Notice of absence from NinjaGirl
Will be absent until Jan 6th. Happy holidays to all!
Will be absent until Jan 6th. Happy holidays to all!
Blood dripping
Heart sinking
Tell me why the glass is wider than before
Will I break
The scales
No I pay for bleeding instead
I keep
Silent
But I work twice as hard
Won't take
Me seriously
What am I doing here then
But someone
Has to pay for
The blood on my hands of seven sins
I thought
I paid
Enough of a price with the pain
But she
Never stops
Paying the price of other's sin.

Heart felt this poem bleeds with emotion so well worded and so poetic. A fave
Thank you so much!
You are most welcome
Your poem "Copper Taste" revolves around the burden of guilt and the consequences of sin. It explores themes of suffering, sacrifice, and the emotional weight carried by individuals who feel responsible for the pain inflicted upon others. The poet grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the sense of being trapped in a cycle of paying for sins that are not their own.
Thank you for reading! I like your interpretation!
🥷, this hits like a pulse in the dark…quiet but relentless. The weight you’re carrying here comes through so clearly, especially in those lines about paying for what isn’t yours. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
