The Killer Within Poem by Scarlett Treat

mystical poem! i could not figure out whether the killer was within you (admiting some situations and idenftifying always help) or that the poem was for another person that had such a terrible impact on you. either way fine work! HBH

Hi Scarlett - Why do we cause each other such pain? I'm pondering it in my new poem, 'It's Just Blood'. A lot of emotional release here! Good job in redirecting it back. Your new friend - Cheryl

Strong writing here Scarlett. Reminds me of Blake's Poison Tree. Nothing like a good rant to help let go of rage. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxx

Such raw pain and anger...but wisdom in the last line when you realise it is himself he has really destroyed. Hugs Anna xxx

It sounds like a bad parent or partner to me. Wen they go bad, something awful takes charge of them. Hellbound is a good word. Her's something I heard yesterday, on the other hand. 'Bitterness is poison you swallow yourself hoping it will kill the other person.' Also: 'Resentment is like renting out a room in your head to your worst enemy.'

Ivy has it right. But either way, it must help. Linda
