The Lost Child Inside the Deranged Mind

In the depths of this mind
A fruit in decay.
Alone and forgotten
The child,
Shamed and in dismay.
Love and pain intertwined 
Memories hidden—not rotten.

Abandoned by fate
Nurtured by hate.
Love is the fiend
In the depths of this mind

Hope has departed
Pain is kind—
A playground for the angry hearted.
In the depths of this mind

Herein lives despair next to desire,
Anxiety defeats amity
And over and over again—
Atrocity wins over sanity.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet 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." Be blessed.
