Everyone must pour out

their soul

this no one denies

but sometimes

you start to believe

your own lies


Lies said to heal yourself

instead cause more pain

wake up from your nightmare and see

that you alone are the one

strangling yourself

in the end


Breathe the air in and out

hold your breath no more

stop the self torture

and live once again

cry tears of joy

not of self-pity

"stop the self torture"


Ohhhhhhhh so so true.  We usually torture ourselves more than anyone else can.

Good write.

Thomas, I need to print this poem out and look
at it whenever I start having a pity-party.
