I don't want to know

I just don't want to know

I don't want to know, what you think of what I do.
I don't want to know, your twisted version of truth.
Everyday I live, you drag me through your torment.
Slowly and painfully, you facilitate my descent.

I don't want to know why you stare with bitterness.
When these eyes look at me, I see me less and less.
All I see is black, emptiness, aversion and so much pain.
And as hope steadily dwindles, nothing keeps me sane.

I don't want to know, the things you push into my mind.
I'm scared to see, how far down is, how high I have to climb.
This journey I face on my own, and you're a heavy burden.
Your only joy, I know would be when my soul ends up sinking.

"I dont want to know why my dysfunction is in your mind "
These lines remind me of heavy netal music . They will go beautifully with the music in the background .
I am glad you are writing dark peoms more .
Quick question : Are you a fan of heavy netal or hard rock ?

Thanks Raghib. No, I don't listen to heavy metal. I prefer pop songs.

An excellent, thought-provoking poem! It reminds me of how wrapped up we can get in our minds, feelings, and reflections of ourselves onto others. Yet, through it all your the author of your own story in life and you don't have to include the characters you meet if you don't want to. Its true we often times run into those that take us for granted and use us for their own agenda, but you can also meet those on your journey that wants to see the best in you for your life as well. I enjoyed this piece so keep writing and growing. take care :)

sometimes it really gets hard to accept the fact....even if we know it subconsciously......and when others use your love and trust in them as weapon or armor to manipulate your mind and thoughts ....it really hurts...... great work....

Three powerful stanzas comprise this poem! I much enjoyed it. every line packs a good punch and always adds to the message without much blockage. I say "much" for the musicality gets marred a bit in Stanza 2 Line 3 ("so much" is a tad too much for the line to handle), and with regards to "facilitate" in Stanza 1 and "steadily" in Stanza 2, better to go with words that are at least one syllable shorter than the words in question, for that would bring out their sounds more, instead of squishing the word into the line for the sake of using it (best not to go patter song unless creating a patter song. This poem deserves to be read with grace, so that every word is pronounced with the power that they emit). This is otherwise fantastic! Well done!
