Dispair Poems - Poems about Dispair

F'r'iend
I know she doesn't love me. She visits everyone. When its looking bright. She'll shade me from the sun. She is all I've got. Probably my best friend. Though she isn't real. I like to pretend It's a sense of duty. Much less out of care. Always there beside me. My keeper of despair. ...

My Old Friend, Pain
This one strong warrior you know lays down his sword. Sure there's still talent but it's all muscle memory now which is just going through the motions. Pain used to be an old friend but it's all mum's now I see things clearly but yet it's like walking through a hazy first. This existence becomes...

Premium Member Ragged People
the homeless people alive in cracks we avoid. each displays no grace nor glory. We turn our backs, are so annoyed. Worn overcoats over scrim pajamas, angled hair and leather-ed skin, bags and bottles are their bangles, we’ve become loveless manikins. some have singing voices. souls beautiful yet never heard. some lay choice-less all have only what we deserve. there are angels among them Sent to check...

No Antecdote
The damage is catastrophic The wounds are just too deep The caffeine doesn't affect me The pain just puts me to sleep The weight that is upon my shoulders It is just too heavy to bare The things I can't do because I'm older Leave me solemn and full of despair The cure has not been discovered So I'm doomed...

Do you struggle with burdens? Are you drowning in despair? Does a web of negativity permeate your air? When you travel down life's roads, on your journey, that quest, and God has clearly put you under deep duress. Remember those beings that you swatted like flies, those people out there that you demonized? Wouldn't it be a wonderful surprise to find they...

Premium Member Silent Pain, Screaming
Why cast a shadow of darkness Why cause pain that I never did seek Empty this cigarette carton of disease Out into blank existence Why shower with love only to Douse acid in return Why grant neutrality only to ask for a democracy Empty this spoiled milk of misfortune Into bleak existence Why emotions that feed like cancer on healthy cells Why love when...

I see a weary coxswain That steers a crooked boat Across a sea of madness With endless empty hope He searches for a memory Of what was just a dream In clouds of misty mayhem And winds that howl and scream He looks among the folly And the prayers he did not pray His heart is filled with passion For the star that turned away So...

The Victor's Creed
The Victor's Creed By: Inking Al'Kallio ??™? Never drink the wine of dispair nor let defeat toss you in the gutters. No matter how great the needs be Our faith beats all foes. Get not intoxicated with yester-victories, nor let vain talks bids thy time, thus,that how disgrace beckons. Lest you tarry not, in search of peace you cannot find, work till your body...

Dispair
Despair I feel the sun. The warmth does not penetrate. I see the light. The darkness remains. I’m surrounded by people And lonelier than ever. I am aware of my good fortune. However, I can’t pull myself together. I fracture apart. Spiraling further down. No way out. Trapped in a hell of my own....

Plea
Do you think if I went out back and stood, Where the clean green lawn meets the wood And whispered softly in the night air I’m not afraid and I know you’re there. If I wished hard enough, do you think The fae would steal me away with a wink? And take me up with them to the sky That blue abyss...

Beginning of Men- Draft
It was the last day of the beginning of the end. There were 4 last men from the 4 corners of the earth. None knew the tongue of the other None knew the face of the other None knew the life of the other They only knew the world was at its end. Death, Destruction, and Despair were all about them. Blood,...

The Final Battle
My return to the earth Once slow, now quickened And what have I accomplished For I have wasted my existence Thinking that I had an eternity And for this now I am sickened All the battles have been fought, save one And for this, I have no weapons And yet if I am to count for naught And have no sword to carry into...
