Do you ever feel like this?

Question

-*Struggle of the Heart*_

…./|\....

Spirit breaking

Heart is cracking

slowly

so to make it worse on me

I feel so trapped

for every time I try to share

all my hurts

all my scars

they hurt others

I know that I am not

the only one

Alone

in this struggle

Battle raging

and that makes me

hurt more

There are others

going through this

and where I am…

I can be no help this way

So I run away

to a hideout

safe and sound

with no one else

to hurt with all my scars

When I come through this

and I will come through

I will awaken

Reborn

I will join the world once more…

Until the day darkness knocks again

Answer 1

This was extremely sentimental, and I feel as if a lot of people could relate to this...for the first time, i have no grammatical corrections. Your mastery of language is improving :)

I will treasure this poem...thank you for sharing your feelings, as I know it can often be hard to do. I really hope that you feel better soon!

Answer 2

It is not a sin or cowardly - to seek - solice in isolation.  Time for introspection is at hand. Withdraw - from the world - to gain strength back. Do not set a time limit. You will know when you are sated. God Bless. Namaste ♥

Answer 3

A true siren would be dishing out the hurt to the men in her life and would not be capable of such sensitivity.

I liked your poem :o)

Answer 4

Sometimes an emotional outpouring like this yeilds something extraordinary.  I love that you write of your eventual reawakening and healing.  All of life goes in cycles and you are at the nadir of one of these.  Everything will come around and you will again feel the joy in life that you deserve.  I am happy that you reached out and hope that this poem was cathartic for you.

Answer 5

If this is how you are really feeling, then don't worry about people tearing this poem down as a "woe is me" poem. I don't see it as a self-pity poem, I see it more as explaining your state of mind right now. I'm glad you talked about being reborn because it shows that you can move past these things and have the depth to know that you only have one worst day of your life. It is good that you are writing these feelings down, instead of keeping them in, where they eat away at people and cause them to be bitter.

Overall, I really enjoyed this poem, and are glad that you are getting these bad feelings out so you can go back to being happy!
