About This Poem

Let Myself Bleed

We're all searching for answers nowhere to be found;
If I give up then I'm nothing but a coward.
Though a broken road has your feet glued to the ground,
You're still expected to keep moving forward.

When questions keep going unanswered,
All they do is multiply;
I'm tired of asking myself why...

All of my pain, my sorrow, my hate,
Let's paint this world red with a lonely fate.
At last imprisoned questions will be set free,
For tonight, I'm going to let it all bleed.

This life has been beating me for so long,
I just can't win its losing fight.
I thought it'd be worth it, but I was wrong-
There's nothing of worth left in my sight.

When questions keep going unanswered,
All they do is multiply;
I'm so tired of asking myself why...

All of my pain, my sorrow, my hate,
Let's paint this world red with a lonely fate.
At last imprisoned questions will be set free,
For tonight, I'm going to let it all bleed;

And all of my spite, my rage, my confusion-
I'll leave it all behind, life is just a delusion. 
At last I am going to be set free,
For tonight, I'm going to let myself bleed.

When questions go unanswered,
All they do is multiply-
I'm done asking myself why.

    Anne... congratulations with your awesome deep and darken poem* GOODNIGHT!!! xox~LINDA

    The one question that can never fully be answered; Why? My formal studies were mostly in philosophy and psychology. One of these avoids the question if possible, the other pursues the question at great lengths. I think I just noticed something lol. Anyway if a why is the answer we seek, we will often be left unfulfilled, but we will always ask why, and sometimes we expect a rational answer, where there is none. Great poem. I really enjoyed it, well it's sad, but I enjoyed the insight.

    Anne; this is very touching. I would like to paint the world blue and maybe me dressed in red, but I don't want you to bleed, then I'll have to dress in black. You want to know why- because God loves you. 4 U the best is yet to come. Smile - Lucilla

    the self is to blame, we get what we expect, bad thoughts are the demon, in self, lives, cause wrecks, change the record, expect good and the bright, be awhile in the coming, keep on thinking delight, cos the bees are a humming, i might just be right??? set a new course in the brain yet again and tonight...

    This embodies despair. Moving forward and the road is broken in front of you. Masterpiece!

    Dear Anne, You have given much more answers than you have put questions. Your writing answers the why! Pain ploughs our soul so we can plant and then harvest! A philosophical writing. Loved it!

    I can see why this got you a WIN! The title drew me in and the first stanza set the tone. I love the "though a broken road has your feet glued to the ground" line. There's such meaning in that line. Several meanings. And each one as true as the others. This is an excellent job! I sincerely mean it. And thank you for your kind words on my "Half Dressed" piece. It was written for a good friend of mine. She loved it too. Actually, it sort of made her cry a little. Keep up the amazing writing!

    It made me feel a lot of emotions so I can assume she probably did cry a little! Thank you so much for such kind words!
