Internal Conflict Poems | Examples


Kitsch give me a sign to go

Kitsch, give me a 
Sign 
To go 

It’s kinda funny how 
life 
goes on 

While you sit in a corner 
all 
alone 

The saturday blues are real,
To  
Your
Shoes 

Weighing 
You down like stones
On your foot

And the 
Crinkle cuts of the eyes 
Are a beshrew

Aging, as they call it, 
In action, 
A sequence 

“Folds aren’t good for you”

Premium Member Storms in Silent Corners

A jolt of trembling steel—
a crack that doesn’t shatter,
but ripples,
sending storms into every silent corner.
Cries fold in on themselves,
tight, suffocating strands,
all tangled too deep to get air.

This is the weight of love unreturned:
a death that breathes,
a life that drifts—
distilled by sorrow so pure
it makes its escape past the body’s treachery,
wetting the memory of the quiet erosion of tears.


I’M TIRED TOO

Every time you slammed the door 
Every time you dropped the call 
Every time you yell at me through and through 
I get tired too. 

Every time you passed before me 
Every time complaints ring upon me 
Every time murmurs being me 
I get tired too. 

Am I your emotions punching bag? 
Am I your stress reliever? 
Am I your eyes strainer? 
Can’t take it anymore 

I wanna flee faraway 
Hiding in mountains, caves and valleys 
Where shadows are no more 
Pissing me off I can’t control 

Every time I was criticized
Every time I was embarrassed 
Every time I’m manipulated 
Underrated, I get tired too. 

Most of the time you frown 
Tantrums hit the ground 
The reasons are unknown I got mixed emotions 

I wanna stay away 
For toxics just have pure fun with me 
Seizing my right to be me 
Seeing me as a piece of prey 

I get tired, I am tired I am exhausted 
I am frustrated 
Getting messed with you 
I wanna fight back with you 
But it’s not necessary for I love you so 

Strangled by the bond that cannot be taken 
It’s not mistaken, it’s purely original 
Don’t know how can this be shaken 
My life is not optimal

Internal Conflict

This internal conflict 
Holding all my secrets inside 
Is affecting the way I am externally seen
Reacting to unknown insecurities in secret
Because uneducated people
Stigmatize everything 
I gotta hide all the parts of me
They deemed as socially unacceptable 
To the standards of 
An unaccepting society
But I'd be a misfit and 
 labeled psychotic
If I opened the door up
 to all the parts of me 
It's hiding
It's quite the dilemma 
Inside of me I'm trying to write it on the wall
So it's obvious for others to see
Maybe outline opinions 
That were once outside, with breath now inside me
Opinionated,  alive 
Death has fallen upon them
Due to judgment from everyone else about how I am supposed to be inside and
I guess I can mark down opinions as the cause of death
On the autopsy:
"Young woman detached from any attachment to this society".
Form: Rhyme

Insomnia

I lay in bed and try to sleep, 
Pray the Lord my soul to keep.
But I fear
A past that haunts me
A future that daunts me 
And I wish you were here, 
To hold me and love me. 
My sorrow takes hold,
And I try to be bold
But 
Why didn’t you love me? 
Why won’t you love me? 
I’m Loveable 
I try so hard to be 
But Nomatter what I do 
Nothings enough for you 
So it’s not enough for me. 
Need you here, need you here so badly
Daddy I just want to go home 
I don’t belong here.


Internal Conflict

Brain splitting in two
The mind in constant fission 
To sever the fruit

Consciousness fading
The mind is put asunder 
A crack is shaping

Internal conflict 
My mind afflicted and awhirl 
Oh the need to rest

Confining the eyes
Drift away on silent wings
A better day nears
Form: Haiku

Fight My Guilt

I fight for my heart                                                                 The darkness and guilt encroach                                          For life, love, family.

Internal Conflict

My thoughts of you turn in my head.
How do I move on?
When you did so quick?
I want to move on, I really do.
But God, you.
You haunt me.
You tie my wrists.
I want to want him.
But you fight my fists.
Beat me,
Bruise me,
Call me unworthy.
He thinks I’m worthy.
But you once did too.
Liar, Liar.
Why can’t I just love?
You turn my mind inside out,
And beat me, my love.
You will consume my thoughts,
and make me fear him.
He can’t be you.
No, he wouldn’t hurt me like you did.
