    another jagged pill

    do you know what i think
    i think i know what i feel
    what goes on with me
    bends and breaks my will


    with shadows of doubt
    i wonder of my strength
    my words pouring out
    sometimes a mistake


    if i do not write the words that hurt
    if i keep them locked away
    would the feelings then revert
    back to a different pain


    to see the thoughts and pain inside
    the sorrow that i feel
    come across through words i write
    another jagged pill


    my thoughts that bleed upon the screen
    flowing from the hands
    the pain becomes a thing i see
    my attention it demands


    when I'm done and the title's on
    and its safely locked away
    for a moment all the thoughts are gone
    in that moment i am safe


    but when i dare to break the seal
    and revisit my painful words
    sometimes it seems so unreal
    how much they really hurts

    " if i do not write the words that hurt if i keep them locked away would the feelings then revert back to a different pain" Yes it will... My favorite line..."my thoughts that bleed upon the screen flowing from the hands the pain becomes a thing i see my attention it demands"... I know exactly what you mean... Keep expressing for your words I enjoy reading.

    thank you for reading and for commenting... i really appriciate your insight

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
