Rage and anger tears away at my soul.
I’m beginning to think that’s your ultimate goal.
I fight to suppress the emotions that engulf me.
Each time becomes harder with each let down, you see.
The problem with anger is the hatred it causes,
So the tears start to roll and the rage it just pauses.
Sure to play again with the next lie you tell,
It’s a vicious cycle, with marriage to hell.
Insanity is repeating the same thing hoping for something new
Call me crazy then, for this I now see I do.
With my eyes wide open and heart now cold,
I’m going to love me again and releasing your hold.

This was beautifully painful. An awakening to what suffering means and where suffering can still lead.

Thank you! Maybe that is something to look into!?
Rhymes and Heartache
make this a blues song. Thanks for sharing from the heart and head. Your skill a rhymer can only be exceeded (for me it is to be hoped) by your break out into beauteous open, free, and prosaic verse. You have a lot to share and a future in short story writing (again for me to be hoped)- it's fate. - Lady A
Again, thank you! The very
Again, thank you! The very first writing I did was a poem when my Dad passed away. I was 10 years old and completely devastated. Being able to write the poem helped me really release my emotions. I read it at his funeral and put the only copy in his casket with him.
