where sleeps unlived, my self expression.

buried by stones, diverse contentions,

Poetic Purgatory

where sleeps unlived, my self expression.

Buried I lie soiled, unclaimed,

I can relate to that stanza so much. A great
poem that took what I am struggling with and
put it into words. I honestly don't know what to
say except thank you for sharing this and I
hope this poem is not truly how you are
feeling.
