[LostProphecy]

At one period in my life I had many negative feelings toward the world. I needed so many answers and had so few resources. I have not, however, had feelings of suicide.

My own life plagues my heart.
Like the God-fearing sinner's last grope for breath.
This choke-hold of guilt
strangles my happiness away;
leaving me breathless, to a foul-aired world.
Needing solitude of mind and peaceful simplistic travelling
through times and spaces, spent by my own idiocy.
Tragically wasting my own resources.
Blasphemous actions,
hurl me into this untamable oblivion.
I need answers and truth.
A second chance for the last time,
and a decent slumber for the first.

strangles my happiness away

that's an interesting phrasing of how a person becomes depressed, but i think it was a GREAT poetic line. Great personification there.

Writing is a great outlet of negativity, isnt it?

Thank you for the bump - glad i didn't miss this masterpiece this time round!

 

[LostProphecy]

Thank you for the bump, Drew. I wrote this piece 3 years ago during a very depressing time in my life. I try to focus on the positive, now. It's much easier now that I dried up some. Thank you all, for the encouraging replies.

guess another bump for me, since i am so behind on my reading.

A second chance for the last time,
and a decent slumber for the first.

outstanding ending. I really enjoyed this, funny out of pain can come some amazing words that create a feeling that so many people in this world including me have felt at one time or another. If they haven't they would miss the true pleasure of being balance.

:D
