Images of suffering flow thru my mind,
Searching for answers impossible to find.
A tortured soul,
Life has taken its toll.
Hatred flows constantly thru my blood,
Another piece of heart falls with a mighty thud.
Visions of someone once loved,
Into my mind were shoved.
Memories of her bleeding,
Over and over they keep repeating.
She lays there dying,
I sit crying.
Days pass by,
After the funeral people begin to lie.
Life goes on so they say,
Every night I kneel to pray.
Flashbacks of a childhood rage,
Those same thoughts leave me on a dreadful page.
A childhood believed to be decayed,
Old events seem to be replayed.
Fighting to free my mind and prevail,
Attempted but still i fail.
A young man's childhood stolen and raped,
On my mind deathly images are draped.
A life famished by hatred and pain,
Murdered due to murder in veign.
So listen to the winds and the quary,
And you'll hear my life's tragic story.

This sounds like a horrible situation.  Is this really part of your "life's tragic story"?  You have written about it very well though, the poem is great.

Nice one pal, but very dark. I hope this unfortunate situation went by quick and you prevailed and only got stronger from it. Good luck with the future and post more.

So happens this is the first poem I read today..something was telling me to read it..and I guess I'm glad to have..I mean I say there is a reason for everything..but my heart and soul goes out to you in every way possible, I'm sorry that such a beatiful piece was inspired by something tragic..life is funny like that I guess..I don't know whatelse to say...but I feel choked up and I hope I sound sincere enough..do take care..and I'm hoping to read more of your poetry..

Love,
Kristen

It is good that you are dealing well with this.
And hey, if through one's death you are so inspired, there is something to be grateful for, is there not?
Don't let one situation haunt your life.  It is the past, and the past is nothing more than dead time.  Don't forget this, but don't let it haunt you either.  Good luck.
