my mind is like a loaded gun
pressure is building, ticking
a final act pushes the limit
breaking me even further down
tormented, gnashing thoughts
loudly battle the dark demons
secrets caged, locked tightly in
searching, aching for any relief,
grasping at holding it together
trigger pulled creating new chaos
beautiful pain sends demons fleeing,
blood spilling as thoughts escape
silenced, my mind finds release.
I lost two aunts and a grandfather to suicide by gun affliction. I hope you're not contemplating doing the same thing. This poem is well written but was very hard for me to read. There was nothing beautiful about the deaths in my family. Pain just begot more pain that through the generations, (starting with my grandfather) destroyed lives. I wrote a poem about my grandfather called I Don't Want To See You Anymore and a couple others that are about suicides. I pray you won't think that suicide is a way out, the gnashing of teeth is what awaits on the other side. Good write, just worrisome to read for me. Loads of horrible memories, it a terrible thing to do.
I too suffer with the situation described in this immensely emotional write. Seems to run in my family. I felt like you were inside my head. Your rendering is right on. Thanks for sharing.
The power of the mind! To write's a great escape. A really great poem...
Tension grips as desperation is revealed. So much emotion bound and gagged..but for your pen! Brilliant. Ah that beautiful pain.
Very deep write, well done! Relief is in living your best, loving your self. Not putting up with anyone trespassing against you in life. Don't allow anyone to control you, always think good of yourself, that's really the best revenge. Sincerely, Kara
When one releases pain in words, one releases some of the pain inside the soul...please keep writing and releasing the demons with your words...blessings...de
