all this stress, I bear

all this bottled up hate.

The rising pain, it's driving

There's no place like home,
Yea right! I'm always alone.
Save your sympathy, can't you

be free from this agony,

its building inside. I feel
Incomplete this hole in my
soul, no piece to complete

be dead. Angry voices screaming

Very much like what I was feeling earlier, cutting myself with my words. Yeah, write it all is a start. Then, when it's habit you can start being selective. That's how I started (although sometimes things leak out onto the page I don't mean to be there). I hope it helps and I hope you fall in love with writing. Blessings. J.

What Timebot said.

Canyons are formed by ancient rivers - in this case, unconscious ones . . . archetypes? I'm musing here, and that's a good thing. Your poem made me.

Keep writing. It helps.
