Well if someone says don't read....well its human nature to want to take a look!
So taking a look I am doing ! LOL
Such a strong write, and no I didn't find it disgusting at all, just an honest
poem of emotions of turmoil and the consequence of a life that has not
been dealt good cards.
What's that expression? "Life's a b***h and then you die".
Strong, oh so very strong like black coffee without sugar or cream...bitter. This writing is drenched in angst and no, it isn't disgusting. It is part of you, your writing, poured from the depths of heart and soul. The title and ending is what makes this concentric.
"I like it when I feel disgust all around me
It feels so good; it feels like home, it's the only home I know
It's the only home I ever known"
~ This part blows my mind. Keep writing my friend.
Me, too! The nature of the beast has made me "take a look" even
though you say, not to! hahaha
I agree with Helena. It's not disgusting, just honest.
Many people are not blessed with peace in their life
and their surroundings. When I complain about my own life
I have to remember that it could always be worse.
Many people live with daily war, which I cannot fathom.
Though I cannot fathom; I know it must be a living hell.
Who could blame you, or anyone, for feeling this way given
the circumstances of life so unfamiliar to some of us.
Being truthful isn't exactly disgusting. Sometimes life is a b***h!
It's just on different scales; depending on the day.
I could not help myself, I became curious, hope it does not upset you that I read it.
Honestly, it is full of deep emotion and it flowed well. I honestly think that it could be turned into a song with a few little tweaks, and it would make a good song. Life is full of pain, even for those that are the happiest. Some let the pain consume them, others deal with it the best way they can.
Not to belabor the point of pain or the battlefield of life's miseries, but I will say that I use to walk in the same darkness as you. My darkest moment came when I discovered that my father committed suicide. I won't go into details. Suffice it to say, I know your darkness. I know sadness. I know tears. I know the pangs of desperation, depression, and desolation. I know ... I know ... I can relate to your words.
I always believed in the light, however, and am happy to say that the dark clouds are changed away by the sun. I wish you sunlight always.
As Helena stated, it is often a case that when we are told not to look - we look. It is that simple, it is that part of us that just needs to see. This piece speaks well of that taken to another level, and it speaks of a brutal reality that many find themselves in. Some would see it as quite twisted, to think anybody would want to live in pain - but there comes a point when you have lived in pain for so long, it becomes your norm. Being outside of it, is frightening. Many times, those in chronic traumatic situations will find themselves adapting to it as some sort of defense mechanism. It is sad, but it is true for far more people than some people would imagine. The thing to keep in mind is that pain is personal and subjective, that it may be one thing for one person and something else for another... it is not always what you think it might be.
Funny...I was drawn to the title, starting reading, forgot about the title, and didn't remember it until the end--full circle. That, if you ask me, is a sign of great cleverness.
