SO HORRIBLY UNKIND

Always trouble ahead,
So much trouble behind,
If I can't discover,
A way to hover,
Over this darkened cover,
I think I'll lose my mind,

In my home there's a room,
Shut in like a tomb,
And so disguise the lies,
Muffle my anguished cries,
That are so Horribly Unkind,

The glittering sparkles on a distant shore,
A ship set adrift forevermore,
Draws me falsely to delusionary hope,
I will no, not ever,
Find a way to cope,

Disguising the lying,
Muffle anguished crying,
Listen to my mournful sighing,

Sparkling glitter,
On a distant shore,
I am dying,
I have lost my
mind,
So Horribly,
Unkind

About this poem:

Life ain't right sometimes. In spite of our attempts to cope we can't seem to iron out all the wrinkles. We seem paused (stuck!) in a terrible place where our dreams appear gone forever and all we focus on is our problems, past, present, and future.

It's often in our darkest moments that we get inspired and we don't know where the words are coming from.

It has happened to many artists and it also has happened to me at times.

my
Thanks Daniela777. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Lately things have been rather difficult for me and my emotions have traveled to the far reaches of the known Universe..... and beyond. And, yeah, inspiration accompanies their very timely return.

I can also relate to that and understand how you feel Bobby.
I'm sure you'll get more inspiration in the near future.
Not just through poetry..but also through music.

Daniela you are a Prophetess. How did you know I even wrote songs and music? I also play violin, piano, xylophone, flute, and guitar. I have just under 500 songs written and 112 have musical scores for all instruments except bass and drum. I hope what you say will come to pass.

Woww.. I didn´t realise that you played so many instruments.

I used to play the piano - and the classical guitar - but cannot any longer, unfortunately.

However, I am not making up with other instruments. I have started to learn the panpipes - something that I´ve wanted to do for yours. But, not as easy as I thought.

So Bobby, do you compose your own music? and what kind of music do you play? I am sure it also comes from inspiration but, if it doesn´t yet, I am sure it WILL soon. Do you sing as well?

Expressing feelings and emotions through the arts always bring some amazing results.

Hi McRadloff. Memories cannot be erased for sure. But they can be "covered." Listen; form the most beautiful images in your mind, images that make you feel wonderful. Whenever the bad memories come immediately bring your beautiful images to mind. They will compete with the bad ones and with time will block them completely. As you put deliberate effort into bringing the good ones to mind you're training your brain. It will soon do the work on it's own, automatically. It really works!
Good luck and God bless you.
