An Anxiety

I pushed it way
the moments of rapture
filled with arbitrary sorrow
it was magnanimous.
I was foiled
limping away from
validated arrangements,
I would've forgiven you
but didn't.
My knees bruised
with prayer
I choked on my
syllables
there was nothing
where there once was
many
A plethora of shame
traced my silhouette
it wasn't fair.
The guilt migrated
from my fingertips
to my chest
Beating against my sternum
like baby birds
trying
to escape.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Omg...this was EPIC!

Your thoughts came across in such a violent nature. The emotions struck out at me over and over as I read. You can be very elegant with your words..but the blunt and unpolished nature of this poem is what really made your feelings come to life.
