Too dark
inside me
to look up
to look out
and see
that light
which
though all
around me
I shun
I push away.
Don't want
to see.
Won't see.
Don't want
to be seen.
Don't speak
to me !!
I remember
those feelings.
Getting from there
to here?
I don't know
how i did it.
No plans,
no pills,
no recollection really.
Different person.
So...
is there
a message
to pass on?
Again, I don't know.
I'm lucky you see
I'm a poet.
I just wrote it
out of my life.

a clever message here contained within a message, wrapped within a poem... thanks sir.... N
Like a cabbage? I like it, poetic veg. Cooked al dante..... a bit of 'bite' left in it. Thanks Neville.
just the way I like it.....
A very inspiring theropoetic read my friend - am so glad you made it to where you are now - - by writing it out
It's so true you know, and i don't know how i did it. Thank you Fay.
I read this a few times now and each time I feel something different the end sums it up so well my friend.
As if you took my feelings and showed me them in words.
Thank you pointing me to this, outstanding written masterful thoughts.
Always appreciated
Much peace and respect
Dan it just happened. I think reading, and responding to, other poets dilemmas on here is as much a part of self help as anything else. Thanks my friend.
Great piece - love it DA
Thanks M.E. it just wrote itself.
Poets say, let others contemplate.
That takes some thinking through... its right tho.
Thanks for sharing *DA* ~ much food for thought !
Poetry comes form inside ~ from the HEART !
For us to experience what you experience you must
First externalise it & Share it with all of us in a POEM !
Once that POEM is in the Public Domain its inluence is Eternal !
But it does not stop there because we who recieve YOUR MESSAGE
INTERNALISE IT and then ~ we internalise it and spread it !
The moving hand doth write and having writ move on .....
Nor all thy piety nor wit can move it back to cancel half a line
Nor all thy tears blot out a word of it !
This is why on a *PUBLIC* Poetry Group we must be very
careful what we write and how we comment verbally on
what others have written ! We should always value the
Poetic Freedom & Opportunity of MPS and never ever
abuse it !
Peace & Joy to YOU & YOURS
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Cor, switch off.. u sound like a teacher. Go humanise yerself. LOL
It is the one thing that being a poet you can do, you can set out your life (our lives) into words and that makes life easier to bear.
Life is wonderful.
Sharing others dilemma on here and genuinely relating to them is as much a part of it as any.
Another great one! Yes, that’s why I write, to externalize feelings to heal myself. Share my experience, strength, and hope as well.
I write as i feel mostly. Sometimes i just try to write something funny. I have no particular style, i hope in the end that my output has a flow or rythmn and is understandable. I look forward to reading your output and commenting. Thanks for your words here.
