BITTERNESS

Bitterness is a weed in the garden of the heart.  Do not plant it.
A life, bitterness will always seek to tear apart.  Do not plant it.

 

Discouragement and anger are the seeds from which bitterness will grow.  
Discouragement is the seed from which it always starts.  Do not plant it.

 

Disgruntled emotions create a bitterness within each of us.
Disgruntled feelings create bitterness in the heart.  Do not plant it.

 

Bitterness, anger, and low self-esteem always destroy their victims.
Anger, and low self-esteem create a bitter heart.  Do not plant it.

 

Disgruntled emotions create a bitterness within T. W. Smith.
My life, bitterness will always seek to tear apart.  Do not plant it.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Been experimenting with new "Forms" lately.  This is the third Ghazal I've written.  It's based on what I'm currently going through in my relationships with certian important people in my life.
