Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Free verse

Conduit

It’s an uneasy distress
that foments inside of you
A boiling primal urge you have
to lash out and attack
Angry words of distrust and hatred,
born from years of suffering past abuse
Now you wanna empty yourself,
pour all your anguish and grief inside of me
But, I cannot allow this spiritual travesty
to proceed any further
I am not your emotional conduit,
I don’t flow that way
I am not your personal pressure release valve,
blow your hot steam of anger out somewhere else
Why are you so unthankful 
for the real love you now have?
God has given you something you’ve been searching for 
your whole life
Why do you fear the calm?
My heart I’ve given to you 
as a peace offering sacrifice
But, I refuse to be a conduit for your unresolved issues,
I don’t flow that way
You better learn how to release your burning hatred
in a more constructive way
You must learn how to release your hot anger
in a safe, more positive display
Or this love you’ve found in me
will surely evaporate away

Sunita U.D Palawon June 14, 2017 at 11:31 AM :D I laugh a lot reading this....this is the common story of many couple. They are not thankful to each other for what exist between them and shortly ranting destroys it. The whole very well expressed here in few words. :)

Wilma Neels June 13, 2017 at 7:13 AM Awesome way to get your point across Freddie. I loved this write of yours :)

Arthur Vaso June 12, 2017 at 10:32 PM I have been in this situation, so I can feel these words, great write! :)

Daniel Turner June 12, 2017 at 8:39 PM Those one way love situations are a bummer, are they not? Really hard to even hang around someone who is full of hate. Nicely penned, Freddie:)

Michelle Mac Donald June 12, 2017 at 6:42 PM I also think you deserve more views, Freddie. No one wants to be used as a doormat! I haven't been visiting the Soup as much I should. This week I spoke to a lady who is to me like a soul sister. She sent me a poem written by Sensei Ogui... "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms." As you do, as well as many others here.:) Keep well, and keep blooming! Mikki

Chris Green June 12, 2017 at 3:58 PM Point made and I understand this situation and the feelings that come from being that one who they chose to unleash their pent up hatred on. Nicely done my friend. Here's hoping more will find this and comment...it deserves more attention than it has received.
