Soul Ache


Aching Heart,

Felt very deeply,

Lying heavy,

Constantly.

 

It's just there

Where you think it ought to be,

Inside my chest,

Centre of me. 

 

It's been a while,

Since I felt easy,

Normality gone, 

Total irregularity.

 

Takes me away,

Joy & bliss,

Constant Sadness,

There is a twist.

 

Resentful am I,

To live this way,

Full of hurt and anger,

Total dismay. 

 

The truth is clear,

For all to see,

Abaondoned myself,

I really hate me. 

 

Reason behind this,

There's a story to tell,

Grown up with neglect, 

Emotional hell. 

 

Played the victim,

In my life you see,

Can't see past this point,

Having great difficulty. 

 

Struggling to let,

Pain stay away,

Inside my spirit,

I can't keep this madness at bay. 

 

Trying to form,

A new identiity,

An exhausting challenge,

Massivley.

 

Grief,

Sadness,

Ran so very deep,

Much total madness.

 

Push to feel free,

What I desire of me,

Feel my own suicidal terrorist,

Self tyranny

 

Working to remove,

This burden of me,

Expressing what I want,

Truthfully.

 

Open my chest,

Surgically,

Take a better look,

Emotionally.

 

Pushing too hard,

To set myself free,

Absolutely knackered,

Lethargy.

 

Trauma is stuck,

Accept that part of me,

Time ticks away,

A lot waste, regretfully.

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
