sometimes my words hits a vein so much so the poem leaks blood I've forgiven everybody except the one who seared my soul so my pen pierces a vein an artery maybe diluting the ink which courses through it its all symbolic anyway don't'ja'know its better than writing on my skin in the vein it is hidden and I can act as if it doesn't damage me pretending hiding from truth words about broken dreams dreams can be purchased with a handfull of falling stars maybe a measure of self-respect are my words mightier than my traumatized backward glances ©October 5, 2018 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

My first instinct is to staunch the flow (of blood and pain, not ink) I'm not one for giving advice that I myself cannot follow. But I know for myself, I have to learn how to let go of my traumatized past. It is way easier said than done, I'm finding. Forgiveness and hate cannot abide in the same place. Getting the hate to vacate is an issue. No wonder they say to forgive is Divine. ~L |
