Despair Poems

Despair Comes Knocking

When despair comes knocking
There’s no one home
Gone out shopping
And not alone

Despair comes knocking
Every damn week
I try not to care
But he still leaves me weak

But despair comes knocking
Every single day
I keep shooing him off
And sending him away

Despair comes knocking
But what does he want? 
Is he here to stay? 
Or just here to taunt?




This despair is not yours

This despair is not yours.
You don't have to wonder
Whether I win, whether I lose.

This despair is not yours.

Rather laugh at it loud
Say all these are false doubts
That in them lie no wounds

This despair is not yours.

For inside thy laughter
Lies a living power.
Deep in it, some whispers: 

'This despair is not yours'





Trapped In Despair

I was placed in sadness 
I was placed in darkness
I was placed in fear
Trapped in a place called despair
Despair is cold
Despair is unkind
Despair he lingers all the time
You find yourself clinging to the light
Just praying for that light 
Please light save me for I am…trapped in despair
Then you see the light and it turns to your eyes
it turns to your smile
at the sound of your angelic voice…
the place grows warm
all fear flees 
the light that is your eyes fills this place the darkness is chased away
My sadness has vanished
You extend a firm hand and rip me from despair 
You wrap your arms around me and whisper in my ear…
Never again will you be…trapped in despair.





My Despair Comes And Goes

My Despair comes and goes
It is not the ultimate despair, 
The despair of those who have forever lost hope 
The despair of those who have lost what they never will regain
The despair of those for whom there is no way out
No way to begin again
No hope in any way forever

My Despair comes and goes
It is a small Despair compared to many others
When I am in it of course 
I believe it like theirs Hopeless forever hopeless

But then a new day begins, 
Or a friendly voice says a friendly word
Or something good and positive happens 
Or the weather changes
Or some hurt goes away 
Some sign comes
And slowly slowly 
I am not there anymore. 

My Despair comes and goes
It is not the worst Despair
Not yet-

Yesterday I was in Despair 
Today I am almost already not

I pray my writing this 
Will help some despairing reader feel 
They too will hope again.







Despair

Despair outloud
Despair and fear
Its all despair when noone hears
My soul is screaching
It mouns to you
Its like a whisper, its like a flute
The midnight fence, that holds me back
It aches my heart with metal bars
Despair is all i know
Despair its lonely yet its my home
Despair is simple, it holds 7 words
Despair
come join me
We wont die alone







DESPAIR IS DARKNESS

Despair is darkness-
Despair is death inside and death in the world and death in one’s own sad soul- 
Despair is no way out -
Despair is the place where one is forever stuck -
Despair is the realization that one has done what one could – and one is not going anywhere else- 
Despair is the admission of failure-
Despair is no sign of help anywhere around-
Despair is so much lost-
Despair is one‘s life is over-
Despair is regret- 
Despair is the sense that one will never have the time to have another chance -
Despair is ‘it’s finished’-
Despair is no way out-
Despair is going down and more down and more dark and more afraid all the time -
Despair is the scream which hurts and does not stop the hurting -
Despair is the understanding that even Death will not save one -
Despair is that the pain will never end-not even with death. 
Despair is no way out again and again and again- without end.







DESPAIR OF THE EARLY MORNING 

Despair of the early morning
Despair of the darkness
Despair of the Despair
Despair of Old Age 
Despair of the road closed
Despair of nothing to do 
Despair of nowhere to go 
Despair of endless errands
Despair of money running out
Despair of the message of Despair 
One transmits to those one loves.

Despair that has to be resisted 
Despair that the light of the day 
Will help me overcome 
Despair I will pray my way out of 
Despair I will in the course of the day 
Sometime overcome.

Not the great Despair 
The unending Despair
The final Despair.

The small Despair of who I am and where I am now.
The Despair that still can be resisted, 
By the writing of a few awkward lines 
Early in the morning.






But Don't Despair

Despair, if you must –
But how's it going to pull you through? 
Despair, when you trust
Naught since then there's naught to do.
Despair, should you thrust
Aside your pride, your self-esteem.
And so despair, if it's dust, 
The only substance that you deem.
Despair, when a gust
Of slightly breeze can break your stance.
And do despair, when lust
Is your interpretation of romance.

But don't despair, if you can care
About the plight of any other being.
And you can focus on the help, 
Support, and altruistic further actions
For the seeing. Be believing, 
As despair will start receding
All around – simply since you found
A way to steer you clear
From this: the very cause of your despair! 

So give to others; give them all a helping lift: 
Despair, you'll find will disappear –
And that has got to be a well-deserved
And saintly gift!
