“I couldn’t help but notice your pain.”
“My pain?”
“It runs deep, share it with me!”
Unable to make progress,
falling short of all expectations,
my disdain for life is ever increasing.
With daily struggles tormenting me,
my past is haunting of me.
How did I become so bitter?
Is it that I forgive, but not forget?
With every insult piercing my soul,
I’ve grown cold: Cold hearted that is.
Feelings placed evenly in a jar.
Putting your feelings over my own,
neglecting my own responsibilities.
Grudge free, but not guilt,
my life is surely passing by.
Trying to feel emotion
with ice running through my veins.
My heart has become my domain.
Protected at all cost
Numb, but free of pain.

Real talk. I've been there, done that myself. Sometimes I wonder if I still reside @ this place where my heart stands so guarded, to the point where I refuse to be left heartbroken ever again.
Good stuff.
I can relate Don, Been there too! I love this Champ, great poem!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yea, I am just getting out of this phase...Mmmn havent posted here in sometime I see...

Yeah, this was real for me as well. But over time and with prayer, the ice melts, the winter of your life, turns to Spring and ushers in a gentle warm breeze that quickly reminds you that something wonderful is in bloom...a new beginning.
@Mizrepresent.....so true. it's def not my current state, but at one point I had become numb, it was then that I went back 2 the basics. Relying on GOD!
I like it... i love everything u write....geez lol =)
@Neurosis.....Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. :)
I too can relate to this poem. In fact i think sometime we all result to it after being hurt repeatedly. I kno its easier said then done but that maybe we all can try to forget as well as forgive becus it jus leaves u an emotional wreck n can hinder any good thing that comes along to u thats worth keepin. And beside u dnt want something to consume u wit takin all of ur power to affect ur day to day living. Take back ur power n dnt giv no one or anything to have rights ova ur life.
Great post!!
@peaches27... couldn't agree more :)
