Everyday I Die..

I am broken
Falling apart
Cursed at birth
Tortured tied to the windmill of the mind
Heart in tatters and ripped apart
By evil hand
An unwanted orphan
Umbilical chord
Severed from the world
I no longer understand
Or want to dwell
I a place I know well
I go there everyday
They call it hell!
Stabbed in the front stabbed in the back
I v’e reached a dead end street
And there’s no way back
Tried to span the gaps 
But fell down the cracks
A new mountain to face everyday
With a slippery slope
With no helping hand
Or rope
A broken compass I have no direction 
But down to sweet oblivion
Blighted by my own demons 
And my imperfections
Too man knots to untie
Thrown in the deep end cannot swim
Trying to keep my head above water
A lamb ready for the slaughter
Never got to F… the parsons daughter
Sleep my my only allie
I awake he nightmare begins yet again
Every single day I die.

I hope this is fiction my friend. There is certainly one thing that you are blessed with Peter and that is to write talented poetry. A well executed piece of poetry. Great - thank-you for sharing (I'm sure you have many blessings,think of them, list them down, and make a poem. Hugs, Jennifer.

A terrible situation where a person cannot see the light. I love dark poems and often indulged in writing some, but I always put in a ray of hope somewhere. Your poem however, is well written. ~~

Hi Peter, What a sad write; it's almost too hard to read because of the intense sadness, agony, and isolation. No one should feel like. However, I know dire circumstances cause one to feel this way. I hope you will see the rainbow after the storm and find genuine love and acceptance. I wish you well, my dear friend. Ps, If you ever want to talk, I'm here:-) Alexis
