Wordless Wednesday: September 24, 2014

Ya know what I love about Wordless Wednesday?

I can just take one of the photos I used in a post or for a Photoshop, slap it on the page, and publish it. It's the ultimate in lazy blogging for someone who loves to be lazy any chance she gets. Unfortunately, I don't get to be lazy very often. Even when I have down time, I tend to feel like I always have to be doing, doing, doing. 

I also don't tend to do a very good job with the Wordless part. 

"But Cheese, this is a poetry blog, not a picture blog."

Meh. Pictures? They're just wordless poetry!

Shadows of Me

 

Shadows of Me

 

Angry

Belligerent when threatened

Cantankerous

Depressive

Evil Thoughts sometimes fill my head

Foolish

Greedy

Hateful

Irrational

Joyless

Kinky imagination fueled by past abuses

Lovelorn

Mean-spirited

Nasty

Obstinate

Questioning everything at all times

Rude

Snide

Touchy

Ugly thoughts form quagmires in my soul

Vicious fantasies form when I feel betrayed

Whiny

X rated thoughts during times of hypersexuality (thanks, Bipolar)

Yearning for the impossible

Zoned out

The prompt was to explore the shadow side of our psyche. These are parts of me that I try not to present to the world.

 

Not Very Gentle

 

I'm pretty sure

That if my inner self

Was a flesh and blood child

I'd be taken away from myself

 

The verbal and sometimes physical

Abuse that I have inflicted on myself

Over the years

Is anything but gentle

 

Love yourself, they say

I am hard pressed

Even to like myself

 

I've become slightly better at it

In my middle years

Nobody deserves the cruelty my inner self endures at my own hand

Not even me.
