Position:Home>Poetry> Does this get my message across? Your thoughts?Question:This is a poem of what is going on in my mind right now. Your thoughts on it? The Inner Torment At the edge of my heart I know there is good in me, But the pull towards misery Is more then I can fight. Pain is my brother And suffering my sister, Together for ten years We are inseparable. One leans on the other And we limp onward To a future unknown. Every thought I own, All goodness in my life Is tainted by affliction Unworthy am I To know happiness. Wicked is my mind That is should house Such a beast as her. Poisoned are my thoughts That I should let her Become part of me. The immortal brute, Created for comfort Became her own master And changed into Eternal anguish. Years of therapists Still cannot purge The want of pain From my system Nor the creature That lives inside And torments my day. No one understands And tears are all I have Who would have thought It all could have started At a Catholic school? Instead of friends There was only harassment And internal strife. For ten years I suffered, And it will last a life time. There is no undoing the pain They inflicted on me. Now all I can accept Is suffering in my life, No happiness is aloud, And if it were to come It would soon be lost In thoughts of its demise. When it becomes to much to bare There is oly one choice, To rid myself of the torment. Throns prick my skin And pills kill the pain Until death comes And takes away the agony Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is a poem of what is going on in my mind right now. Your thoughts on it?

I noticed that you had misspelled a few words, but more than that you used "aloud" which wouldn't be caught by spell check because aloud is a word- but you wanted "allowed" Also "bare" should be "bear" Thank you for allowing us the honor of reading your feelings.. Wow!!! I have read many poems that express these kind of thoughts and ideas, and yours really does so in a unique way. Unlike so many, which are often a boring read, yours makes the reader reflect. You don't just tell the story straight out, like an artist on hi canvas, but let listeners read between the lines. I'm sorry about what you're going through, and I think it's great that you can write about it. Maybe writing can be therapy for you, like it is for so many other people. I really love your style, although I do think that you could shorten it a little bit, perhaps removing the 5th verse and combining some others. Overall, I think you did a nice job, though. Good luck and keep on writing! likes sad stories... sounds like a depressing poem...honestly! peace be to you! |
