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

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
