Misfortune Poems

underwater misfortune

underwater misfortune
finding a hidden miracle
in mistakes properly learned from

so used to failure
i crack the codes of the rudiments of reversal
of mistakes properly learned from

i now play chess with life
life always wins because i
have no idea how to play

i move on to going back to
being a veteran amateur
of knowing nothing

the beauty of the mirror

Premium MemberThe world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune

The world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune,
They demand confessions, not out of care, but to dissect and devour the soul,
When I reveal my pain, their eyes become glassy with disgust,
And their pity drips like acid on my open and bleeding wounds.
Perhaps that's why I've made my sadness a "nameless grave,"
A place

Faded Love

Vanishing rainbow, freezing rain, dead desire, broken life
Lost faith, sinking fate, desert life, fear, lost hope, a knife

A blade in a heart, that is dead, lost wistfulness, torn blood
But the love was for blue blood, not mine, dream said guys

A soul carries this misfortune throughout a life, sad lifetime
Always, every time on his way,

Premium MemberToo Much Fear And Misfortune

It is raining
And they are shooting
This is not a game
This is a shame
Everyone is afraid
Babies and children are crying
Men and women are very mad
Where everyone is dying
The streets are infested with hardcore bandits
They are our enemies
They are not our friends
They shoot like crazy ants
Bullets fall like raindrops and rice
Gangsters are like rats and mice, not

POSTLIFE TIME

Found herself long in the tooth
Burdened with responsibilities 
As the clock kept ticking 
Being hospitable began to wane
Regardless of hope keeping in touch 

Working harder had become symbolic
For she had a negligible threshold
That supremely played a crucial part
A part in soaking all the fitness up
Until she lost the spiritedness 

Did all she accessed for the

The Root Cause

Sometimes, better to dig it up
Right from the root
And expose it to daylight
Cos' it's not good for a man to sleep all day
And not wake up to his responsibilities

It's not normal
If he pushes his wife out to the street
To hustle and to fend for the family
My son
Something has gone terribly wrong

The head has been cut-off
The

Sting with ease of negligence 
Weak and frail I plead
From the ground where you left me
Forsaking cranes fly above

Crown

Crown 

I'm disappointed of myself
I don't know how I got here
I don't seem to be able to change
no matter the sea of tears
I keep doing the same
hurting whoever is near
I'm feeling so ashamed
I want to dissapear...

I sit here daily to write
without knowing what to say
I don't know who I want to reach
I don't know what

Premium MemberArbitrary Misfortune

There are no easy answers as to why bad things occur.
There’s no rhyme or reason as to who might be affected.
Though there may be a philosophy to which you prefer,
Usually, when bad things happen, it’s unexpected.

Whether or not you believe that angels’ wings unfurled
Can make the reality of life around you exist,
There may be a

Destruction of Misfortune

Misfortunate life tangled us like goofy hair.
We try to release this tangled miserable with care.
But we got tangled more when we took it lightly. 
We need to open our mind to tackle and beat it proudly.
We can make our unfair or hard luck into our favor.
We the human beings have the biggest weapon called brain.
Our

Premium MemberHead Or Tail

A coin is twisted
Head ot tail
Fortune or misfortune 
To be decided by
A swirling turn
A baby is born 
Fortune or misfortune 
To be decided by fate 
The unknown 
But to everything
There is a dark and a bright side
Only hopes from God
And perseverance from man
Will make life easier for us

Misfortune of War


They were wavy heart told,
there was a silver star-shaped pot of gold
at the end of the hellstorm rainbow

This was the time-honored 
private talk 
to the latest crop 
of pawn fodder privates

Battlefield grunts on the frontline
A pact of brothers
	of diverse colors
		in the Death Metal Band
Human shield runts in the chain-of-command

The General consensus was,
the grieving families would

Flicker

Misfortune is the fruit of a twisted tree
An endless abyss deafens my forlorn plea
Silence feeds on the passing of days  
Memories shine through my unending haze

Bittersweet tears drawn from eternal shame
The spoils of igniting a passionate flame 
Embers singe the spirit of the night 
A dulled gaze cannot break an all-seeing light

Ravenous consumption a
