Murmurs in the Moonlight

I don't write about it

Or maybe I can't

The cloak of cowardice wrapped around the tip of my pen

Restricts the ink of my sorrow to flow

But I'm a human

There's only so much I can contain within myself

Only so much I can bear

Before it overflows, and this acute agony needs an immediate outlet

Streams of tears glistening in the moonlight

A sight so poetic

The suffering, not so much

So I talk to myself

To the dull white walls of this room

To something,

Because the idea of talking to someone seems terrifying

Would they love me if I show them that I'm not who they think I am?

But I need an escape

From this burning grief inside me

From myself

I can forgive other people,

I can be kind to them

But myself?

Never

I don't think I deserve it.

One of the main themes of Pride and Prejudice is the idea of pride and prejudice or the pride that individuals take in their social status and the prejudices that they hold about others based on their status. The character of Mr. Darcy is a prime example of this, as he initially looks down on those who are not of his social class, including the Bennett family. However, as the story progresses, Darcy begins to see the error of his ways and ...

Fragile Remnants

It's like each breath comes with a condition of being alone Love's icy touch leaves me with a numb body, a mind of stone Maybe I'd tolerate the skin, but I hate it when it sinks deep into my bone. The poems can't be written without letting go of every hand I've ever known The evil is buried somewhere, or it would've been a struggle to switch the tone Why does peace come to me at the price of giving up everything I own? The wound becomes fresh every time the scar is shown Broken heart, moist eye, for sins such as this, I can never atone You can feel me sinking daggers into your flesh, then tell me how you still condone?
