Your Victim

I don't want what you've given me I don't need the depression Long ago I learned this lesson Don't be fooled by false impressions The last time I felt this somebody died It was six days latter I learned and cried The time I felt the silence growing was just like this a time of not knowing I never told myself not to love this hard Knowing all along it could break my heart Three more days and I should know Did you die, were you killed will I ever know

such intensity, almost a rawness to your poem. Your past haunts you to some degree; it's hard to undo past trauma because there's always that seed of fear of further pain and heartache. A truly captivating and emotional read. I liked it. Am faving,

Dear TS, your poem artistically is filled with raw emotion and a sense of vulnerability. The way you express your reluctance to accept the pain and depression inflicted upon you is both powerful and poignant. The haunting imagery of past experiences adds depth to your words, revealing the weight of past trauma. I loved how you capture the struggle of grappling with uncertainty and the fear of further heartache. This is such a deeply personal and evocative piece of writing. - Blessings, Daniel
