Don't Mock My Pain

Let me bleed.

Don’t Mock My Pain

Feel free to mock

my sanity,

for you then judge

me cheaply.

You discard the truth

of pain.

You ignore the true

meaning of emotion

and its depth

within the soul of an errant man.

Do you see the heart merely

as a heavy, solid, lifeless rock

or as a pulsing, beating

pumping organ,

alive within a moist breast?

One lubricated by desire,

by loyalty to true love.

So my belief, my faith

has slipped for a moment in time

as my body and soul recovers

from the blows

inflicted by punctured

belief in hollow words,

as I have become the victim

of blatant and unworthy deceit.

Mocking another's pain truly shows a lack of empathy. No one can know another person's journey in this life, and it is cruel to trivialize someone else's struggle.

John i am really going thtough a harsh phase in my life. A smile we fake hides thousands of crack within us. But even the strongest breakdown at some point of time.so when people mock my inner goddess winks at me. Because soon there will be a time in their life that will suffer the same.I really use this line a lot but i say don't mock my passion!hah. Well this was a wonderful poem so full of angst. I will keep it tugged at my heart for a long time :) love and wishes

Hi Sophie, I am sorry you are going through a harsh phase but you have the spirit to see the light at the end of that tunnel and that is a precious state of mind. Many thanks.

[Sophy Freebirds]

Always a pleasure John. I will get through it :)

I think only those who have never felt any romantic heartbreak would ever mock it. The pain can be overwhelming as though someone has died. Perhaps sometimes … we do however underestimated the time need for recovery:)

True dear Pryde. I opften think, no matter how harsh sounding, that those who lose someone through death get the better deal as they can have closeure whereas those who loved often are denied it. Thank you.

[Pryde Foltz]

Yeah … I was denied closure for a very long time … never quite sure why he didn't want to give it to me … but he didn't. I finally had to trick him into doing it … so I know where you are coming from … but in my case … the thing about the person I didn't want to believe … it was the truth … what I am getting at is that … you probably already know what you need to know … it is about accepting it … and they probably don't want to accept it about themselves which is why they keep you hanging on … here's a little peekaboo if you are interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYLhFMAOf1U

Ah to be a phoenix...............I guess my last let down left too many unanswered questions to make it an easy pass.

[Pryde Foltz]

Oh hun … it took me over a year and half to get to where I am now … and that was from a very short relationship … it just hit me and lingered and wouldn't go away … until I learnt what I needed to know about myself … not just what was up with him.

we more often than not, get mocked by those who choose to hide their pain...

but eventually those who mock will suffer the same emotions...and then will understand.

we are not insane...we don't choose to be dramatic...we don't choose to be victims..

and they will soon find out...what knocks us down and out, makes us stronger when we get up.

Jacob you get it! Thank you!
