Whirlpools

Happy times we will always 
remember.
But it's the tragedies that really thrive in our heads,
that feed on our pain, our guilt, until we 
surrender.
The hurt, the remorse that all of us have felt,
suck us under like the whirlpools that are our 
feelings.
That stop us from seeing the light, 
that stop us from growing and stop us from
healing.
We all give up, we think we don't need to 
fight.
When all that is doing
is stopping us from continuing on 
the confusing path that is
life.

Hello Tabatha , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
