Divulging Secrets

Poem Commentary

written during a difficult time in my life, which did eventually pass

Divulging Secrets

It’s far easier to be honest with a blank piece of paper

Than it is with a loved one.

I can ‘say’ everything

That I’m too scared to give voice to.

I need purpose, motivation, a reason to live.

My life is spinning out of control in slow motion

And I’m not motivated enough to stop it.

I feel like a vital part of me is off in a far corner,

Huddled on the floor, crying.

I wish for endless sleep,

Or Heaven,

Or life,

But all seem unattainable.

A tremendously moving .. self philosophical write i've truly enjoyed reading .. the fine talent expressed .. i'm not enjoying the mood during this past situation .. i'm enjoying the talent. A great self purging work!

Yes, it was a dark time, but fortunately writing proved cathartic as always. Thank you for the kind review!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
