Broken Soul

My friends, I'm here once again Lying through my teeth While knowing it's a sin ... but that's my tragedy Man with a broken soul Looking in the mirror Seeing nothing but sorrow When did I ever have the things I truly need Never... because I'm full of greed I guess it's fitting to have nothing at all No love, no hope, no life Nothing but sorrow is rife I'm the poet absent of pen For beautiful lines are beyond my ken

That place or emotion you speak of, I have seen it and lived it. Actually, I still live it but there will be brighter days ahead. Good write!

I appreciate it, and yes that place and that emotion are two things I know very well. However, that place brings out the desire for me to write, and in some cases, write very well indeed. While I am not so sure of this piece, it does truly bring out some of my better works. I truly hope your situation gets better.

Jacob, written from the heart this poem is full of so many emotions! But don't lose hope. For there is always love and there is always love and life! For with patience you will find it. Take care. Meg
