Frustrating Poems

Show, Don't Tell

In my experience
between the two
I'm not naming names
but what people say
and what they do
are not always
one and the same
as they don't follow through
life gets in the way
I understand
but that's no reason
not to let me know
there's been a change of plan
when told I'll call
give you a ring is when
I know I'll never
hear from them ever again
all

Study Talks


Maths, Science, English, Hindi,
Sr. Newton why u discovered gravity? , 
Formulas and experiments, 
books took our brain on rent

Day or night root and Square 
always have frustating fight.

My bat and ball are waiting for me,
 I also wanna play out suddenly.

It's been a long time,
Since I have drawn something. 
I just want to free

Loads of Problems

I have got many problems on my hand,
In a few days my exams will start,
I have to say that no one is a huge fan,
So much work makes my brain fart,

I m not really interested in anything,
My brain is dying of thirst,
The bells of my memory just dont ring,
Forget about 1st and 2nd I cant

Premium MemberThe Frustrating Game of Golf

Why don't they make golf holes bigger
What were they damn well thinking of?
It would make things a lot easier for "Don J"
He wouldn't have to fudge the truth
BTW his “J” middle initial stands for “Janice”
The holes are ridiculously tiny anyway 
And they're so damn far away as well
Isn't there a standard distance to each hole
He

Premium MemberSelf help: Frustrating Thoughts

Graceful and honest ideas drip down, 
Drowned in bohemian glass,
Soothing our curse of mental despair, 
Repairing the thoughts that we ask,

Behind these masks we all wear as one, 
Confronting unknown days ahead,
These masks for others around us to see, 
Freeing the guilt that is spread, 

And just like a tattoo of smile and frown, 
Found

Nothing More Frustrating Trying Damndest To Kindle Memory

(buzzfeeding, kickstarting, needling darn noggin)

An effort to recall word, phrase,

aggravating enough to sub
bourbon spur teetotaler to imbibe
and/or nsync, whereby soul searching

Frustration

Frustration a feeling that's like friction,
Such a feeling of constricting conviction,
There is no way of avoiding its restriction,
This results in you feeling such damnation,

Frustration, the emotion completely domineers,
Suddenly angry tears begin to appear,
Motivation seems to disappear,
Sometimes it's not clear why it is here,

Frustration, you become annoyed, at how its so annoyingly annoying,
The anger builds tears

Premium MemberNasty

When are we going to learn
We need to shut our trap
What is it with you
Your snide tone
Your petty remarks
Everything we say is ignored
Censured or corrected
Cause everything we say is wrong
And you think you're entitled
What the hell
We wish we could spit it out
And tell you off
Just cut you off
As if we need you
Yet...
We continue to put

Premium MemberToo Busy Ranting

How do I drown out
The dimwitted stupidity
Of your foolhardy rants
The halfwitted folly of your absurdity
The madness of your lunacy
Who in heaven’s name
Do you think you’re fooling
You’re so generous with disparaging remarks
What have you ever accomplished
How dare you pretend to sit up on a throne
While having the audacity to dismantle
To nitpick what others have achieved

Only losers

DOWN AGAIN DAMN!

Stress and tension, heart pulsating, can’t take more
One day two, three days, perhaps today even four,
Not knowing what we’ve lost, poems I’v saved, but
Comments, views are so important to encourage poets,
In my scribble jotter are my poems where I’v kept notes,
They’re safe, thanks to the cloud, internet and  Word,
Otherwise this situation would

It’s hard to fathom
What grandiose thrill
He can possibly get
From making her so angry

He’s the epitome of stupidity
With air bubbles for brains
And so particularly proud
Of getting under her skin

What could he possibly gain from
People thinking he’s so stupid
Yet she continues to play 
Right into his sick silly game

Nothing but a pest hovering around her
Pray tell, for

Frustrating Men,Nagging Women

Why are men so frustrating?
Can't someone please tell me!
I've been trying to figure it out
for what seems like an eternity.

Why is it that men
cannot understand a womans thinking?
Sorry to be so sexist
but I expect it's
all that drinking!

I have figured out one thing....
It's why men have more strength,
It is simply just to compensate
for what they lack

Don’t you hate it when the offense goes three and out?
As far as the team goes, it leaves me with qualitative doubt.
Victory does not seem to be in the cards
when the team has three downs, and can’t move the ball ten yards.
There are many plays where they can either pass or run.
However, they can’t get

Frustrating Voices

I get so frustrated with the voices in my head 
They seem to tell stories when I'm ready for bed 
They sound so amazing I should write this all down 
But as soon as I locate a pen I don't hear a sound 
Tell me the story repeat it again 
I'll write it on paper
