A Battle Never to be Won

Anger, Poetry

Like most
There are many parts
To who I am
Some
(and this is hard to admit)
Aren’t so bad
Those are the parts
Filled with far too much
Empathy
Those are the parts
That volunteer
That buys a sandwich
For the homeless guy on the corner
That would give my life
To save another
But that’s only half the story
If even that
There’s the other side
Forged from a life
That’s shouldn’t have been lived
Skimming
Just below my skin
It is filled
With wrath and rage
An anger
That’s hard to control
It scratches and digs
Trying to get out
This is the side
That wants to hurt
Those it thinks deserve
It wants to punish
To pull flesh from bone
To set fire
And watch it all burn
These two sides
They constantly battle
Tearing me apart
Ripping me
From the inside out
This battle
Well never have a winner
It is a battle
That can never be won

The Monster Within

Anger, Poetry

The way you keep pushing
As if you want to see
The dark monster
That you know me to be

But I am not that monster
No not the one you think
I am so much darker
And you’re pushing me to the brink

Please don’t go stirring
These dark things within
The monsters won’t stop
Once they awaken and begin

These Hands

Anger, Love, Poetry

These hands
Have felt the soft warmth
Of love
Gentle and caressing

They have also felt
The sharp heat
Of rage
Hard and unforgiving

Both filled with a passion
Different but the same
And I don’t always know
Which I preferred the most

Drowning

Anger, Poetry

You saw me drowning
And rather than
Extend a hand
You turned your back
And let me sink

I don’t know
If it was because
You were confident
I would survive
Or if it was because
You didn’t care
If I survived or not

But I did
And I’ll never forget
The image of your back
When what I needed most
Was your hand

I Remember Too Clearly

Anger, memories, Poetry, Sorrow

I remember
All too clearly
All the things you did

I try
To let it go
To simply walk away

But then
Just like that
It all comes crashing back

I remember
All too clearly
All the things you did

I want
To let it go
To leave it in the past

But then
I close my eyes
And I see it all again

I remember
All too clearly
All the things you did

I need
To let it be done
To let it all just wash away

But then
I remember
Everything single thing you did

I Know What Pain Is

Anger, pain, Poetry, Sorrow

I know what pain is
It’s broken mirrors
And bloody knuckles

I know what pain is
It’s scattered dreams
And twisted nightmares

I know what pain is
It’s dark and dusty rooms
And innocence lost

I know what pain is
It’s a broken family
And terrible secrets

I know what pain is
It’s loving someone
And not being loved back

I know what pain is
It’s uneven graves
And tarnished headstones

I know what pain is
It’s masks with fake smiles
And the ugly truth beneath

I know what pain is
It’s who I am
And everything I’m not

I know what pain is
It’s that day you died
And I did not
