A poem i once wrote...

[@ndy]

Thank you for sharing Xenos. It reminds me how hard life can be when you feel alone. x
I write alot like that too.
I have a similar poem I'll share from a down time in my younger life, it's really intreasting to look back on now and see how I was seeing a reflection of me then. Like you I found expressing things on paper helped me let go of them

The seed.

Strip me, Rape me,
See me standing there.
Standing tall, standing bare,
regard me without care.

You walk, you watch
each mask you meet
with similar glancing eye
your mind is in oblivion
your life simply a lie.

My gaze upon your faces,
greets similar everywhere,
reinforcing the conformity,
by your cold collective stare.

So Afraid Alone I brace myself,
you leave me standing bare.

Though stripped and hurt,
No grudge I'll hold,
It's not my chosen way,
with regrets discarded
and a lesson learnt
I can still live for the day.

My souls exposed,
My mind is weak,
You've taken all you need,
Again I'll grasp my strength and will,
To hold and grow like seed.

On what you've left,
I'll build again,
An image which you'll see.

For you'll never know,
And you just can't see.
The growing part,
The changing spell,
The yearning learning me.
