        Obsessions Confession

I have
a confession
a thought
has my obsession
it is full
of hate and rage
wish I could
turn this page

need to turn
this thing about
it has me twisted
inside out
it’s sharp teeth
grind and bite
upon my heart
both day and night

I don’t know if I
can ever forgive
every day over
and over to relive
is it all just
too much to take
this wound
now my spirit breaks

it’s not that
I want to win
just not sure where
to begin again
one-day maybe
shall I find
this wound and I
together bind

Rage and pain are always painful.....

But you have expressed it all so beautifully...

Thank you

Helen, this stings the reader, I can relate, and the ending verse is powerful.  Wow - I love the way you express yourself.

I’ve an obsession of thoughts,
Perhaps personal tragedy brought,
Not the hate and rage
Just a darkness
Where I can see the next page.

There’s no need of turning for me,
For there is nothing near that I might see,
No feelings nor touch,
Emotionless
In the dark missing so much.

Lady,
    I've been there....This really digs deep into so much chaos of the soul.  May you find peace soon...
