My Words (12/3/02, JDC)

Is it just a self-fulfilling prophecy?
My vision is so unclear
Or is it an overwhelming fear
I ran out of words today
So sick of writing about my despair
Broken hearted, beyond repair
So repulsed by myself
What more is there to say?
I make myself feel this way
I open my mouth and ugly comes out
Everyone would stay away from me
If they could see the horror that I can be
But, alas I ran out of words today
No soothing phrases of comfort spew from my pen
It’s beyond a matter of when
This time I have killed myself
I gave up way too soon
Penciling in my own doom

Susan,

~Welcome to Passions~!

You are in the right place; you just keep penciling your doom (though haven't seen any other poems of yours)
you'll find a wonderful support group here to chase the gloom away and
appreciate your ability of speaking your mind poetically, as you've done with this poem. I heard your heart and soul loud and clear. Well-written.

Hugs and warm regards, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
        "Desiderata"

This is your second poem I've read and I like it very, too.
As Pat said, this is a wonderful place to write about whatever feelings you are having. there are always friends here with open arms and hears to encourage.

I love all you guys already!  This poem isn't as dark as it seems (I am a drama queen with my words).  It is about a fight I had with the guy I am seeing.  

Thank you all so much for the input!

Susan
