Sin

I don't know where to start So I'll start with my heart The mellows of my soul Highs and lows I'm sick of desperation Lack of patience How do you break this? There would be nothing to break If I didn't suffocate My own self It's been 10 years More than that And I'm still sick I don't want to admit Sin has its addictions I've heard happiness is a choice Everything is, so they say But how do you know What really was your road? Or when emotions Took your path astray? One moment you feel good The next you stressed Good thoughts at first you would Until hex killed your bless With nothing left I blame myself It was I the whole time That drained myself Over stretch and strain myself Outsource, force train myself But the pain I felt Was all within brain of self I didn't need to go anywhere Looking for gold Nothing is worth the value of soul

Llayn,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
