Random Thought

I don’t know why it happened
I can’t turn back the clock
My journey will continue on
Once I’m over the shock
Your lies were so convincing
And I was so naïve
Forever so forgiving
I allowed you to deceive
But what I really wanted
Was a place where I could be
Safe from hurt and harm
A place that does not exist
For I will always be there
My own worst enemy
The walls I built in my defence
They’ll be the death of me
They’ve now become my prison
And I must stand alone
The judge and jury and defence
For sins I can’t atone
A waste of space
A laughing stock
A loser and a sinner
A lost and lonely human being
Craving to be a winner
For no-one will accept me
just the way I am
my flawed and perfect energy
inseparable from you

You'll find many friendly poets who are ready to support and give positive feedback. I will enjoy following you and your poetry when you are ready :) We are Lucky To Have you. Enjoy Poetry Soup:) Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@ Login to Reply Miriam O Brien Date: 7/1/2015 1:09:00 AM Thanks Linda! Look forward to reading some of your poetry, and apologies if I am slow to respond or give feedback. Unfortunately I find there are not enough hours in the day for me to devote the time I would like to writing and reading poetry. The poem above just popped out one morning a few days ago and I wrote it in a few minutes, I have lots of other poems and song lyrics which I have written over the years, but they are scattered around everywhere. I will upload whenever I can and welcome any and all feedback. It is so nice to meet you online and I am delighted to have the opportunity to make lovely new poet friends like you :) xx
