Ts Poetry Poet Dramatic Monologue

Tortured Souls

Drudging at the foot of despondency 
I dwell
floating in-between the far and the now
too tired to stand
knowing I'll be knocked back down
kicked and beaten 
by my own inner beast
a feast of undue proportion
salted and dried
a fortunate misfortune

nipping at my wounds
bleeding out 
failed opportunities
bringing me eternal death

for is that where my love lies in wait
with one foot planted in the darkness
the other eclipsing my moon

trust me when I whisper I want you
like a shadow needs her sun
the wind blowing off the sea
the clouds drifting away
you drifting to me

the sun will set in time
but for now
I let go of the mind
and become free

Lady Labyrinth February 15, 2020 at 10:16 AM Here's my take on self belief - don't waste your energy trying to change opinions, do your thing and don't care if they like it or not. Always be true to yourself, share your truth with others, question the truth of others always, try to be kind to others, but first be kind to yourself. What is meant to be, the Universe will deliver eventually. Sometimes you have to let go of what's weighing you down and let the Universe take over, go with the Flow.
