KLEPTOMANIA

Poem depicting the pain of a patient relieved from psychological disorder KLEPTOMANIA

I knew from the beginning
It is wrong
Mom had said
It is wrong, said the same
Dad,teacher and priest too.

I made a collection
Of donts...
To use,  whenever my eyes
And hands
Long for the forbidden.

But eyes like
Enemies of my dad and mom
Stupefy me so long
That I forget to open
The box of conscience.

Eyes in collusion with hands..
Intrigued against my conscience.
I stole every bit
Of naughty things I needed
And I do not need..

For the first time I knew
Bleeding pain of my Self
Which they equated
To the thief that robbed
A house not his own.

Oh! My little brain..!!
How my mothers purse..
Can be a substitute
For her love...!!!

Oh! My little brain..
How can thy father's pen can be
As smooth and as warm as ..
His assuring fingers?

well written, you kept the spirit and pain of a child, while building to a great conclusion.

[Lorraine]

It contains a huge amount of innocence. The tone of this piece sounds so much like a child doing things against his/her conscience, simply because no one was there to rectify his/her acts. It's amazing how such simple poem show depth and meaning.

Keep Writing. ^___^

I'm not finding anything funny here. I think it is unbelievably sad. A child trying to substitute things for the emotional needs that aren't being met. A very good write.

Hey I really like your confession. Even I did that as a kid! But later I realized my mistake. Very well expressed!

[MagiCrystal]

Yes.. we always put our little hands in places we shouldn't but that's life and so we learn.. that sometimes parents can be wise or wrong.. no one in this World lives a perfect life.. not one human..
I like the way you think and it is very realistic now !
Oh! My little brain..
How can thy father's pen can be
As smooth and as warm as ..
His assuring fingers?

now that to me is so funny....!
