I have been called quite vain, conceited, arrogant, boastful with too much pride; because of my poetic words . . . And I have been slain by "his" sword, time and time again; "he" meant to destroy me and extinguish my light. Woes filled my heart, my suffering was grievous and full of anguish; and I felt beaten down and drained, a cloak of doom fell upon me. I wanted to erase all my poetry wins; whispering- Oh, what is wrong with showing pride ? My head was full of evil fiends, with demons and devils wicked and so mean; for a long while I just refrained, oh, did abstain from writing poetry . . . Yes, I just ceased writing, but it was difficult to hold back and not pen; and I could not do it. For I am addicted to writing my words, devoted, obsessed with poem writing; I think it was predetermined at my birth. Written in the book of my life and by God ordained; I am destined to write- no matter who likes it ! ______________________________ August 2, 2019 Poetry/Verse/Because of My Poetic Words Copyright Protected, ID 19-1170-538-02 All Rights Reserved.

Ani, thank you for visiting my older poem and for the compliment and comment, yes back when I wrote this in 2019 I was being bullied by a gang of poets on a mission to destroy poets, I actually left but could not stay away so here I am and guess what it is that gang of bullies who are gone _Constance

I had an ex who actually burned all of my poetry from 16-28....he didn't think poetry was anything to be proud of, and though i can never get them back, part of me is glad because i have grown, yet part of me longs to see what i wrote in my younger days....i really like this one :) hugs
