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...
Heeeey everyone!

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
