Eternal Shame

Eternal Shame

A Poem by Dante Balintyne

There is a lot in this life for which ive had to fight

Even so I spend my nights staring up at the light

Unafraid to admit my shame

Anger drives my will to win this game

My mind is clouded with all my pain

It makes me wonder what I can gain

At most I would be lucky if this life can last

Knowing ive had a troubled past

Keeping what I know I must within

Having the emotion slowly wear thin

You have captured the essence.. of your passionate and very sad soul meaning you actually have a very big and sensitive heart inside living in fear I think.. one can never write this incorrectly.. I see your message clearly on this writing.. you are clearly angry and sad... many are in these times.. at night these feelings come alive.. sometimes so harsh it can make one numb.. A trouble past breeds survivor's.. we all need to find that fire and passion and drive it into a channel.. to create a higher purpose and sense of being.. you have a poetic and divine heart .. let the past be past.. or embrace it.. it is a part of everyone.. I have had one of the ugliest pasts one could ever imagine in history right from birth.. but I am both a lover and fighter.. bad and good.. I am human.. I have kept it in for 30 years.. not no more.. clouds are clearing.. I still struggle with the darkness though.. but will never stop fighting it... I am a victim of uncontrollable circumstances that is going to overtake and find my destiny before the end of the road... but relate to all you say.. thank you for sharing.. you've got me thinking and have inspired me! I will pray for you and weep for your darkness in my heart.. no love without pain my friend.. =)
