Silently Coping

These scars run deep. Underneath beseeching. Motivated by lies. Veiled inside eyes. Holding gazes in so long. Wrapped up in the songs. Cycling lover's seasons. Living singing treasons. Given a million reasons. Fighting betrayed meaning. Breathing down goodbyes. Trying and finalized. Breaking apart openings. Silenced beyond coping. Ruining times of life. In memory stealing strife.

Never silently coping... roar like a lion... show it... I may be shy and a private person, I am not in my poetry. Don't be in yours, you write wonderfully.

thank you my talented fellow. Silently coping my rear....putting it all out there ...with nothing to fear... yet silently coping in pain...where writing is my gain...

It always feels that way, we give so much and in the end have very little to hold on to. And when memories only remind us of the lies, it's not a fun day. Nicely expressed Holly

Your right Chris. But I'm turning it into art. And it's my way of growing as a writer. Let Betrayal Teach Me More Than Anger.
