As tears of weakness fall.
Who am I to be your echo?
When words can crush my soul!

I want to be a freedom wish,
That flies above the stars.
And yet with all my honesty,
I cannot heal my wounds.

For you are all my eyes can see
Of everything and more,
And yet such thorns pierce me yet!
Who can I be to you?

I am the one to comfort,
A healing entity.
Despised within for all I
Know, I never can succeed.

For in my heart there is
Decay, my flesh is death/'/s
Own smile, for even as I take
A breath, my image is gone!

None of what I say to you,
I have truly heard.
Because I will return to
The earth, and I will
Have failed.

Very good indeed. You/'/re not failing in your writing, that/'/s for sure. Do you want to borrow this hairshirt?

Perfect title for this poem! Amazing!!!

Sad, anguished, and scary. I could feel every word.

Thank you for a great read.

A pleasure to be back reading your thoughts. I can relate to these days/nights. Alone in our own perceived darkness waiting. I enjoy writing that captures and yours always does

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
