Hurt!

Something I remembered from a while back and wrote down.
I experimented again with flow. And I think it came out pretty good. Strengthening either an end that is also a beginning. Hope one enjoys the read and finds what I was after with this piece.

Hurt!

All wounds
heal over time
plethora of fear

Words deluge

Scars leaving marks
on skin
in memory.

Skewer bones

Chinks only featured
to a few
machines.

Caged heart

Unscathed and beating
alone,
abandoned.

Aching continuance

Healing all wounds
except souls
behind ripped veils.

Afraid

To feel

Anything

Pain

Or get

Hurt

Again.

Abandoned Truth!

Just a quick poem I wrote when looking in a mirror. Seeing all those memories of who I am and was and the truth hiding inside the man in front of me.

Abandoned Truth!

Truth concealed

by lies produced.

In our moments

of sorrow and pain.

Deceiving intended

for those around us.

Showing an image

we pretend to be.

What is hidden

behind written,

spoken words.

Dominating by

empowering the deeds.

satisfying our ignorance

and remorseful selfishness.

Rotten we hide

under false light

Excusing pessimism

over accepting truth.

We abandon veracity

With mocking benevolence!

Unrecognised glares

from mirrored ego!
