Backscattering Redemption

Listen to poem:

Reflecting in my minds defining silence;
It's amazing how loud it can be without violence;
There are so many clever agents; sentient's within
Conducting their works; influencing original sin
Isolating thoughts with precise belligerence
Stifling consciousness; destroying all innocence
Un; and conscious thoughts confound
Is this a nightmare; so profound?
When this internalized backscattering redemption for my soul begins;
I'm more than just a little bit curious; about how to make a true amends;
These angelic thoughts; I feel the halo slipping down to this tightening noose;
The alarm clock tones; a dream lost; I come around, still deeply a recluse

Paige Hind Date: 2/23/2023 10:01:00 AM I can relate to this, so profound. "These angelic thoughts, I feel the halo slipping down to this tightening noose"-- wow. Login to Reply Anonomus Scorpio Date: 2/23/2023 3:24:00 PM I am truly happy that this one spoke to you. If you read the note that I have at the beginning of it it has a very definitive meaning for me. But the double entender that was also designed into it gives it a great deal of meaning to others besides myself. Above all else I wanted the piece to speak to each person that reads it in their own way. Thank you so much for your visit A.S.

Deb M Date: 2/8/2023 7:51:00 AM WOW AS …what a powerful poem with a real message. Child abuse is horrendous enough but to add not being believed on top of that oh my lord! If this is a personal experience l am so so sorry for your suffering AS….Sending a huge cuddle!

Prior to this past year it had been almost 25 years since I had written a poem. Dealing with some lost luggage as of late in my muse. Warmly A.S.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 2/7/2023 11:06:00 AM This is a heavy one. This medium is such a cathartic one. I’ve healed a lot through poetry, this site helped so much, I hadn’t written in nearly a decade before stumbling upon it. The childhood abuse, I don’t think I’ve written yet about, how you can get over the abuse but never over not being believed. Powerful ink my friend. xomo Login to Reply Anonomus Scorpio Date: 2/8/2023 8:03:00 AM Mo I'm so terribly sorry that we share the darkness in both of our past. But I am forever grateful that it is led me to the kindness that I found in sharing my poetry. Even if it is under a pen name. Do me a favor enjoy how my pendulum swings from light to dark and use it in whatever way you need. With total respect A.S.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 2/5/2023 9:15:00 AM Oh my. Going to go walk the dog and come back for another read. xomo Login to Reply Anonomus Scorpio Date: 2/5/2023 9:02:00 PM Dealing with hard truths through this medium it's kind of who I am. Even when those truths are my own. Thank you very much for taking the time to read it perhaps even twice.
