The Birth Of Words

A feeling I had.

 

It’s too late to change

My life is already dying

I’m so sad and confused

And my heart is crying

 

I’m in so much pain

I’m against a wall

I’m addicted to the feeling

Of not feeling at all

 

Words don’t reach my mouth

Its words which scar my brain

Words so damaging

Intended to leave a stain

 

I’m wretched and useless

And confused inside my head

You’re the cause of my bleeding

It’s the words you said

 

You love to hurt

And don’t regret what you say

I hate our diseased connection

Can’t wait to go away

Author's Note

This was truly a long time ago

[Fabian G. Franklin]

We are all dying from the moment we are born. we can not let others; either their words or actions, define our own personalities. One also may not depend upon another for their happiness. It is a certain road to failure and misery. True happiness and self-worth as well as self respect must come from within. One must depend upon one's self to define one's personality and not be a whining puppet on a string. There is such a weakness and lack of character (even bad character) in society today that half the lot seem like sniveling cowards crying, "Oh, pity me, life is so hard." Well, there is no monopoly on pain and everyone suffers. The only difference is how we react to the trials and burdens of life. Do we throw a pity party or do we roll up our sleeves and set to work to improve our situation? This is sad, not because of the content but because of the worthless feeling that propagated it.

Wow. Very deep poem and very well written.
Easy to read and even easier to relate to.
I loved it.

This is the kind of poetry that joins the writer and reader by a heart-string. Good job.

Excellent lines.

Well written and feelings I relate to.

Others don't know how much damage they cause with just a word.

Thanks for entering my contest and good luck.

Oh, it is so true.. when one falls into depression, they relish in it. it becomes a comfortable state. it's all they know.
