Turmoil Poems - Poems about Turmoil

Why don’t I sleep?
Why don't I sleep? Those creepy crawlies under my bed Those monsters in my closet- they’re in my head instead The rotten apple is my heart I’m alone in the dark That black blanket pressing Down, down, down Cocooned and captured Yet comforted: The absence of sounds Whilst my thoughts drown Sleeping is for the weak I’m alert. Sound the...

We the soil are witnesses to their turmoil
Trapped within the soil Told stories filled with turmoil Carrying the weight of black history But it honours their memory By always remembering By never forgetting Soaked by the tears of the enslaved Waiting, hoping, praying to be saved The ground an unknowing witness To them being worked to death But in awe of their perseverance Throughout the...

Lost in a cage
Shadows are flying in my head. Emotions are lost . Darkness is running allover,thou life is a mystery. Deeply I feel sad, deeply I feel happy, asking why life is worthless. I can feel anger brewing inside my heart. Periodically hateness is installed in my heart. My emotions are lost in my own world,where I don't have access. I'm lost in my...

Premium Member Vying For Dominance
Vying for Dominance … 16 is hard enough for anyone navigating adolescence… my 16 wasn't “typical.” …16, I simultaneously experienced a trifecta of physical, emotional, and mental illnesses, fueled by an onslaught of catastrophe and epic proportions. This doesn't include the onslaught of hormones that were dumped into my body… Add in sexual molestation, it was...

The tragedy that is myself
Perhaps I wouldn't move if the train came. Not out of courage, just curiosity. What does it feel like? or just the experience, maybe. I sit down in the shower sometimes until the water forgets it's warm and I forget I have skin. In that moment, and that moment only I think nothing but oh, I feel- I feel everything like a flood, swirling, raging inside, beating ferociously on the locked...

Toil Turmoil
Thought, with intelligence? When? How about the proof? Setting fire to where and when? Devil, art aloof? Fire inspiration, thy pun. What to do for fun? Good sense, laddie, and reason! Fly not close to sun! Cold fusion, thy harpsichord. Crystal glass a-flow. Demon -sultan, fife and sword! Hell and Heaven, row... Toil and turmoil, tamarind. Dappled roes a-fly. O Reality, how ye thinned! Grinned the gangrel Sly! Water of the...

How to describe in words What i feel? The piano it can spill The music of my heart. But to share the soul in prose? Piano keys are not enough for me They sing of my soul the colour the feel Never the goddam juicy meat. Must i cut myself up? Feed the earth with my many pieces. Finally rise...

A mind in Turmoil
An argumentative person, She spins nuanced thoughts for hours, With an underappreciated approach, Her resentful nature keeps her afar. Agitation becomes her greatest foe, Disrupting cycles, not just her own. A hyperactive mind racing without pause, Aloof and distant, fearing the spotlight on her flaws....

Silent Storms
A weir holds back the river against the flow of the morning tide I wonder how many thoughts, unspoken, lie behind its barrier- ponderings of love, turmoil, betrayal obstructed by the dam of emotional blocks struggling to break free from their confines. Like silent storms beneath the surface, they swirl in the depths of the mind, the dam of fear,...

The Demon of Despair
Alone looking at the wall, I sit depressed. With the burns of despair in my heart suppressed. The canvas of life is as blank and lifeless as the wall....

DOUBT
Heart, what do you want? Is it in front? Uttering those whispers, You show me hopes of glimmers. Heart, are you confused? While my soul is used. But you, be at ease. As the divine will show you peace. ...

The world we live in
The world is in a great turmoil All around disquiet and confusion reign Russia and Ukraine engage in war of attrition Massacre of genocidal proportions Has torn Gaza strip to a mountain of ruins As Israel continues to exact her pound of flesh For Hamas daredevilry of 7th October 2023 Meting out in the process to Hezbolah...
