Scathing Regret

I can't recant today's unfair barrage
I comprehend the demoralization I delivered

the root of melancholy me,
a hollow granite heart

drowned out by lonely laughter and vacant wisdom
sorry is what I am but can't convey,

unable to utter

sour, I sit, embarrassed reluctant to feel as I did yesterday
I'd rather feel things I've never felt, love, hope, and peace.

I shall ingest some humility, digest sincerity,
and prevent spewing more hate.

No friends to turn to or loving arms, only my
self remorse deafening every quiet moment. 

bitter is better

unnerved my strength flayed from my chest
replaced by reclusive tears

godforsaken with despair oozing from my pores
drenched with puny self proclaimed honor

go now, I quit, with proper pondering
I shall rise above, one day soon

this man anew

I had to get this out, it hasn't been 'poeticized' yet

    I feel the emotions coming from this poem, the sadness, regret, depression, the honesty of the person with his feelings within himself. Yet at the end there is hope..
    I shall rise above, one day soon

    this man anew

    Great poem..

    I'd start 'poeticizing' by spelling the title correctly.

      that's a good tip

      good place to start, eh? I don't think I'd have caught that, thank you for pointing that out I wish everyone was as helpful as you.
