Deleted Poems
The reflection
cast by my writing
slaps me in the face
leaving welts
revealing a specter
of a person
a shadow soul
scorched from within
deleting writes
every other day
a way of erasing my shame
vainly trying
to retrace the steps
in the ashes of my past
cast by my writing
slaps me in the face
leaving welts
revealing a specter
of a person
a shadow soul
scorched from within
deleting writes
every other day
a way of erasing my shame
vainly trying
to retrace the steps
in the ashes of my past

I think I understand this piece, Brenda. Just my personal interpretation from my very own views, but once you have released your secrets verbally, a heaviness is lifted from your shoulders. On paper, the print is bold, 3-D and jumps out at you. Release, resolve, 'remove' and restore.
I love this! Xo

Takes a lot of Strength to bare oneself Dear Crim-tis how we analyze ourselves...many cant face realities...I have hard time dealings with it...I Love this Write...it is control...we shape and mold our life by grabbing bits liked and throwing out what doesn't suit us in the Now-Excellence!!!

There are times when you just have to say it... if later, you remove it, at least you have taken the time to think about what needs thought...

Embrace it however long you want and then release it into thin air and let go, it's yours to do what you want. We're just grateful that you'd share such pieces of your life.

There's really not much to add after all those comments above.
You're a beautiful soul who's been through what most people only read about, you're so brave for writing it and allowing all of us to glimpse you strength and beauty.
Love you hun xo

*Sigh* I can imagine the painful memories that those poems bring back. It's not a good idea to relive your past while trying to move forward with your life. This scribe addresses that quite well.
Well-written piece (:

Demons are like fishies, they don't like the open air. Once their dead it doesn't matter what you do with the bodies.

You oughta leave them. Especially since you don't save them in your computer. It gives you an idea of your writing progression and for you (like me) as a confessional writer, a history and journal of sorts. Not to mention you've been deleting the best ones!
