The Sweet Scent of Hell

You can send me to hell and I'll stay the same.
I've been through pain and I know how to stay sane.
I grew up lost, still lost wondering, confused.
But I managed to make hurt feel great.
It all came with a high price paid by my soul.
A price that most people fear to pay.
It was either me or you ego whispered in my ear.
So I chose to change to what pain can't get through. A shell,  a wrap, a bubble. Sealed myself into the nothingness of alone.
Sealed my heart and used my brain.
Forged an armour from hate and learned to use it with ease.
Anger became my light to run for when I'm in delight or blue.
Frustration is a path I'll for sure follow.
Disappointment was a fear that I achieved, and now I live in disbelief.
Disbelief in my what I want to reach, in the broken system which we have to leave.  

Author's Note

"Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either." -Osho

The above lines were my favorite. Real thoughts leave us in broken pieces. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Survival is tough for a sensitive soul but it is only them who live. Soulful renditions.
