I Want

Left my childhood diary on the roof of my old home
and my memories became one with the breeze
I had to break my heart to let the pain out
soon I'll have no need for the past

I want to burst out of my skin
I want to scream till my throat locks
I want to f*****g offend everyone who pretends
I want to forget I exist

I drew a happy place out in the dense fog
Made a flower flourish in the bitter cold
Some beauty is best ignored
if it wants to live, to breath this foul air

I want my scars to reopen
I want to destroy everything worthwhile
I want the hurt to live on forever
I want to be real...

Wow so strong and bold...I love your aproach the pain you wish to release within this poem, the very sentences draw me in and the imagery adds to the bold eruption. I love this poem and the historic feeling it gives me from the first stanza. It is evident that your writing is becoming more and more striking my friend. This poem is so gripping...So much depth...I have fallen in love with this piece...Thank you for sharing this.

You can actually have a collection of all of your poems and produce a book. :)

Now that's a painful release, my dear. I know this demise can take you to the bottom of "no return" once you reopen those old wounds...but there really is a way out, and the first step is to admit you are still hurting. This is a powerful write! A raw emotion that felt real. ~xoxo~

Wow, this was a very strong poem, I felt like I was in your heart as I read the poem, I felt as if I could hear the cracks in your voice when " I want to destroy everything worthwhile" This is a pretty good poem my favorite line is "Left my childhood diary on the roof of my old home
and my memories became one with the breeze"
I am definitely a fan.
Take a stop by my page one day and see if anything pops out to you. Thanks for the read.
