Paralyzed

Every other week I publish a poem on Flyhiee.Com (this being the week to do so).

For the most part I have reposted the Word of the Day Challenge Poem however today I decided to post a brand new one.

Paralyzed

I hope you do enjoy.

Word of the Day Challenge #40-Untitled Poem

How does it feel?

Vast barrenness of soul

incomplete

unless you are the centre

of this three ring circus.

Surrounded

on all sides

fawners

flatterers

flunkies.

Clowns on the night.

Clowns on the right.

Ghostly whispers follow

chasing you through the gloom

loneliness

tears on your cheeks

as you try to determine…..

Why does nobody like me?

Love bought.

Love sold.

Commodity in your tool chest.

Facade of….

perfection 

hiding black rot.

Wife.

Child.

Mistress.

Lover

Protector.

Each surround you

pandering to your fears

not all is as it seems.

Unlike Midas

anything 

everything

you touch tarnishes

bleeds black souls.

Opulent homesteads

castles all

fill not the empty hole.

Bitter truth

poisoned reality

no one loves you

no one ever does.
