Broken Soul

My friends, I'm here once again
Lying through my teeth
While knowing it's a sin
... but that's my tragedy
Man with a broken soul
Looking in the mirror
Seeing nothing but sorrow
When did I ever have the things I truly need
Never... because I'm full of greed
I guess it's fitting to have nothing at all
No love, no hope, no life
Nothing but sorrow is rife 
I'm the poet absent of pen
For beautiful lines are beyond my ken

Login to Reply Jacob Frey Date: 12/17/2014 6:31:00 PM I appreciate it, and yes that place and that emotion are two things I know very well. However, that place brings out the desire for me to write, and in some cases, write very well indeed. While I am not so sure of this piece, it does truly bring out some of my better works. I truly hope your situation gets better.

For with patience you will find it. Take care. Meg Login to Reply Jacob Frey Date: 12/16/2014 4:55:00 PM Thank you Meg, I truly appreciate it.
