We are often eager to surrender,
Because the burden of choice is harsh.
We would rather blame others for our failings,
Instead of seeking an answer within our mistakes.
I am as guilty as anyone else when it comes to this.
How many days have I spent screaming at the darkness;
Spitting bitter words that blistered my own lips...
Even as my eyes grew clouded, shrouded by hate.
I railed against iron walls about a solitude I had created.
Anger became my mask for an open plea:
Because I simply wanted someone to acknowledge me...
Because the burden of choice is harsh.
We would rather blame others for our failings,
Instead of seeking an answer within our mistakes.
I am as guilty as anyone else when it comes to this.
How many days have I spent screaming at the darkness;
Spitting bitter words that blistered my own lips...
Even as my eyes grew clouded, shrouded by hate.
I railed against iron walls about a solitude I had created.
Anger became my mask for an open plea:
Because I simply wanted someone to acknowledge me...

You Only Have So Much
Her fingers are dirty,
Her hair tangled.
She's a mess, some would say.
But at least her heart is pure.
His wrists covered in scars,
His stomach roaring with hunger.
He's damaged, some would say.
But at least his love is whole.
Her breathing is heavy,
And her skin is pale.
She's dying, some would say.
But at least she knows how to live.
At least a woman without a house
Knows how to make a home.
Hand her a loaf of bread,
And she won't devour it,
Because she knows how to treasure
The beauty in life.
At least a boy without a smile
Knows how to hold on,
Longer than someone who's never fallen,
And never dared to learn
How to fly.
At least a g

You said....
You told me “friends forever”,
More like ‘friends for now’,
As your sweet promises
Were just lies I allowed.
You said “we are best friends”,
More like ‘friends at best’,
As your solid affirmations
Were all digressed.
You told me “I need you”
More like ‘you need me’
As your statements
Were my last plea.
Why did you go?
Why did you leave?
I’m left here all alone
Trying, in us, to believe.

So sorry that Chennie can't come back yet. He's still having a lot of struggles in his own life, which is why I've sort of been enlisted to post for him for some time.
About this piece, Chennie had this to say;
"Someone wrote a comment that my previous pieces were kind of like a story-line. It made me happy that someone acknowledged my work and I wanted to express both that AND a continuation of both pieces, in the piece that I have sent Hayes today.
Hatred and depression are terrible things. They rarely go well together, yet behind the blistering hatred and behind the overtly cheery nature of those who are sinking into bitterness inside, lies a single truth that we who are suffering, often fail to share with the world:
'Acknowledge me' That is the fundamental nature of our suffering, because solitude is capable of crushing a man, more so than any other suffering I know"

Nicely done!
Too often we make our own misery.
"Forgiveness, is opening the door to set the captive free. Only to discover that the prisoner, was me"
Forgiving yourself is often the hardest.
P.s. idk who said the quote I just remember it's not mine
