oh, upon my poor soul, 
I just couldn’t hide from my thoughts.

Dark Thoughts

Yes madness is my escape, in my deepest darkest thoughts, all the hate inside my soul, all the hate that I have got, in the lunatic asylum in straight jacket getting shots, leave my happiness behind, and I leave it there to rot. All the anger that I hide, all the secrets that I keep,

Dark Thoughts

Frustrated, dissatisfied, you've tried and tried,
The meaning of life has you completely mystified.
Another negative vibe that's too hard to describe,
Depressed, anxious and feeling dead inside.
Dark thoughts dominate your mind, you can't unwind,
Searching for answers that you might never find.
Questioning reality can lead to insanity,
''What if'' thoughts will mess your mentality.
Demons are creeping back from the
