Sharper than a Knife

by Phoenix ¥   Apr 1, 2018


Limp and lifeless sat in the chair,
some might think I don't have a care.

How wrong they'd be,
as my head is full of wants and wishes,
Walks in the sun and dirty dishes.

Feeling useless and so inadequate
Can't be a good wife, mother, lover
Can't do the things we want to together

Accept it, surrender, go with the flow,
I won't, I can't , I want to go...

I thought I was getting better,
I thought I had a life
What a fool, how cruel,
Sharper than a knife.

    A very emotional touching poem. Forgive me for any misinterpretation but sounds like it's full of extreme conflict?

      And a lot of frustration! Being ill and unable to live the life you want. Thank you for your comment x

      Am sorry to hear about your frustration and being ill. Some times dark situations can be inspiration for writing. I hope that you get better very soon and get as much inspiration from feeling better. Keep writing I very much like reading your poems X
