A Bitter Soul

I have dabbled in poetry a little bit and I stumbled across this poem that I had written back in 2008.



A Bitter Soul
May 20, 2008



Having multiple dreams and opportunities
Snatched from beyond her reach
So abruptly without a warning sign
Not even a lesson left to teach
Going through her daily routines
Still nothing could keep her occupied
So many things raced through her mind
So many things she have endured, yet survived
 Is it possible to save a bitter soul?
A woman who was scorned so deep?
A woman who has done no wrong?
A woman with a heart so meek?
 Pain pierced her heart so deep
Feeling of loneliness so robust
Not having any support around her
But keeping her head up was a must
They say what doesn't break you
Is only to make you stronger
The damage was so shameful
Too hard to hold her head up any longer
“He hurt me and I can’t move on”
To others sounds like a cliché
Sounds like statements of a bitter woman
But it was something she lived everyday
The anger, frustration and grief
The disappointments and disgust for life
All the nervous breakdowns she had
She reminisced as she held the knife
Ending her life would be senseless
Nothing from it she would gain
Still she forced the knife through her chest
She felt the blood eject with great pain
She lay in her puddle of dismay
With her life flashing while she ached
Watching life abandon her body with regret
But by now it was definitely too late
