Sinner

by deeplydesturbed   Aug 22, 2017


When you find yourself lost and alone
To whom do you decide to turn?
A parent or sibling, or even a friend?
Or are those bridges ones you've chosen to burn?

When the world feels like its crumbling
With a constant string of bad after bad..
do you find your way out?
Or is it just apart of the life you've always had?

Turning every possible way..

tfel then right

P
U

Then

D
O

N

How do you keep emotions at bay?

What once was my kryptonite
Is now my means to survive...
It has the ability to kill me
But for now it's keeping me breathing; alive..

So how do I keep going on when it gets tough?
I don't, I just give in..
Not once or twice or even thrice
But enough to make you look saintly when you sin..

    Could have sworn I'd commented on this. It's strange isn't it that our hardships bring out our best pieces because they are written with such emotion and not much thought has to go into them to make them perfect, if that makes sense.

    Much love

    I'm glad this is nominated; it's excellent. The first bit really struck a chord with me: who do we turn to when we feel like this? Family? Friends? The people who should be there to help, first and foremost, aren't always around when we need them, are they? In fact, it seems to me they often make things worse.

    Take care, Naomi.

    The environment of this world is becoming harsher, and I'm not talking about the ecological, but the mental environment.

    People are in anxiety, stress, depression, pain and all the others symptoms of darkness.

    The 3rd stanza, where you have mentioned that in a way you have accepted the darkness(pain-the daily mental or physical torture) and now it has become your only hope to live or the other reason you accepted this pain and still keep on suffering because you don't want that person(whom you love or once loved) to look bad in the eyes of the other.

    Deserved to be nominated.

    Nams, how many souls live everyday asking these questions...sadly to find no definite answers.

    "Not once or twice or even thrice
    But enough to make you look saintly when you sin.."

    I believe a lot of people can agree with these powerful lines...

    Stay strong and beautiful. :-)
