My Muse's Darker Side

My Muse's Darker Side

A Poem by therisa
"

Part of my down side.

"
How I wish
I would write
Happy fluffy thoughts
Full of love and sweetness.
 
Instead of
Humanity's darker side
With the pain and hurt
That accompanies it.
 
Am I asking
Too much
From my Muse?
 
Or am I
Just a diseased soul
Who needs to be
Put down
Like the rest.
 
Before this illness
Spreads throughout
The world.
 
Tainting
The written word
Of others
With my presence.
 
Sigh.

Thank you, Sheema. Some days are better than others, for me.
i like this..and i always go back to what sylvia plath said..."let the Ladies Home Journal blither about happy stuff, people want to know from someone who has been there and felt the worst."
