Head downcast, left out
No sign of happiness there
Depressed, disheartened
Sadness reigns within his mind
Hurt man, a destroyed ego

I am downhearted, discouraged, dejected, downcast.
Ms. Positive said “You need to look up, for positives and fast.”
I am disheartened, dismayed, down in the dumps she replied.
Determined to be miserable, hopeless, sad, an expert who cried....

So many thoughts run through his head
  Branches of rivers seeking a thread

Loose ends never gathered; perforce flung
  Far from a disheartened, silent tongue

so much pain in her eyes
 yet she didn't realize 
that his heart has stopped
 for he loved her so
 much enact.
 evening ties
 the daylight sunrise
 pull up
 sub nauseous
 just so hypnotic
Distress  and disheartening

cheerless, wretched life
                      failure cycling
                   gaping rictus of
                 disheartened gloom
               preying on
             my soul’s regret
           faith chagrined
         headlong plummet
      into darkness’
    gaping maw
  I depart
oblivion...

Rather be dead
            than be traduced for protecting kin

Prefer to be extinguished        
            than bedeviled for verbal truths

Better to be deceased
            than pen elementary ordure

Disheartened by
            mean spirits leading to my demise

Blood spilled
            on your hands...

Solace for long sought;
Pivot to unburden this burden
A rhythm to hearten this disheartened heart
Smile to light this dreary face
Many ‘havens’ turned not;
Without peace eagerly needed
To unwrap this trapped self
From matters of earth that broke life
And she heard of Heaven and neared; 
A haven true to its name

Time could have the answer to all questions 
So everytime you fail don't be disheartened 
Shy away your fears and cure your lesions 
It is time that tells the moment for redemption 

Time is a treasure, plentiful but scarce 
But many people fail to realize 
There is too much time spent for wasting 
Yet they treasure every moment when cramming

Sometimes you got disheartened, 
Because I was so small.
I seemed to smudge my handprints,
On the pictures down the hall.

But here’s the final handprint,
I left in your heart to remember.
Of the fragileness love of life,
Before I left you last November.

So when you think of me,
Know that we’ve not grown apart.
You must look within to see,
The handprints in your heart....

Reluctantly I acquiesce 
This is much to my dismay
Daunting, appears the task
Overwhelming thoughts consume my days

Disillusioned by the emotional discourse 
Troubled by the arrogant improprieties
Living in a world of ignorance
Full of contemptuous indignities

Disheartened - I confess moving forward
Perturbed by societies disinterest of clarity 
I still have hope for my family’s future
Hence, the acquiesce irony...

"I'm yours forever" he promised
But fate had it all vanished
Masses who called them perfectly paired
Here and now terribly mourned
Still she was just found silenced
As she recalled her promise unblemished
"You'll never find me disheartened"
As usual she fullfilled and he breached
All left was his memories unfaded
And her future perplexed....

in dismay
disheartened
disillusioned
why am i invisible
unheard
hardly discernible
out of my element
i don’t belong
still i will continue
to sing a song
stranded
on my desert island
sending adrift
my message in a bottle

The Rocky Road.
.
The path that life has given me
Is a rocky uneven winding road
With many steep hill to climb
And I carry such a heavy load
A cruel unforgiving wind
Often stops me moving forward
Upon my painful unpleasant track
Battered and bruised sand lashed
I aim for home always alone
But get blown back
Disheartened disillusioned
Trapped fearful 
Like a struggling cat in a sack
Drowning in melancholy.

Sickeningly unstable,
disheartened we stand 
like brave little cowards
with solid, shaky hands.

We make declarations out loud,
oaths beautifully fall out of 
our mouths.
Even the most significant pledges cannot be guaranteed
as our minds think up promises our hearts can't keep.
We're just a slew of hearts,
pounding no good hearts.
We're just a slew of hearts.

We're just a bunch of slayed, pounded hearts.
Just a slew of hearts....

I have ben disappointed. I have been dismayed,
by such irrefragable frauds ensuring justice is delayed.

I have been disheartened. I have been disserved,
by such irredeemable cretins with ethics badly curved.

I have been disenchanted. I have been distressed,
by such irrepressible greed than could ever be confessed.

But in this, oh, high and mighty, you are equal to the lowly,
by this irreversible fact: both your clocks are ticking slowly....

One scent of jasmine, or sweeter,
Aromas divide to conquer wild.


Greenery arrives slowly, quickly rise.
Meadows hidden behind blinds
Naturally so calm,

Blazing spring sublime
Erasing disheartened specks…
In natures design

Delivering peace
To my soul, while bringing work
To all of mankind

Her lonely heart weeps with anticipation 
As she talks to the spirit of the lover she once knew
Confused but jubilant she’s going with peace
Content but disheartened, we wait in tears
Don’t cry for me, she says, for I won’t be far
Wails of loneliness heard all through the night
Cries for her late lover they are
Missing him so, she’s more than willing to go
It’s time to grasp hold of dear memories for life
And to let her lonely soul, go in the night...

A portrait painted in sad gloomy thoughts
A hidden God conceived in anxious spots.
In an underworld of fear, His cloak of armour
Frankincense spreads, His Faith, the saviour.

Don't be disheartened, storms never last long
Tides will turn over, as you fight back strong
Clouds in blue sky,  will again plush green hills
Faith anchored, will bloom daisies and daffodils.

School was crummy. Classmates mean.
Holden Caulfield, aged sixteen
dropped out to the New York City scene.
There he wandered, Sorrow's Son,
overgrown but underdone.
Seared by girls, it wasn't fun.
Broke, disheartened, home he slid.
Sister Phoebe, a perky kid
boosted him up. She really did,
but only for a moment though.
Down the skids alas he'll go
landing in a shrink chateau.
Oh what torment must be his
who God damns yet feels. Gee whiz!
Youth is ruff. It really is....

Passionate…     
I am forever the dreamer, a writer, an idealist, and an overachiever, 
who loves gardening, family, and Michael  
I have ideas about donating, volunteering, and helping others less fortunate 
I feel at times anxious, impatient, and disheartened about life in general  
I fear that we will never find the cure for cancer, racism, and world hunger
I want to sparkle, laugh, and spread more hope to others in my lifetime  
Resident of a resilient human race
