Dead Well

I am in a dead well.

Mother, you were beautiful then.

You are so sad now.  I am the cause of your ruin.

Father, you always loved.  You just couldn’t stand why.

I didn’t want to live your dream.

Sisters, I was once your darkest nightmares.

Brother, you are no longer with me, because I pushed you away.

I am, among many, in a dead well-

Very beautiful and sad at the same time. Love it!

Each of us has our role to play in the affairs of others. You must not deride yourself, that your presence may have had negative effects on their lives; they were just a few of many bricks which have gone into their making. The fact that you are aware of losses that were entirely of your causing (brother), is hopeful, and that alone is within your ability to rectify. Most thought provoking.

psychotraumatic gem of the darkest facets~

A dark tale. Easy to push people away. Hard to find your way back. I like the words "dead well". Made the poem a interesting poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

Well take my hand, it's time you made a stand.
Get up out of that Dead Well.

Dark thoughts lie behind your poem, well done

the feeling of guilt is strong through out this piece! among the many in the dead well; surrounded by remorse, nightmares and past failings and short comings! dark but great write!

and then the chest sinks in.
I like how this is written - each line is a push deeper into the well. Great write.
