Questions of a tortured soul

Sometimes I wonder...

If you're told something enough times...

How are you not to believe it?

Words pierce my heart more effectively than any dagger could,

Am I really a writer...a poet?

Or do I just fancy myself to be one?

You can believe something all you want,

Yet you need some solidity behind the belief.

I can't help but think more frequently than few,   

Am I boring...or am I just allowing my life to become so,

Everyday day becomes a routine,

An annoying drone sounding from the voices I'm too familiar with,

Incessant white noise pours their mouths,

I become nothing more than a puppet,

A stress reliever to those who know how weak my heart beats.

When your mind becomes tortured,

You learn to torture yourself,

Your conciousness dims as your souls begins to die,

And your eyes become clouded from the reality you live in.

There is much truth behind your words, and this poem was relatable on many different levels. I love when you allow yourself to become vulnerable and write from the heart. Your thoughts flow effortlessly, speaking volumes. We all ask ourselves this question from time to time, as doubt settles in. Search for confidence, for inspiration, and come here, letting us view your word....your reviews speak for themselves. You my friend, are a writer, a very talented poet who is greatly respected her at WC.

good job i liked it a lot

Wow, I could really relate to this. I often ask myself and question if I am really a writer sometimes...especially when people tell me I'm not good at it. A week I left for school, my mom told me everything I write, all my poetry, was crap. And my dad sometimes tells me I'm not good at writing, that i just think I'm good at it...but anyways, this was beautiful and loved being able to relate to this. It's okay to question ourselves, but we really should thrive and go for what our passions really are. If it is writing or singing or anything else, we are to prove to people we are dedicated to it and won't give up the dream, that we'll do whatever it takes to capture and keep it.

You are a poet because you had the confidence to post this. Enough said. Word flow is emotional but vulnerable. Vulnerability gets much respect. You need to keep writing.

Your words speak truth, bare your soul, and read effortlessly. Never give in to doubt and monotony. Look for inspiration in every little moment. If you look, you'll find it.

Beautiful, mysterious write. Haunting in a way, yet we all could think such things. Interesting thoughts, friend.

Deep and poignant write, questions only a poet would think to ask. We look at the world through different eyes I suppose. We can be our own worst enemies but mostly we are true to our craft and that which truly lives within us. Bravo, nice read.
