My life

Michael William Reid

The pain cuts deep and through it all

I sat back and watched myself fall

The positivity I try to manifest 

As I try as a man to be the best 

 

I try to fight i try to win

All for nothing I drown in sin

The face I put on as a start

Cannot hide my poisoned heart 

 

My life of running from mistakes 

Has caught me now I'm full of hate

Hate for myself hate for my life

Hate for my weaknesses nothings right

    liked your poem, there was a lot of pain in that piece. But I loved the flow and the rhyming was right.

        that last stanza reads so true
        and so relatable, why
        do we all
        assume it's us, that's the problem
        when we know, inside
        there is a caring human waiting
        for someone to notice, all
        we need
        is to find the right environment
        to showcase ourselves at our best
        but
        we're scared, 'as they say better the devil
        you know';
        so be it toxic families and friends
        or broken marriages or partnerships
        we stay and try to fight
        and showcase loyalty, knowing
        we would all be better of
        letting bygones be our pasts
        and searching for whatever next
        may free
        that goodness we harbour, and
        that best of us
        we yearn, to be..
        (such a sad cycle)
        a great write! thanks for sharing
