Best Conflicted Poems

My mind is burning, blazing, turning
With doubts and irrational drivels
My heart is livid and hardened
For it freezes in the potentials of disappointment
Of failure, downfall, and impending death
In ceasefires of never mind, and never more 

My soul is stubborn for alien tastes
For knowledge and truths with...

I looked out at America
from my porch the other day,
Unusual, it's appearance,
seems so different I would say.

Problems in abundance,
so many that I see,
but this was once America
a special place to be.

Remembering recent times
my thoughts I could convey,
flowed freely, not a worry,
of what I had to...

Not a day goes by I don't think of you
you have permeated my fortress and walk freely in all its rooms
(examining it's furnishings)
how did I allow you entry without the
usual search scan and seizure ?
I'ts like a foreign substance and all
my antibodies are seeking to...

Boy, such a gas
Boy, so much fun
Boy, what a job
Boy, wanna run 

Oh, the pleasure
Oh, the pain
Oh, the freedom
Oh, the strain

Gee, a poem?
Gee, with blanks?
Gee, let's try it
Gee, no thanks!

Got an idee 
Got a glimmer
Got to figure
Got to simmer

Look, it's coming
Look, it's here
Look, I'm rhyming
Look,...

She never thought this would happen.

She broke protocol. She never thought 
that she 

would fall in love with a man at all. But it's 
fifteen years 

to late and she's already a wife and a 
mother. To a beautiful

husband and daughter who she adores 
and...

impossible obedience required
as she melted with reluctance
in familiar mystery

a lonely splendor broken
by bewildered whispers
and weak hearts unite

I love my mom 
with unabashed cliche,
                    when we hug, when we 
             ...

What cruel-hearted fiend would fashion a soul,
only so it could bow and sing empty praise,
pretending that love is some worthwhile goal,
expecting satisfaction from meaningless days?

Not I! Tis not me who is blind and absurd;
I will not subscribe to such wretched design-
Infinite power in the breath...

I really shouldn't,
     But some part of me want you,
And I don't know what to do....

Look for love in your heart
I'm leaving you with:
Someday you will recognize
Some breakups are doomed.

Today I can be an unfulfilled poet
Snoring and heartlessness
alike star at night
without its dense knots
Even if it is a short iteration,
bouncing over time and space
It will only be a matter of...

i wanted it all
yet i couldn't let go
to grasp the future
of my dreams
there within my reach

Holding onto uncertain acquaintances 
Afraid of being lonely in this big world 
Good grace comes to those non deserving of its light 
Pain and sorrow tortures the kind of heart 
So I live conflicted, refusing to face the truth of my peers 
Consciously aware the...

Victim written all over me
But strength lies deep within
Unsure who I should set free
Whose heart my actions underpin
Which ego is my alter
At which altar do I pray
Who holds me when I falter
Who'll save me from the fray
My only chance is solitude 
Or do I wish...

I’ve been restricted from birth’
 I was born with a leash 
I’ve never been on land and I feel like a fish
Restricted like a boat caught on land
I cant float on shore because I’m stuck in the sand
Starving because of words that I ate
I can’t...

a common denominator
eager, calm, procrastinator
all those hoping to be greater
take on the ego deflater

self aware, in tune and clear-eyed
the completely bonafide
abruptly lost, quiet,tongue tied
embarrassed, trying hard to hide

silent, conflicted, filled with doubt
almost escaped but can’t get out
upset, angry, ready to shout
cannot help but let feelings...
