Well... there's a lot of pain and rage in me...

Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!

I know the phrasing is harsh, but that came effortlessly though writing the poem was everything but easy...

That's so true, Todski!  
 
Everything is better than keeping it inside... I'm glad I found Poetry!

Amazing dark write. Full of intense emotion. All of which can be felt.

Brilliant ink 💓

Thank you so much for your comment!  
   
That you could feel the emotion is the greatest compliment I can get :-)

Loved it! :)

Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate it!!!  
 
I think a lot of people can connect with this poem, that's why (after some hesitation) I decided to post it...

It's one of my favorite songs by Pink Floyd!  
I'm so glad you know it, because most people are unfamiliar with it...

Ball and chain, I felt this one endlessly
because it's grasp'd by my own depths

Chills love, chills and flashes you gave me
while roaming here in your lands.

Wow Howlings, you blow me away with your comment!

That you could feel my words and that they gave you chills is the most beautiful compliment you can give me! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it!

So many of us have looked into a mirror and wondered where we've gone.

I particularly like what you've done here:

I try to focus          
all I see is a fake          
smile wary eyes  

With the line breaks and no punctuation, this can be read quickly through as is, or if one stops to just take a look at it, there's a bit of an echo, and unspoken repetition here that highlights what you're saying, what you're seeing in your mirror: All I see is a fake; a fake smile; smile wary; wary eyes. I found that really interesting when my eyes drew me to it.

Thank you so much for your comment and for mentioning that stanza!

It took me longer than the rest of the poem and I tried a lot of adjectives to match my 'eyes' before I was satisfied with the result... I'm so happy that you noticed what I was trying to create in those lines :-)

I appreciate your feedback tremendeously!

Very intense. Feel the rage building up

Yeah... there was (is) a lot of rage...

Thanks for you comment, much appreciated!

....the powerful beauty of unbridled anger after the fall, nothing to lose, Nothing at all.
