I hate a word
I hate a word that is inside
I hate a word that is felt
I hate a word that cannot be explained
I hate a word
It pushes at all things
There are moments of embracing
It grabs me and holds me down
I hate a word
It squeezes me to death
There are times I cannot control it
It shuts me down to nothing
I hate a word
It smothers my heartbeats
There are struggles in the night
It shuts me and cloaks my eyes
I hate a word
It captures my minds words
There are ways it slices my throat
It chokes me and takes my life
I hate a word
I hate . . .
alone
~~~~~~~
i hate . . .
me

I love words that can’t be explained. But I get frustrated when I can’t find a word for a particular action. (sorry to be so prosaic, it’s just something that’s been bugging me lately)

I have a problem with words I knew but don’t know any longer. The concussion took a lot away.

I’ve just read your pecan story. That was lovely. It’s interesting that you knew something was missing, and beautiful that it was something your son gave you.

Don’t hate it. If you’d love it, it perhaps might permit you to catch it, won’t it? 🙂

It depends on the reason you are alone.

Loved the poem and the way in which you wrote it.. I was reading thinking what word, what word, so it kept my interest to the end. But I am said that alone is a horrible word to you. I like to be alone and do my own thing. If you accept it, reveal in it, then it might open you up and them maybe you wont be alone! Great poem that makes us all think.

There are different types of alone. Some are good and some are not. Thank you for liking my poem. I was having a moment. It happens sometimes.

Thank you. I think everyone goes through those moments. I just tend to share them more often. I think people need to know it’s okay to feel and then read my humor pieces and see that things are okay. Just admit you feel.

I agree with kazg10 and Salvavenia…as humans we always have that need to feel needed but being alone with yourself is not really being lonely..it opens the windows of your soul..never hate yourself..we are all guilty of self hate but realize that only by loving yourself you can truly be happy..nothing and no one can do that for you but you..

There are moments when we all go through what the poem says I imagine. It’s just when I do I tend to write about it and share it. That might be a bit insane to do, but it’s what I do at times. Alone is okay sometimes, but there are times when you don’t want to be alone. I have those moments. But people can read what I write and then go look at my humor pieces and see that things are okay, it’s just that I am admitting I am human and fragile at times.

Maybe tomorrow. A major Fibro flare this weekend, really that past several days combined with just feeling alone and the Migraines. A Perfect Storm so to speak. Thank you for the hope. 🙂
