Confused Poems
#confusion
Poems about feeling confused, unable to think clearly about life, or struggling to make important decisions. Confused poems about feeling bewildered and dealing with internal conflict.
The Things We Don’t Say
The air is thick with the things we don’t say
The tension palpable
Complicated situations have tied our hearts in knots
I yearn to release the pressure but you’ll have no part
You close the valve tightly
The air thickens more
Until we’re choking on the smog
What are we doing this for?

Happy new year?
It's a new year
Amazed and astonished
That I'm still here
Despite my best efforts
To find a hasty demise
I awkwardly awaken
To find I still have time
Each year that passes
My grip seems to loosen
And with incompetent ignorance
I still can't fathom what I'm losing
So with an inexperienced clumsiness
I'll walk through this world
Foolishly dumbfounded
By the logic of
Why me?

Right people at the wrong time
Ever meet someone who’s perfect for you but not on your level?
Someone who makes you feel safe
Knows how well to treat you
Says the right things
Makes you feel wanted
Everything you didn’t get from your ex
That you wish was there between y’all
Understands you because they went through similar things or maybe worse things before
You love that they are considerate of what you been through
So are you to them
But
You had your moment of breakdown
You went through all the emotions
You had enough with feeling that way ...

Tell me what you see
When your bias to the slant of an isolated incident
Where delusion meets reality
Through the filter of the paranoid
Everyone is guilty till proven innocent
As I oscillate between two converging points of view
I dismiss the extremes and attempt to find common ground with you
There's something to be said for bad apple's
And yet there's a defense to be made on behalf of the rest
Disclaimer to our social compromise
Everyone is just doing their relative best
Or at-least we tell ourselves
Like the...

Hard Fish to Swallow
Unrealistically waiting, for the right timing.
Unrealistically living, off of someone else’s timing.
Is this what life consists of? Tiring ourselves and eventually dying?
What peace do you feel as you drag yourself to bed, only to awake and do it all again?
How happy can you be if your life consists of nothing?
No real peace. No real meaning. Just an empty fish bowl with a fish swallowed by a starving kitty.

Deception
a thousand
countless
stumbles,
falling,
rising,
everything
to look for,
lives
changing
beyond recognition,
words
cutting sharp,
my eyes diverted,
one day
to see
the light again
after
my deception.

Can you?
baby got back, but back ain't gonna help you get back the chemistry y'all lack when you still thinking of me
& if I'm salt water you're an open wound
Cause although I might bring you pain I'm clearly the solution
And baby you in denial if you think your in
Egypt, cause this is cloud nine and after you come down from your high I'll feed you
I want to stand by you and support you further more, I'll be your back bone after you snapped my L2 & L4 🤷🏽♀️ Shit but I'm still walking..
& since...

SELF REFLECTIVE INTROSPECTION (somewhere, sometime, unrecalled?)
the venom of complex
confusions
poisons my weak grip on
hope
the futility of this world without
unity
extinguishes my desire to
cope
even laughter
fatigues
as an unseen
weight
in a mind mindful of
spirit
yet famined in
faith
hollow with a
hunger
to know my
place
yet porous with
doubt
perhaps its too
late
to either
accept
or to
worry
to
resolve
or move
on

The Room
An unfamiliar room. He awakes tipsy from the remains of sleep, mouth parched with thirst and the aftertaste of whisky and cigarettes. An open window lets in sticky air. It’s quarter to six in the morning, according to a miniature clock next to the bed.
What happened?
He staggers to the window. Outside, a crescendo of colour streaks the horizon, bathing the sea in a magenta glow. He leans against the wall, willing the dizziness to stop. On the other side of the window, a steep drop tempts him to jump to the ground where huge rocks await, like teeth. As the dizziness...

Washing out soiled afterthoughts
Sanded mind into a gritty rhyme
Pay a price but nothing bought
Just old hat top'd a new mind
--
Wishing well drown dreams under
As dirt, to lay their tragedy upon
Fluttering tongue false wonder
So puzzled mind box undone

Pay a price but nothing bought
Just old hat top'd a new mind

Fluttering tongue false wonder

Jargogle (competition entry)
Tis an old word to be sure,
But strangely apt for modern times,
For history does not quite repeat,
But inevitably it rhymes.
Imagine holding an empty jar,
And you’re staring through the base,
Then gaze upon your closest friend,
And see their distorted face.
What seemed once familiar,
Is now perversely warped,
Gaze upon the world this way,
And it colours all your thoughts.
We live now in strange times,
In complex ways we’re wired,
A mess of interconnectedness,...
