It's a funny feeling When you finally give up Stop putting time and effort into lost causes Cease fighting battles you will never win It's almost liberating Almost. Til you feel the void make its presence known And defeat is more palpable than ever before But you say nothing Stay silent; it's not worth it Too much pain in speaking And hasn't enough agony already been endured? Agony... It can be beautiful Sweet release In a pain so sharp You wonder if your heart will finally cleave in two And almost wish it would Almost. But that would end the pain And you like Agony a bit too much Oh, the love of pain, The sweetest of a all perversions |

Dear Cierra, pain still makes us feel alive. And pain when "savored" consciously automatically pushes us ahead into that longed for place where there is unadulterated joy. Excellent poem, to which I relate. Margherita |

"It's a funny feeling When you finally give up Stop putting time and effort into lost causes Cease fighting battles you will never win It's almost liberating Almost. Til you feel the void make its presence known And defeat is more palpable than ever before" Depth, purely felt. Enjoyed your style and use of words in this write. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
