Confusion Poems
the loser
by Mackenzie Bilz
My eyes whirl as I try to wrap my head around it
My brains scramble as they attempt to understand it
Nothing makes sense anymore, it’s no use to try
All I can do now is stand here and cry
Everyone’s left me and left no reason why
Confusion envelops me as the end runs nigh
I’m left here in sorrow, in isolation so cold
Apology does nothing, so it is here I fold.
Exposed to Rain...
by Fariha Farid
Watch the sky stumble.
As the clouds bundle,
Let them all fumble.
For such ignorant blunder.
Just a little rumble.
Jolting a crackle.
And it'll all crumble.
The water pringles-(to tingle persistently or annoyingly).

second love
by Miki Vermeulen
It’s not even about missing you.
It’s about having to remember
how fast and sudden you switched up,
and how horrible it made me feel.
One day you flipped,
you were sad and miserable,
you didn’t even want to be around me.
I don’t know what I did because you never told me.
You left me so confused and alone

Collapsing into the Madness
by Abhinav Sardesai
Walking through the graveyard,
I sought the sun.
All I took was a leap of faith,
To reach the skies above.
Only to plummet,
In the netherworld below.
Full of gore,war and lust
Gave me an unabashed euphoria.
Never did I know this side of me,

sail raised
by Liam Doran
Uncertain... I'm aboard the boat... my sail up.
I'm brightened by the fleeting gusts of wind
that leave quicker than they came.
Moving me about a painstakingly uneventful broad circle periodically
nudged by resolute bodies of ice.
Confused. I feel that Tommy understands.

How I would paint confusion and how confusion would paint me
by Liam Wright
Fallen leaves
A lack of green
My brush strokes on the canvas
I paint the sands in all it's Tanness
Cactus thorns and rows of corn
Snow and rain
Confusing pain
Light with no sun and Laughter with no fun
I'm not understanding
Trees in the sand

Zelfs de dood weet geen raad met mijn sterven
by Mario Odekerken
Zelfs de dood weet geen raad
met mijn sterven.
Ik ben al zo vaak verdwenen in gedachten
dat verdwijnen zelf
niets nieuws meer lijkt te zijn.
Mijn lichaam blijft
maar iets in mij is allang op weg.
Niet naar een einde,
maar naar een plaats zonder vorm.

Lost in the Labyrinth of Self
by Aditi Hayaran
I don't know why I'm crying
Don't know the reason
these damn tears are falling
I'm not sad or maybe.... I am?
I'm feeling like this for a while
I don't remember exactly since when.
I want to talk but what would I say
Can't say anything more than a, 'Hey'

Filled streets in an empty city
by Mario Odekerken
Crowds press forward,
but no one looks up.
The air is thick with motion,
yet nothing moves inside.
Screens glow in every hand,
faces flicker like fading neon.
Laughter echoes off glass,
hollow,as if borrowed from somewhere else.
