Pacing to and fro
Completely out of control
Clenching hands to fists
Gritting of teeth
Nails dig in, blood wells forth
No surcease is found
Pain is constant and alive
Battering soul to the ground
Can't go on like this
Thoughts chaotic swirl around
Carrying you away
You turn and rend
Feathers float on the air
Pillow torn in two
Nothing helps, what to do
Screaming silent in the air
Down in the pit
No hope anywhere...
Blackness of despair.
Won't go on like this

Peppermint35,
this is a prickly write, I felt your anger and despair. Hope it's not real for you. Excellent writing!
Be well

It was real at the time I wrote it, but things are better...poetry for me is better than any therapy I've ever found

I been there too...all of us have. Ron

Tears,
    salted and bitter,
        well up and flow.
Anger,
    a flame of rage,
        smolders and grows.
Thoughts,
    flicker of betrayal,
       because your secrets, all will know.
Time,
    As it trudges on,
        will allow these feeling to finally go
