Of whoever I used to be
This body that I carry
A burden and brutal reminder
Of the vanished part of me
Hollow; without core
Or substance to live
Blank and meaningless
A life without life to give
Each breath more futile
Than the next
Like the shallow hope of yesterday
Smothered to the death
I am but the mold
Of something only better
And desolate all the same
That screams my gory shame
This is false
This flesh that breathes for living
But lives for nothing
Is dying
It wilts
Like a flower, at the core of darkness [comments] => 2 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 61 [informant] => bonita2689 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

wow that is an amazing poem. i know what it's like to have such a struggle in yourself, i too am experiencing the same situation right now. its not picnic, we must accept that nothing is perfect. but you're not useless, your life has meaning, you just might not have found that meaning yet. keep your chin up and pen on the paper, i enjoy your writing and am certain others do as well.
luv n hugs,
jennie*
