Suffering

A shorter poem, I have lengthened it into another poem called Human Suffering. This poem is for those who read shorts, and the other for those who read epics.

Humans do not understand human suffering

The more I drown in it, the more I breathe in feelings

I don’t exist in this world

Challenging reality

People’s egos sully these melancholy hills sabotaging the once green fields of my refuse of a youth

Winter came and destroyed the truth

I feel the cold in my heart under the ice and snow on the road alone

I feel the sobbing of my body, throttling my happiness, the knotting malevolence of my happenstance

I hear the throbbing cries of my mind, buried film behind my eyes like a theatre room of lies

I feel the emotions of constant motion in my whole, the life that has unfurled from an unforgettably unfortunate portion of this world,

The memories of better days, mentioning obscenities, threaded dreams of mutterings, and of old painted letterings, like scars upon my soul

Humans do not understand human suffering, I know that I don’t know

The difference between nothing and the hindrance of my unforgiveness unfolded, moulded into art so sharp you could cut yourself on the passion of the moment

I do not know myself, I only know what’s happened every morning

Laughing madly in the daylight, hopelessly broken when it’s over

 

Author's Note

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.

So endearing. Tragic. One could almost feel your suffering while discussing suffering. Why do you feel your heart is so unforgiving. As a reader, I’m curious about your various statements.
Love this!

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

Everyone is unforgiving. When we do not understand, how can we care? We can try our best, but we only see our portion of the truth, only our lives. A second person view is like looking a the shadow of a man and saying you've seen their face. Like looking at the cover of a book means you've read the story. Understanding one's self is difficult, but possibly. But you can only understand a small portion when it comes to others, because their experiences are second hand to us.

[Najam Us Saher]

Only if humans understood human suffering, this place would be a better and a peaceful place to live.
Truly penned.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

It's been I while since I've seen from you, how've you been? I think we drifted apart a little. I believe it is possible to comprehend and accept, but yes, understanding is altogether different.

[Najam Us Saher]

I am good and how are you doing?
Indeed, understanding changes people and the sentence you wrote and explained in depth about it throughout the poem was very true. I really liked it.

humans don`t care,only for themselves,very few really care

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

This is the way things are. This is why we view difference as a bad thing. Because we don't understand it. Ironically, everyone is different, yet we judge each other for different differences. Preference decides who deserves empathy.

and we are born that way
