Poem -

OVERFLLED

I am overfilled with gloom
Like a too full cup
I spill
With the troubles of others
Their misery
Care
Depression anxietyΒ 
I feel it all there

It enters me freely
Buries itself within
I am a misery tomb
A breathing bin

And the joys of life
Now bypass meΒ 
Succeptable no more
Am I to glee

To the happiness of life
The feel of carefree
To the promise of kind words
Or the gift just to be

For buried below
Is realities bite
Underneath joy
Lies the second wife

And her cruelty astounds me
Her anger a curse
On earths bloodied soil
She writes her dark
verse

It's now hatred
Destruction
And agony
I see
Imagery of horror
I can't seem to flee

And life's generous gift
Of sweet reprieve
Is blown away

Like the warm summer breeze

leaving me
Tormented and desolate
Horrified and sad
By the wrath I see
And all that is bad

Life's song is drowned out
By the screeches of pain
And life's story
Retold
In manipulation and gain

So I asked my maker
Why is this so
Why was I choosen

To feel it
See
Know

I haved deemed it to be
My maker replied
For the circle is broken
On the back of your hide

You are like the sponge
Your role to absorb
Less horror let loose
On that doomed
Damned
Blue orb
Marion Price

Fear not the hyperbole

Every shriek

If ever the moon nursed
The sea the face
On the water's surface
Surely would scorn me...

call it what you can...still

the first two sat in the den of their time
indulging in the memories
