Self destructive

When you’re knocking on a door

Whom do you expect on the other side?

A person whom you thought you can ignore…

Or the one who cracked your heart so  wide…

 

Turn back to the beginning

And get lost in the crowd

So you could relieve this confusing feeling

And your lil heart is beating sooo loud…

 

Why won’t I ever learn

To know better….

That there is no return

Once a heart takes a header

Beautiful! That was very deep. I hope to be able to write like that some day. "Turn back to the beginning and get lost in the crowd so you could relieve this confusing feeling and your lil heart is beating sooo loud" was my favorite part. Most people can relate to that feeling. I love the way you put it into words so perfectly.

Thank you A, i'm more than sure you'll succeed....just go along with your feelings, that is the greatest muse, that and music :)

Great piece, great flow with awesome message, I totally understand making
mistakes because of dumb wants or what I thought i needed. I have felt that last
stanza loud and clear. Thanks for sharing and b-blessed.

Great write Ana! The games the heart plays while stating its wants and needs, have us all looking like fools at one point or the other in our life. great visualization with the first stanza, cheers :)

[Ana B.]

Thank you Roshan! Well, that's why they're called heart plays...vicious lil things :)

It's so simplistic and beautiful with a great message, the is a must read for everyone who wants to live free and keep their little heat happy

[Ana B.]

:) I'm glad you think so.....i could use some of that simple happiness anytime....who doesn't... :)

Ohhhhh....such wise words.....though the title suggests repetitive openings of wrong doors....i.e. Opening one wrong door may just be a mistake and we all make them.....but doing it again....and again......is bound to destroy......so, the million-door question is, how do we ensure that we learn the lesson after the first wrog door? :)

[Ana B.]

Honestly, i dread the answer of this question.....but still, there's always beauty in discovery...Thank you for stopping by, SV :)

"Beauty in discovery".....mmmmmm.....possibly, but not always.......we could also be soothing our conscience to say that "but at least I learned this or that"......yeah right.......what did we have to lose, to gain one interesting (and often not even crucial) learning?......sorry, I am babbling.....I should cut down on the coffee....;)

[Ana B.]

ghaha :) we could also soothe our conscience that everything that happens is for a reason, and this reason its not in our power to understand, control, or change......i should quit coffee as well :)

Thank you Julie :)

Most of us have been at this very point of self-destruction. The way you convey this message is beautiful and written so elegantly. Excellent job Ana!

[Ana B.]

Thank you very much for the beautiful review :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, once we take the hit, open the wrong door...no matter how hard we slam it, the hurt has already entered.

[Ana B.]

and those who are strong enough will make room for the pain.....but those who are not will be outlived by it...Thanks for stopping by Jacob

The first stanza stands (sorry about that pun) - as a poem all its own - wisdom, wit, mystery, eloquence and insight all weaved throughout - a pure Tumblr moment - so much depth..

It doesnt need the other two stanzas in my opinion but they are quite delightful.
Well composed Ana. :))
