Middle Ground

Middle Ground

There was a time, 

A time, where limits were crossed.

A time of excess.

Overabundance of guilt,

Overabundance of disgust,

Overabundance of hopelessness.

A time of pain.

Sharp.

A torture, a blow,

Down to the deepest core of my soul.

Suffering that I, can only control.

No more regrets.

No more sorrows.

Only strength.

A place to get better.

A middle ground to find.

Hello Morgane (beautiful name), my first question is whether or not you intended for the middle stanza to rhyme? I like the raw confessional sense to this work and the message of compromising with one's self. An enjoyable read, well done.

[Morgane Soustre]

Hi, to answer your first question, no, I didn't intended for it to rhyme. And thank you for the nice words.

I like this piece, as it is honest, and portrays the suffering human condition well in the first few lines. And then goes on to a positive ending, with hope and strength for the future....I liked the title "Middle Ground" too....a good place to be.
Thanks for sharing.

Cool poem, I like what your searching for. My only suggestion is to be aware of when you repeat words and line constructions.

[Morgane Soustre]

Glad you like it. The repetition of words and line constructions were actually made on purpose t create some kingd of never ending spiral. A question leads to an other and an other...

Superbly written in a language foreign to you .. expansive, intense, emotional and beautiful in its own way. Thank you so much for sharing.

No more regrets.
No more sorrows.
Only strength.
A place to get better.
A middle ground to find.

Very beautiful phrase. I love this. Yeah! Now a days the crime's been so uplifted the people're going away from the world of peace, from the place of humanity at all .. but your this piece makes us force to remind that time where there were no fights, no regrets, not hurt but only love in the heart and so on .. where people lived with love and peace at all. I love this piece, you've a very nice thinking to write. The theme's very good and i adore this poem. Nice work!

[Morgane Soustre]

It was build on the idea that there is a time in life when if you want to keep on going you have to lift your chin up and fight, either other people or yourself.

[Neon]

Yeah! Your Right! Thanks for explaining the real meaning of that phrase. In the life to get success you really gotta fight to get what you do deserve and for what your right to earn at all. Hard-Work, Efforts, Agenda, Ambition and so on everything does worth in the life to move ascent on the life to make future bright to live beautifully without lie at all.

Your that phrase's really filled with inspirations and motivations. I liked your those motivational lines, inspirational words.

Thanks for replying!
Keep writing!
