Destroy the unhappiness, the lies and the guilt
Destroy all the years of frustration and pain
Destroy the resentment, the hurt that remains
Blow up your world, and remove from the table
Any issues of contention, but all things that were stable
Remove from your life, the cancerous lie
That festered and grew, and helped your love die
Purge the false sense of security that stagnation helped grow
Remove yourself from all that you know
Kill the disease, at the source, use the knife

Wow, this is very powerful! I love the rhythm, if you read the poem aloud it has a great energy. You are very gifted at expressing emotions in a vivid yet relatable way.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
