The Urge To Kill.
Mutley Ravishes said:
Are you talking to yourself in this one?
Wait, I just checked the comments! Now, this recalls an old teaching where the demons are converted into guardians. Isn’t that a mystery?!

The Urge To Kill.
Radha Raghunathan said:
Betrayal often enrages. But should that rage be allowed to engulf one\'s mind to the point of throttling the betrayer\'s neck? More so, what if the betrayer is one\'s own mind? There is no need to continue to be pally with such a victimiser. But, one suggestion is to get the best bargain by making the victimiser one\'s ally at arm\'s length.

The answer to your closing questions is YES. This sort of self-evaluation is dangerous and often ends in personality disorders. The greater good comes from accepting the frailty of human beings and forgiving whoever is the object of your wrath. If it is you, remember that you are human as well. What is done is done. All that matters is today and your tomorrows. If something in your past is troubling you, perhaps you can make amends without resorting to violent means.
Your poetry was engrossing and captivating. It draws the reader in and makes them think. What more can one ask of a poet? Enjoyed my time with this poem. - Phl A.

This actually hit me deep, loved it, it\'s melancholy because sometimes you miss the person who you used to be and kind of hate the present self but amidst it all, you can always grow and improve...

The Urge To Kill.
David Wakeling said:
This is certainly a great poem about a dark subject. Without knowing what the Ex friend did to cause such hatred it is hard to take sides. The Good Book says Thou shalt not kill but by the same token Deliberate cruelty is unforgiveable. This is a deep poem made me concerned.

Tobani as I read this at first I pictured this as another individual then it felt like one talking to the dark side of oneself. Who has not wanted to kill their dark side? And who has not had that dark side with them all their life as their confidant and best friend? A deeply psychological write for me.

you are absolutely right - a 6 may see like a 9 to the person standing on the other side - so one cannot be stubborn in certain matters/situations

Sometimes truth is hard to accept, but just because we don\'t agree with someone\'s perspective doesn\'t mean their viewpoint isn\'t valid. Beautifully minimal!!!

Secret chambers of the mind... how true that is. Reality can be cruel, but revealing, too. I like the message your poem conveys. I thought about the hidden secrets of the mind. Thank you for the strong reality check. Excellent!

Sorry to hear that. I have had negative feedback as well, mostly on other sites and although one feels the sting the kindness of others helps one to forget and sometimes one has to purge what is held inside to feel better.
