Turmoil Poems - Poems about Turmoil

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...

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...

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...

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....

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,...

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....

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 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...

Drip drip drip There she is, curl up like a ball, Hands pressing hard, raw is the pain, For a moment the heated pad works. Thud thud thud Powerless she's against the shedding, High and low, her hormones play tennis, Giggles of laughter turn into tears. Drip drip drip With every drop of Vermillion, A raging pain rise in her low back, The room is...

Hung like a chandelier that needs cleaning, we rely on it in times of darkness or to give meaning, shall we dust it off to use in our own life, but against our enemies still charge with a knife, learn to forgive all is what Jesus said, if not the turmoil in life will live in your head, my chandelier in...

Mixed into the depths of my soul, a darkness resides Shadows that linger, a presence that hides A place where fears and doubts will grow A realm where hopes burnt out light won't glow The darkness within me, this labyrinth of night A maze of shadows that consume all light This place...

How can you cry when your hurt, if your numb to the fall, How can you win a race , if you can only crawl, How can you smile at the world if the world let's you down How can you swim in the sea if you will only drowned, How can you speak if you don't have a...

Woe for those who shout for anger Rumbling upon the fiery scene Drooling vengeance spits within Stinky Truth opens in awe and despair Mirror of Justice, who’s to be blame Poor am I but rich in desire Weak as called, bullied your Sire My heart is not iron enough to melt all my sighs. Tell...
