Description
I wear my pain like a badge
Every line tells a story
Is a part of my past
My history
Like the rings in a tree
Unabashed candour
Like the craters of a satellite
Pock marked with years of abuse
Like an asteroid knocked out of orbit
Alone
Isolated
Drifting
Through an endless void with nothing
to ponder
But the emptiness
Speeding faster and faster to its death
Will my time come
Will I go out in a fire storm
A blaze of glory
To die young
Taking the pain of a million, billion
lives with me
Or will I drift forever
Left to contemplate my scars
Put upon me by others colliding
And breaking and taking
And taking
What happens when there is nothing
left to give
Nothing left to take
Will I welcome the release
Will I be reborn
These lines tell a story
No longer mine to tell
They live on me like parasites
A symbiosis
We help each other
But it’s a sick love
Do I need it
Or does it need me
Who will go first
Blaze in a glorious fire
Die quietly into the night
The dead or the dying
The infirmed or the disease
The suffering or the sickness

This is beautiful! I had to read it twice to really catch the meaning of it because I was caught up in the symbolism and metaphors. I feel like this poem is really hopeful, but in a bit of a darker way, if you understand what I mean. Keep writing - this is AMAZING!

Aww thanx so much! I love writing but I don't do it very often anymore, and I'm very critical of my own stuff, so thank you so much for the compliment
