Man vs self

October 29, 2024

The world will protray you as a monster For the decisions you will make Your either ruthless in your ways Or weak cowardice and fake One day your a God Then your the fallen angel himself To be constantly ridiculed made to feel like a fool I was raised on survival While others were raised on love Always questioning The existence of something above The war you rage on me I've battled constantly within Is that what makes us human?

Poetry is a powerful tool it's helpful to express your frustrations in words and also to read others and relate. I am honored you could relate to my poem. To be unable to truly express yourself in your home sounds confining. I do hope poetry continues to help you and hope you have an amazing day as you sound like an awesome person.

<p>Thank you. Personally, poems help me cope with my own emotions when they're intense and I have no one to talk to. Reading poems allow me to understand my own feelings and relate with the author. Recently I've noticed I'm not allowed to feel or acknowledge my feelings in my household, it's based on logic. There's no doubt that it's because thats how they were raised but it's difficult to follow along at times. You yourself don't acknowledge your feelings and no one else does either. I fail and fear to acknowledge my feelings, due to what one deems reason. </p>
