Disillusionment Poems - Poems about Disillusionment

Flashbulb moment in the black Everyone frozen in a truth attack You learn who justifies means from ends You learn your enemies and your friends. You look for an anchor in a bible psalm But there's chaos in your brain from blast of this bomb A moment that divides the right from the wrong A moment not imagined in ancient song. (chorus) Flashbulb night,...

I have been deceived all this while, By all the angels cloaked in a dear disguise. 'Follow the way of light, my child, ' they all cooed, For they knew too well I was never shrewd. Off I went, probing for those lights, Something to put an end to my wakeful nights. But manipulation, oh my dear, Sounds sweeter when it is...

she shows her battle scars and all i feel is numbness, he flaunts his maidens and i overlook the dumbness. she cries woes of heartbreak and i cannot feel pity, he weeps waterfalls of failure and i fake some integrity. she hurts me the most when she berates her busy nature, he wounds me the deepest when he complains of...

I wander where the afternoons were so warm and golden and wonder why pleasant woods and beautiful lakes desert me leaving just trees and water I wander where the orange sunset painted the purple sky and wonder why The awe at the light show leaves my heart I become colorblind to nature's art. I go inside to where the parlor was full of happy...

Wings cut, flesh torn, eyes burned and blind Heart so weary borne upon a life, some say, unkind. Time will come and go, knowledge gained or lost; Rivers change their flow; summers die in frost All that’s proud and full of fury in each person’s story Sunk beneath the fathoms of depressions veil. We humans sought to reawaken, but...

In August when the days are hot, nights are cool, men are shot; fooling with another's wife too many men cut with knife. Walk a street some evening time is late and no one's there even moonlight stays away even stars no longer stare no one sees what happens then when night is finally here darkness is, to good, no friend. it brings us instant fear something...

In Shallow Hours, graves are dug By words morose, Their hollow powers seem mundane, But are much worse. Being Lonely in a crowded room, With empty words Muttered by survivors; Whose frosty breath in time, With second hand, Will still ones heart with breach of mind From gestures grand; So gentle souls as we, Will speak...

Unfortunately Tattered become this chapter of life This longing meandering of an escapade This confided infidel of mirrored acts This threadless oath thrown into air Ever lost in the confines of the past Buried away under all the laughter Gambled and scratched like it's lottery Betting it all in this losing game Just to tear through at the glass seams Just to claw at the...

How can you say that your dreams, Weaved into an atrocious scarf, Is not the one you fathomed, But at least keeps you warm? Why do you feel so lonely, Never could feel that emotion before, When dusk falls, streetlights shimmer, And music starts to play? Where do you go to hide, From glares and unsolicited advices, That keep hitting you like missiles, But never...

Oh my god Everything you say is stupid Vacant and unproductive Vapid Gridlock lockjaw jawbone bones to pick Pick and choose and choose your battles Battling everyone Choking on their bitter words Empathy is so absurd Round them all up into herds Round them all up into herds Explanation is futile Give an inch and take a mile They’ll just stay here for a while They’ll just stay...

The catcher in the rye I go and drop the ball I lay it down and cry I’m sleeping in the stall Cause everyone is phony Your company is lonely Your animals are bony Your everything is only I’m underneath the bridge Below the overpass I’m locked inside the fridge I’m sleeping in the grass Cause everyone is faking Every excuse for bailing Your painted skin is flaking Success...

I walked in Draper Park Saw a family at a table, heard a dog bark "Ernie's friendly," said the Mommy, "he won't bite" A large goofy dog came at me, seemed alright. Ernie growled, maybe because I smelled of beer Or maybe because I didn't let him sniff my rear But in Ernie's genes, a wolf pack in the night from pet...

on a silent night, the shadows surge. seeking the light, on life's eerie verge. nothing’s more kinder to my fading heart, than the sore reminder of my pervading art. in my restless void, dreams will emerge. things once enjoyed, now just an urge. all paths lead to here, to these moments of dire. nothing is real i fear, so i’ll dance in the fire. ...

Caught up in the shadowy, Silhouettes dancing, trembling Like wings in breathless Whispers, erasing all the fearless Memories, blending worry With confusion, desperation Despair and sin’s onslaught stirring Anxiety, stalking the heart like Burdens and struggles, troubling Even the light that remains, Where history portrays the limits Restricting prayers, praise, portions Fragments of the heart’s faith, Hope lifted to the skies who hemorrhage Like stardust doubts falling, shadowy, Reflecting the...

We are victims Tied with common fetters Loosed in thoughts of varied choices and desires Loosely searching to make ends meet: The meeting at this spot, Either to go or stay, is a choice. We are victims Of the policies of pain Emitted to drive us crazy, We are on the street , though not crazy. Destroying our common patrimony. In futility,...
