Distress Poems
Desert
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Lamentations alone cannot stop
the bleeding of the land at the ankles,
nor stop the tears of Deluge
Grief matters little in a prophesied
pogrom, for a general death is
not reckoned with evil —
And prophecies shall remain with rain
forty days and forty nights;

Exhausted Dump Truck of Thoughts
by Inverted Soul
I go home
and feel like a ghost,
Just floating alone.
I'm stuck in my head,
It's to troubled to rest.
I struggle to find
what happens next??
My bodies in need,

Vacant Cries
by Inverted Soul
Sleep walking inside your own mind,
while running a little late?
But not running behind.
The minutes slither on by,
passing your cries.
You Scream!
It is getting more late
you remain to still cry

Deep in Disguise
by Inverted Soul
When your left all alone
feels like dead inside
nowhere to turn
no one to confide
I bury myself
deep in disguise
shelter what's left
then close my eyes

Drowning Clown
by Inverted Soul

like thoughts that continue to race.
Am I losing my mind,
or am I just that insane.

All These
by Pijush Biswas
All these, Distress, Strain, Owe
Fight to the ages' demand
Or, crave for attainment, to bestow
The world, hand by hand.
All these, Love, Mercy, Pity
To the world's highest fulfilment
Manifest the eternity to beauty
When Hate, too long, spent.

Downcast
by Inverted Soul
Here it comes again
there is no one left here
to hurt me, but me
alone inside my head
I walk along the ledge
thoughts never to be said
to me their all pretend
I'm twisted, spun within
wear a self degrading grin
it's all happening again

Broken and Frowned
by Inverted Soul
As I am losing control
I go for broke
throughout the madness
and begining to choke
Alive in my mind
I can't speak for myself
spent half of my life
I've spent it in Hell

Fractured and Failed
by Inverted Soul
When everything fails
why try again
It's not like others
will save you
just seemingly torture you
and tell you
that wrong your again
as you try to figure it out
you become ever so more
panic stricken believing
