Personal Remorse

Personal Remorse is the one thing that makes
A poem stand out from all the rest; a gem
It shows a genocide of emotions;genuinely
It shows pain like a bloody razor's edge

Cutting down a page of flesh into your mind

Making others feel what you do; what they

Can only hope to express within their own 

Pain.

It gives hope to those thinking "Do I

Just feel this way or is this somewhat normal?"

I still don't know if it's normal to want to die

But I'm going to throw it out there in words

That resemble great conversational voice.

Masterful?Maybe not, but at-least it's raw

Raw truth that come from my core;soul

At-least it's not a lie and if it is; I don't know it

I know it to be the truth every word I put here

Laying it on a silver plate for all to admire or hate

Personal Remorse makes or breaks a poem...

To leave it out would be like leaving your best

friend out on the street begging for some food

Frankly, that's not only heinous but extremely rude.

Some think Personal Remorse is just Self-pity

Self-pity on paper is not looking for attention, but

It's sharing a reflection or recollection of feelings

That are needed to express before you explode

Stop judging the other poets "cliche" thoughts

It's their right to be cliche if you have issues

write about it, in your own personal notes

Remorse from you is needed in your own work

Not theirs.
