Emotional Pain Poems - Poems about Emotional Pain


Too Much for Just a Friend
Maybe I was too much— too loud in a world that whispers, too present where absence feels safer, too eager where waiting kills quietly. Maybe I sent the first message because silence scared me more, because every ‘seen’ without reply felt like a door slowly closing on my chest. Maybe I asked too many questions— not because I doubted, but because I needed to know if...

At What Cost
My parents didn’t teach me love— I learned it from the silence. My mother never asked why my eyes were red. She looked, but never really saw. My father only noticed me when I made a mistake. Love, in our house, was conditional. Thin. Breakable. Absent. So I taught myself how to hug my own shoulders when no one else reached out. How to whisper "it's okay" when the shouting outside made the inside...

I am that night which is full of darkness
I am that night which is full of darkness, Neither the moon is my companion, nor the stars have any existence. Every corner cries a story inside me, But no one listens, everyone waits for the morning. I have cold sobs in my lap, Shadows of broken dreams. People say I am scary, But how do they know, how true I am. Every...

Echoes in the Locker Room
They never saw me—not really. Only the outline I traced in the halls, A whisper of denim and shy glances, A ghost who smiled too politely. They passed notes like grenades, Laughed too loudly When the silence was breaking me. I wore their words like a second skin— Tight, blistering, But invisible to them. You asked if I was okay once— But your eyes flicked away Before...

Premium Member My Total Pain
Poems request that I be authentic. I am unsure my pen can take it. I live life as an emotional sayer, but should I now reveal each layer my blood will spill upon this paper. I have sought to give life tender smiles while enduring heart wrenching trials. I have glued events found fragile into some matter I can handle. I have not once...

Please, I Don’t Wanna Cry More
In shadowed depths where silence wraps its cloak, My heart, once strong, now aches in quiet plea, For love’s lost light, a fading, gentle smoke, Has left me cold and longing to be free. You came like dawn, a promise of the spring, But left me caught in winter’s cruel embrace, Your words were warmth, yet now a bitter sting, Each memory...

Emotional Pain
The ultimate spiritual person never felt emotional pain. He endured pain with ease and released into outer atmosphere. The blasphemy of humans comes from inner emotional rain. We absorbed negative power from negative experience. Our goal is activating higher self and controlling the emotional pain....

Emotional Pain Threshold
this threshold of emotional pain kept within the upper torso of us all, is like a detonator waiting to go off, waiting to shut us down, waiting to send us running amok with nothing left to lose, with no more hope in the want to gain anything--- when the bleeding inside is so fierce that the mind & heart no longer cooperate, when everyone that you’ve...
