Feeling kind of low;
Emotionally distraught;
Color me blah blue.
Depression in full color;
No crayola can capture.

Grandiose

the heart is grandiose
in proportion to the mind
(accidental overdose;
the life that was never mine)
the problem with people
is the overthought
the simple, magnified- 
distraught.

wilting in the setting sun
dissolving deflating
undernourished underfed
neglected rejected

if any degree of pampering
can bring me back to life

Inner Conflicts

Penchants of dusk,
Forever inflamed in my heart.
Slowly gives rise to incredulity,
And perpetually gnaws away at my soul.
For this indignation,
Even conflicts between the distraught beings inside of me.

Caught and Distraught

He got over his oval office obsession,
Left us confused after making confession;
In lie was caught,
And became distraught;
Do not want President position possession.

Premium Member Crying Woman

feelings 
flow out 
of her 
big eyes 
pearls melt 
into liquid 
warm tears 
wash her 
red cheeks 
her face 
distraught 
woman
cries out 
begs for 
justice 
from the
powers
but fails 
cries more.

Lost Moments

How do you start over
 consumed by the end
Beginnings aborted 
as judgment portends
Desperately hiding 
alone and distraught 
For all of those presents
 time wasted — and lost

Premium Member Red Rover

A distraught driver drove to Dover
Running roughshod in his Rover,
Crushing cultivated clover,
Mangling marigolds, moreover,
Pancaking progeny of plover.
Liquor-laden lies to lover;
Outcome: outed, ousted, over.
