Shovel Blisters Make Interesting Patterns
Would it matter
if I spelled it all out
wrote verses about the ache
that keeps me company
familiarity breeding contempt
for my stupidity
You say it's good for the soul
but I just keep digging a deeper hole
to bury the same shit
in a mass grave of what the fuck
am I doing?

Dear PS,
I had to chuckle at how relatable I found this poem. You nailed the sentiments with such brevity and directness I’m in awe! Fabulous write. H🌷

Thanks, H! Always so kind. I'm glad it's relatable, but hope you don't feel this way too often. The RL add was a lovely surprise for me on this on, so thank you for that, as well.

As somebody who finds little comfort in writing about pain and sorrow, I totally relate to this poem. I appreciated the brutal honesty. Well done.

Thank you. Your comment and addition to your reading list are very much appreciated. The words aren't always there, and when they are, don't always feel like they mean much. Always good to know when something is relatable to others.
