O Serene Night, O Distressed Heart
Disheartned by misery, I went to sleep without praying and laying down so restlessly, then awful thoughts drowned me in sadness: the strongest soul that always warded off demons... suddenly became the weakest and most miserable of all! O serene night, return to my consciousness and brighten these shadows hiding hope, that hope which finds refuge in tranquility; o distressed heart seeking a...

Throughout the Night Distressed, Unblessed By Sleep
Throughout the night distressed, unblessed by sleep, I turn and writhe and toss, and vainly watch The seconds and the minutes slowly stretch To hours; and long since done with counting sheep, Despair of morning. All alone I pitch And sweat and wanly see the clock-hands sweep Inexorably on. And so I keep Unwilling vigil, condemned to spend such Nights of...

Distressed
Distressed by Rob Barratt My furniture is all distressed It's unusually unstable The oak bookcase is quite depressed As is the coffee table The worktop has a thin veneer It seethes beneath the surface The taps know how low they can… sink And think life has no purpose The painted window frame's been stripped... Of dignity. It's lacquered The blue front door's morale has dipped The cheese...

Distressed
Endless days lost in thought, my mind a brooding hole, forever seeking that which is sought, answers to soothe a aching soul. As days dance strung together by time, age catches up with my endless quest, body decays each second I pine, end in sight light flickers distressed , hope glimmers as eyes take final rest, life seeps gently away as my soul begins...

Distressed Like the Weather
Dark, departing clouds waved their last goodbye My smile transcends and then…descends Brought down by unexpected departure This weather stays with me for a while But, with my trustworthy friends by my side, They’ll encourage me to move on—even if I’m sunk deep with regret At least I have some numbers to dial! Anguish once again reigns upon my mind With...

Child Looked Distressed
When the demon walked in, the child froze, as he saw its hard eyes and mutilated skin, and hatred that shows, haunting images swam before his eyes, lost souls begging, and he could hear their cries, he drew a breath, hoping to avoid death, he had to force himself to breathe, hoping the demon hadn’t seen his expression on his face, he was part of...
