I breathe sadness and with it,
its melancholy too.
I breathe grief and I do inhale
its pain too.
I choke on lifeless moments
and their disapproval of
my happiness too.
I read my mind and consume
the slithering words
and their essence too.
I beat around the bush
and yet hurt me, intentionally,
with thorns too.
I play with the darkness
and endeavor in its eerieness
but it gropes me more
And surprisingly,
I let it toy with me.
Every time!
I accept those invisible scars on me,
Too.

I never use this expression, for I consider it taking the Lord’s name in vain, but it was my first response–OMG! Wonderful! (Now see, it was so beautiful, you made an old lady Sunday School teacher swear with your magnificent poetry! How many poets can make that claim? LOL LOL
