Poem -
Over and Over
Haiku run .... over and over and over
An abundance ofĀ
pain, turmoil, regrets andĀ
mental health issuesĀ
Serial killersĀ
made from same ingredientsĀ
not one victim yetĀ
Except for myselfĀ
I keep killing who I amĀ
over and overĀ
So I guess I'm one
each death brings hope for new lifeĀ
I'll keep murderingĀ
Until Im rebornĀ
again with a better mindĀ
absent from voicesĀ
Reminding myselfĀ
of the past decisions madeĀ
over and overĀ
The same voices said
from youth I would amount to
nOtHiNg WiThOuT tHeMĀ

Rob if I could give you more stars here I so would ! This is epic!! I LOVE how you used the Haiku as the structure for each stanza. I also absolutely applaud you for defining the cycle of your growth, highlighting your ups and downs. The rebirth each time. This is a fabulous piece of poetry Rob and I am a HUGE fan of your work. Here you are shining your brightest. Just love this. You are never afraid to push the boundaries of poetry. And that is not only the sign of a true poetic soul, but also what births poetry into its progression. For writers such as you, help all of us think out the box. Thanks for sharing this one xĀ
ā¤š§”šThanks Gwen, you made my day with your kind words. Ps: you mightve made me try a new concept on my latest entry ...

Happy writing and thank you for noticing my words come from my sleeve...~RobĀ
You are more than welcome š I say what I see and you shine here. I always admire your honesty in your work. I am off to read that other poem. All the best š
Gwen you are one of the few.... that regardless the topic or how dark or light it is,,, you always find beauty in the artist vision. You truly grasp and understand that poetry isnt just butterflies and unicorns , its not just art..... its literally a means to life for people like me, all these writes are thoughts that used to reside in my mind all crowded with voices that were insecure. Until i started writing , voicing it all and getting the words out quick enough i had space to reflect .... well i was a narcasistic trainwreck and it all stemmed from suppresed memories i wasnt willing to accept so i was never able to grow from it. Literally poetry and kind support from fellow poets on here has been my therapy and outlet to grow. Thank you for being YOU! ā£
Wow Rob this is such a kind message to find. Thank you ever so much. Means a lot that you see that in me. I have loved poetry since my early teens. It was the only thing to help me when my bestie died. Counselling did nothing. Ever since then itās just become more and more my goto in life. Like you I can reflect better when I write. It feels good to purge in words. Thanks for noticing my passion and keep being your true self in yours, as it is what makes you shine the brightest Ā āļø x
'Except for myself
I keep killing who I am
over and over'

I still have a couple killings left in me lol...... but 32 deaths later or so.... im feeling a little normal , i use normal very loosely .... Im glad it resonatedĀ
I still have reborn somewhere amidst this all.Ā
Aye, well life is a journey Rob, a shitty one at that and it helps to have a few friends along the way...32 seems like a good number to me š
