Repression Poems - Poems about Repression

Celibate Sinner
I scrubbed the shame from under my fingernails, as if guilt could be washed like dirt. Cold showers never baptized the ache; just gave it discipline, a neat little collar for the beast inside.

Depression
Beware! In my Dwelling, a predator slinks in without Even saying hello - spirit who Pretends he’s my creditor - green with greed and Remarkably yellow. My words have Escaped this parasite-pest, “You are So unwelcome here, a no-guest, a remnant Scrap from a life I once led." You would bleed me white or kill me Instead. I ban you contender Of...

My daddy—he once told me don’t ever play with nuns they’ll hit you with their rulers it won’t be any fun I snuck out of that prison and now I’m on the run Once freed from that schoolhouse I sunbathed in the sun I stayed out late, I went on dates looking out for number-one When I think of what I went through of all the...

Durerea pe care nu o simt - RO
Undeva departe Emo?iile ?i-au facut adapost Afara ploua ?i e frig.. Ele, tremura, sperând la un anotimp mai bun Înainte de pisc, au fost îndrumate de un calugar El le-a urnit din loc ?i le-a dat direc?ia spre Vârful Exprimarii Dar când au ajuns acolo, le-a parasit cum s-a înnoptat Iar ele înca se întreaba daca e pentru ca a ajuns sa...

Vulnerable Infidel

Repressed desire causes one such awful anxiety Even though keeping it well hidden inside, It also has a major effect on our sobriety The heart cannot contain it, many have tried.

Repressed desire does irreparable...

The world is so absurd people think their wishes Trump true freedoms honourable freedoms They detest education women's rights minority rights Science, vaccines, empathy freedom of children not to be shot in schools They distort and lie and lie and lie Their tin foil hats of hate the manifesto of all extremists who need guns to be men Beware someone who screeches "freedom" then takes away yours Those who care so much...
