I often write out short poems to get a sense of my own emotional complexities and to feel something in times where I feel somewhat numb. I'd like to get a poetry topic going, I searched for one and couldn't find any. So this will be a topic for those who want to share poetry and comment on each other's.
Pain
Everyone I've ever known
Has left me to be alone
I'm desperate for connection
Of virtuous reflection
All I really wanted was love
And I was always left with a lack thereof
My head pounding with rage
heart aching in this cage
Rejected, neglected, and played
Dissected, elected and made
To feel as if I could trust
Completely blinded by lust
How do I escape this mental prison
Where are those with the keys?
To be from the dead risen
Is all I ask please.
