Sickness

Sickness

I feel

Poor emotions

I feel

Cold and bitter emotions

I feel

Sickness

In my eyes in the morning sun

Sickness

I feel

Words not spoken

Sickness

Only shared through telepathy

Sickness

Not talking to you

Sickness

Talking to myself

Sickness

Hatred towards myself

Sickness

Pain and joy

Sickness

Laughter and games

Sickness

Captivated thoughts

Sickness

In my eyes

Sickness

Blood from my nose

Sickness

Blood from my hands

Dislike

Sickness

and pain by no any other name, but painful beginnings and a painful end.

Read between the lines and I see a heart riddled with pain and hurt. Anyone who writes...truly writes...knows any piece one writes has a certain amount of themselves portrayed. I will pray for you friend. I pray the Lord bring you peace amidst whatever life has brought your way and that joy not chase pain, but that joy would be the victor and leave pain in the dust!

Shannon Jacobyansky - Thank you! BUt to be honest, it was not about me. It was an average human being I see around me. I been observing and paying attention. I am so freaking happy, things couldn't be better.

'Hatred towards myself

Sickness'

Yes, that can be relevant.

I think everyone can relate to having at least experienced one of the symptoms embedded in your poem. A small peek into the suffering that many people endure. Nice work.

Leon Basin said...

G. - Thanks. That is what I was trying to convey.
