Black Love

i was alone last night
am bleeding to my core 
my soul is a wreck and hanging by a cord
maybe this part of me is burning in the sins of my past
am lost in my own emotions.maybe this once, if i cut myself deep enough just to let go of all the anger,disappointment and maybe just maybe then my blood will touch the ground.

its a pity that my suffering brings joy to someone watching,crying an probably going through the same emotion calling me a poet.  i wasn't born like these yet i still find myself caving deep in darkness and choking in a pool of my own blood.
maybe its all the negative upbringing yet am not blaming any one or anything yet i still believe loving you is a curse i can never run away from just like those generational curses we keep trying to evade.

how could so much love turn into hate. i guess its true when they say there is a thin lane between love an hate and sometimes it takes as little as trust issues to blur the lines.am sitting here judging myself, probably with a rope in my hands

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A metaphorical cut...life gives us our character...I remember growing up I would tell myself that I would never do or act a certain way as my parents when I grew up because I felt it was wrong...and so far I've managed to remember and do it. You are so right about how hard it is to evade generational curses! Without the storms we wouldn't know the rainbow
