I wander, broken... I am lost...A Poem by InkSlinger
Every day I find my moments grow scant
Ragged bones ripen weary in sullen shame My yearning to fight, tempered and weathered. In it's birth, deeply seated, a wallowing in putrid stench, It steals every ounce of excitement I once felt. I suffer in shallow victory. I wander, broken. My will washed in silent shattered pain, Every piece laid open for inspection Cracked, ragged, and strewn about my soul. You could never understand what it is I need I'm not sure I can even explain what it is I feel these secrets haunt my deepest thoughts and dreams. Whatever chases behind me in my lowest, weakest hour I know without doubt, somewhere recessed inside me, it creeps It leaves me feeling helpless I am lost. It lurks waiting for that needing moment Painting it's darkness and gloom in every crevice Hanging unnoticed on every corner, in every nook. It invades, spreading evenly, touching indiscriminately It blackens every vein zealously Until it has consumed all the impassioned innocence That was once known as this person called me. It leaves me feeling unworthy I wander, broken. I struggle with the infirmities of my broken body I struggle with the shallow acknowledgment of my vanities A steep, unset price weights heavy on my morality For I know I cannot fight what is inevitable And I will surely swing in bitter defeat. I am unequivocally spent I am lost. My head swims in self generated confusion My conviction, like a knot twisted in guilt Like a paper heart, folded and torn along the seam I am battered by the words hung from my own tongue My confabulations stutter in a closed mouth, refusing to flow Left to converse within this feeble tired mind. It leaves me cold I am broken. © 2010 InkSlingerReviews
