Withstand The Test

I sit

I lay

Alone

A dark, twisted soul

Why must this happen to me

What have I done

To deserve such misery,

I see others happy

I see others carefree

Guess they don't have the burdens

Like I have hoovering over me,

Are mine self inflicted?

At times, yes, by a blade

But it helps me

From going into full rage,

I pray daily, soon these issues

Will no longer consume my mind

So I will have the strength

To withstand the test of time.

"Are mine self inflicted?"
A powerful poem. The above line is true for the most of us. The safety net leave us to be safe from allowing anything in. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
