Emotions that are real
Causing agonizing pain
No love shall I gain.

The burden of regret
Guilty feelings go unchecked
I leave disaster in my wake
While I try to not be fake.

I feel so alone
And it chills me to the bone

A broken heart
A shattered soul

They're all I have left to call my own
Until the day comes when the good Lord calls me home.

To Be Me

Topic: selfstruggles

The things that I feel
Emotions that are real
Causing agonizing pain
No love shall I gain.

The burden of regret
Guilty feelings go unchecked
I leave disaster in my wake
While I try to not be fake.

I feel so alone
And it chills me to the bone

A broken heart
A shattered soul

They're all I have left to call my own
Until the day comes when the good Lord calls me home.

come back to me
or is it me come home
from where I must have left

I love this magnification
of self doubt
which evokes such dread
which must be expressed
even as though no one
might be listening

It reminds me a bit
of myself

who could ever compare
their love next to another love
when it is not love

you reached out and pulled me in

Thank you!

Peace!

Lifes struggle told directly and succinctly.
Pain poured out for the world to see.
Nice write
