Number 1 Enemy

Everything and everyone are against me including my own mind you dark, twisted, hypocrite, controlling abusive, negative, pessimistic, overbearing obsessive, malicious, useless piece of crap you should be on my side, my mind stop bullying me give me a break, I’m dying here stop comparing me to others you spent all summer raping me, making me go through hell holding me back keeping me up at night twisting every beautiful thing what did I to you? What did I do to deserve this? Like it’s the last thing I need what else can I pile on? I guess I finally figured it out I was born a guinea pig to see how much pain can humans take so thank you! thank you, my mind! thank you for contributing thank you for screwing me up even more! 10/23/2015 Elis Artis (Any Sad Poem, sponsor, Broken Wings)

The thing with poetry is that we can amplify our feelings to express an idea more clearly. In checking out your introduction on your website I didn't experience the same darkness as is expressed in this piece. Check out my site www.wisedummypoet.com If you would like some feedback on your site feel free to soup mail me.

You've got that right, dear Richard! Poetry is magic. Well, I'm bipolar so it depends on my mood the day I wrote the introduction. I love your website! It looks so professional and attractive, you've done a tremendous job with it! I really need your feedback, I will soup mail you! Thank you so much for stopping by, it really means a lot to me

Here my poem " Life to obey" as a comment ,dearest Elis :Against one’s life, one should/Never revolt/But/Obediently ought to follow her wise commands to/Wherever she desires him to lead/For/Life knows better one’s nature and the laws that govern it/Thus/One has to be as wise as the waters of the river that follow/The river’s banks all the way to the estuary,/ Never trying to hinder the waters’ flow but to hasten it/For/It is the only way, one, his destination sooner to reach! --God bless you!

oh my this is sad if you truly feel this way about your mind. I don't know what to say except that it truly is "all in our minds!!" you gotta get outside yourself!! It was nice to get your comment. I don't see many poems you have posted. Have I met you before, Elis?
