A World Void of Love
There is a fire in my mind. Its flames lick my insides and force my blood to boil.
My eyes are fueled with fury , as I look at a world so stagnant, it reeks of rotten flesh and decay
Pungent and odious the stench blackens my soul, which sinks down into a depth of complete and utter despair. The pressure is relentless, this world lays like a heavy burden. I cannot withstand its cumbersome body. I crave light. Longing for release I attempt to rid myself of all this lusterless matter. But it holds me down, tears at my flesh and opens wounds. I bleed and cry, confused by this maddening world.
"Release me!" I scream, but my trembling voice is lost in the void. The darkness eats my words and spits back in my face anguish and hate.
I am sinking more into the ever darkening world of rejection. Amidst the twinkling lights of the stars which shine to sell me false hope. I am nothing more than a wilting, frail flower in a toxic land. Never to feel the real sun. All nourishment has been banned.
I will never bloom or show my true colours. For they are suppressed and left lifeless, in a world so rancid and void of love

I also finally let go of someone, i was always doing wrong or never being up to his or his friends standard's I even was the culprit of making unladylike faces. Please try not to let the what ifs drive you mad, & they will if you hesitate or look back. Badassery is what I read in your work so good for you & if it's still painful trust me it will eventually ease so that upon looking back you'll be proud of your badass self. Very much enjoyed. Sincerely,

Thanks so much for reading and the supportive comment. So sorry you found yourself in this same position. I couldn’t take anymore, physically and mentally my body and entire being had said enough. No one has the right to feel empowered over another. It took me along time to stand up to this person. Who I hope leaves me be now. I am very grateful you shared a little about your own experience. I do feel I have done the right thing. I look forward to reading some of your work too. Many thanks

The mind, body & spirit can only endure for so long not to mention the self image in one's mind. Egads, such a messy mess, I truly hope he's far away with his thumb out or in a ditch, whichever comes first, as payment due of course. You have a beautiful one,

Danny, yes someone thought they could break me into submission but I stood up to them in the end. The last three years I have put up with feeling suppressed. Crushed by this persons desire to control every thought and decision I make. It was a relief to finally let go and writing this piece was like a final release. I loved your feedback and understanding. Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I look forward to reading your work also

Wow this a great piece! I love your wording, "as I look at a world so stagnant, it reeks of rotten flesh and decay" And
"I am nothing more than a wilting, frail flower in a toxic land. Never to feel the real sun. All nourishment has been banned." Are my faverouite lines, very powerful writing, I feel there is some very dark anger in you. Can't wait to read more.

Hopeful sad poem.
... ...
If ... *There is a fire in your mind*,... your soul has become structural.
So love is not going to ... a-void ... you.
...
Graham Nash's song - Love Has Come -
< Love can find you, love can find you,...You've got to be there, someone will care >

Thanks for sharing and big hugs to you, it can feel a constant struggle in this life at times. My nerves feel shattered from it all. But I am trying to piece myself together and be happy. Its all I want is happiness. But I am sure that is the case for most of us. I hope you find your happy

This poem is so deep. Too much contemplation of the world which is " beyond repair''. Actually you can't but join the destructive dark forces go roleplaying and make some contribution to it But there is always a spark of infinite LOVE deep inside to gift someone who is worth it.
