resentment (Remove filter)
The Biggest Loser Ever!
In a world where success seems reserved for the cunning and the ruthless, I am the world’s biggest loser—the one who rises each morning, goes to work, and takes pride in self-reliance, while many take the easy route, relying on welfare or cutting corners. I shoulder my responsibilities, pay my bills, meet every expectation, and treat others with respect, only to watch those who ignore these values...

Resentment
Oh, look how far I've fallen
Like Icarus with his waxed wings
Melted by the burning desire; fell hard not soften
What does my actions do? nothing, it brings
Oh, who do I point my fingers to?
It does nothing but makes it more grim
Surrounded by shadow of guilt, no hope nor light's dim
Thoughts are loud, i just might cut a limb
Everyday I try, everyday I submit
I speak good deeds yet ...

The Fire
you lay numb
hypotherminc, dying
the fire, it dances
taunting, flickering, in and out
like hope
hope that it may help
help to that your frozen fingertips
slow your chattering teeth
soothe, ebb the icy grasp of the violent, pulsing
piercing burning
that is your fear and your doubt and denial
the drowning, whispering, screaming
wave that comes crashing
beating ...

Bonds
My life is like skyfall, I wonder if I am Mr Bond,
This is a story of unfixed bonds, as I watch them fall apart.
paternal or maternal, some internal, it’s forever chaos.
Wonder whose funeral will I attend first,
Mine or theirs, I pray it's not mine.
Something you are fond of its called a bond,
Mine lately feel faded, don't know if they are bladed yet.
I see us back on our jade...

Regret
I watched myself turn to something,
A person I was afraid to be.
Swallowed by anger, hatred and resentment,
I kept my head high for too long,
I couldn't bear what I was.
A retard and a drunkard with a lost soul,
Sold into trauma trying to please people.
Put them at ease, subtle hypnosis.
Pain, regret and depression served,
Don't know if that's karma saved for me.

Written in anger and confusion
Should the feelings of guilt
outweigh those of resentment?
Is the fear of loneliness
worth more than fear of rage?
Is it wrong to long for simplicity
and abandon the search for contentment?
Is it right to write words of anger
on a blank, unforgiving page?
Is it wise to seek solace in poetry
when every act of writing
is seen as an act of selfishness
that can ne...

Ich Du
“Ich du, Ich du!”
Those words meant nothing to you.
Nought but bindings
Tethering me to you.
Your loving face turned hard,
Your gaze hurting me like barbs.
“Ich du, Ich du!”
The words that bind me to you.
Your ghastly glare
Evoking within me so much fear.
“I truly do love you dear,”
Barely but a long-lost whisper in my ears.
Your gentle touch tur...
