Sin

I don't know where to start
So I'll start with my heart

The mellows of my soul
Highs and lows
I'm sick of desperation
Lack of patience
How do you break this?
There would be nothing to break 
If I didn't suffocate
My own self

It's been 10 years
More than that
And I'm still sick
I don't want to admit 
Sin has its addictions

I've heard happiness is a choice
Everything is, so they say
But how do you know 
What really was your road?
Or when emotions
Took your path astray?

One moment you feel good
The next you stressed
Good thoughts at first you would
Until hex killed your bless
With nothing left
I blame myself
It was I the whole time
That drained myself

Over stretch and strain myself
Outsource, force train myself
But the pain I felt 
Was all within brain of self
I didn't need to go anywhere 
Looking for gold
Nothing is worth the value of soul

Llayn,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
