you break up your altruism.
Lost in pain and emnity
even I lose clarity

a stone cold heart turns me pitch black
an animal I have become
full of hatred and gruesome.
I cut myself with dangerous words
I get so easily perturbed.
With out looking up
do you remember
the title of my simple letter;
if you can't
then you can see
complexity easily deceives. [comments] => 9 [counter] => 229 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 23 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Yes, I did, it is that everyone wants to be loved. Actually everyone needs to be loved to survive and be happy, I think. It is a necessary component to our psyches. Even though we might pull away sometimes, we are all seeking love and understanding from our friends and family and world.

You gotta love being loved.. :-) What is Life without Love? The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return...

Archie,
Loved the flow of your words, I loved the line:
"Just like the light gone through a prism"
that love and light is never distorted, but projected outward.

Blessings

This flows with a smoothness that is profound.

As Benjamin Frankin once said.

If you would be loved....love and be lovable. June

Archie-
such a true and honest message in your poem. The lack of love has caused many a dreadful day, and life. I loved the style in which you wrote your piece to give example to complexity and how easy it is to lose track of what's important. Your message is strong and expressed brilliantly.
