Thoughts of another day.

Missing image

Harsh the tone of words ill spoken,
with venom dripping...slowly.
Fractured anger cascades in torrential
outbursts, striking at the very core
of vulnerability.
Tired emotions scramble for stability
in a shifting world of unease... emphasised by
torn temper, ripping the fabric of companionship.
Once, only gentle words of encouragement
echoed the halls of home and family,
now the undertones of dislike lick
along the aura, creating rifts.
Shell shocked reality permeates the
dulled response sensors, allowing hurt
and dismay to reach the inner sanctum.
Tears and self pity drip with regular accuracy
saturating common sense.
Tomorrow is another day to conquer and win,
and even though the body is willing, the mind is weak,

not all is written in black and white.

    Very deep poem. And you are right, nothing in life is ever written in black and white. Excellent poem. It really moved me.

    Very intense, dark poem, but very well written! I really love the line "even though the body is willing, the mind is weak" for some reason. The picture is really amazing as well!

    This is probably the most powerful poem I have ever read. The emotion and horror were so vivid and the imagery quite good. I don't usually care for dark but this was captivating

      Thank you. This was probably written with a dark day in mind, but the wind has changed...and with it the mood . Delighted that you found it vivid.

    A well penned, and rather dark toned piece. It grabs attention and holds it, although maybe a bit strong worded too. It seems more captivating, like the reader is trapped inside the words until it finishes at the climax. Definately a good piece of work.

    I Will Survive

    Wordy artistic expression of an animalistic emotion, thus removed from the heart of the beast, sanitized.

      "sanitised"....what a delightful word Only once removed?...as for the heart of the beast, well he is there at the core if you dig deeply enough

    Everyday is not always easy to face. As your descriptive words show, seemingly fine outside, on the inside "tired emotions scramble for stability". BRAVO!!!!!

    What an interesting picture you have used with this poem. Liked the flow in the lines, not sure of the dividing spot between the words - seem in awkward places at times. Could just be me too.

      The picture was found when googling...I rather liked the stern stare this Raven gives, it fits the mood. Sorry about the ... but often the brain races faster than I can think, so I use these wee fellows to fill my lack of concentration I will go back and edit when the mood is calm.
