�BITTERNESS�

�BITTERNESS�

Lashing out at those around you,
at the same time despising yourself.
Wanting everything anew,
knowing your life can�t arrange itself.

Refusing to let others in,
so you hold on to your bitterness.
Day to day battles within,
at one with darkness.

Looking for any reason, to hate.
When you�re in the unforgiving grip.
Let go, before it�s too late.

GREAT WORK BROTHER .HUGS(:

[Mr. Lopez]

I thought that this was an great poem worth much praise.Good job.

[Candle in the wind]

Wonderful and hits you like a nail on the head I have voiced a similar realisation in Introspection and let me try.It is uncanny and yet so difficult to apply

[None]

This is incredible. The feelings described in your poem are those so difficult to put a finger on. When you become unhappy, it shows and leaks out in all areas. Your poem really hit me in a good way--a terrific write.
