What a feeling

This is a beautiful piece..

"this anger
contaminated the purity
that once ran
through my veins..

there has been
weight loss,
or maybe just loss..

but somehow,
the bones can't
make up
for the sleepless nights
and the hopelessness.."

Those lines really hit hard a..its good reading something one created, we can connect with.. even for a moment. Great job !! 5/5

For me the first stanza sets the stage for the the whole poem:

This emptiness
I have inside
goes far beyond
anything I once
thought I'd be able
to feel..

From then on the poem had a life of it's own and carried the reader through to the end. A very emotional and deep write. Thought provoking indeed.

"all that I am
is a combination of brain cells
that have the potential
to stand on mountain tops-
but settle for the view
they get half way up.."

In a slightly ironic sarcastic, sadistic way..
sorrow is the best thing that happened to you...its the best thing that happened to soul speaking poets.

I really love this write Yaki for it is so full of emotion. When I read it in MM it felt as though I was living through your words.

What really got me was your ending line
"I am as hungry as ever. "

I had to sit for a moment and gather myself before posting it.

Wonderful write Yaki!

Great Poem..Very Vivid with Great Flow.. Thank you for sharing..5/5
