The fires of hate burn within me
Hatred for self
Because everything beautiful I hold
Turns to worthless ash
Demons surround my battered mind
Their tongues drip with hate and venom
I feel ripped in two
I've lost all emotion
I should be crying,
But even that reprieve is stolen
Like a fetus ripped from a mothers womb
I'm dying and screaming
I wish I could've saved you,
But I can't read your mind
And these emotions tear through me
Like a prisoner through a gauntlet of pirates
I take a step and plunge head first
I wish I was your Saviour,
But instead I appear to be your Death
And happiness has fled from me
I've forgotten how to smile
Those muscles have been severed
And depression, anger, and hatred reign
As blood trickles through my aching fingers
I need to escape, I have to,
But the walls are to high
And all I can do is sit in the corner
Of my prison and wait to be released,
But, oh God, give me that gun
I'd sacrifice myself for you
The fire in my eyes has died
The will to live is suffocated
The embers of my heart
Are choked and barely burn
They flicker and slowly fade
As I hold my breath
I lack the fuel and energy to stir them
And my ignorance causes them to die
Like a wilted flower in a drought

Breath taking as always Joel!
"I need to escape, I have to,
But the walls are to high
And all I can do is sit in the corner
Of my prison and wait to be released"
I really liked those lines and feel like i can relate. Amazing work! ****

| Yeah I agree that it is truly emotional poem, but really awesome, just kept on having to read it, not just skim over it, but truly read it. |

This kicks butt!! It is sad for anyone to carry such rage inside them - even sadder that I honestly do "get it", so there are at least two of us feeling this way! I hope your having spilled it out so furtively is somewhat thereaputic for you as reading it was for me. This is the one I needed to read tonight. Great write!
