Since You've Been Gone

I am undeniably sad Consumed by dismay I am angry at the world Out of sight & in shadows, I stay My stomach churns wild A tempest inside At what my life has wrought I am consumed with fear But I've nowhere to hide Lurches and churns, but I have nothing to hurl My life is just nauseous with strife I've become stricken with worry, For my exhausting life I turn rapidly now In a relentless descent I am a mere product of my grief And in silence, I lament

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

The soup is the place to let it out. There is a way to move forward to manage these feelings. To live through and past them. If you have not read poems by Eilsa Wright from Scotland you should. I have been mentoring her all the way from NZ. her poetry has set her free. You have named your feelings in a well constructed poem, a brave write. You have talent. Look forward to 1 that showcases your sense of humor. Just posted my new Christmas poem. Very best regards from this lucky 70 year old.
