Falling Victim To Looks Of Disgust

Falling Victim To Looks Of Disgust

A Poem by Jock Engelman

My tears pour over photographs of the past;
Memories that I now wish would fade fast;
Encrypted deep within my dark mind;
The thoughts I am attempting to pen down;
Tears smudge the paper's black wounds running, oh Wow!
My pain's noticeable in the inked words;

Fingers clench the tool of my expression;
Shaking violently due to agitation;
Grinding my teeth, wishing to scream out aloud;
Must regain control of my inner self;
Before I fall victim to my mental health;
And become another casualty to depression;

I chose to believe that there's no use running;
Cause yourself is all you'll end up loathing;
I don't care about anything but the truth;
Yet you stare at me with total disgust;
I feel the truth will set you free, it must;
That look burns in my mind, there is no escape;

I always felt true friends, close friends, was a lot like family in many ways. There sometimes just a lot of "stuff" that can get in the way of the relationships. When you can work through that "stuff," that's what makes them worthwhile to have.

Another good piece, sir.

This is really well written, i enjoy the flow of it. I know the feeling of losing someone close for what seems like almost no reason. Beautiful Poem.
