Carleless Words
The rippling effect of careless asides cause to me such painFor words expressed in anger cut so deep
A careless glance or look askance revealing hurt and shame
A bitter harvest none would wish to reap
I often write of how I feel to quell an inner rage
Unknowing or uncaring what I say
To wake in morn regretting all the venom put to page
I shall explain to all if I may
Limitation of expression were my bane for far too long
Words of honesty I never knew
No dictionary that I knew of interprets my sad song
Other than those words like sad and blue
I always felt the world of man a complex twisted path
Full of double meanings and false smiles
Masks for all occasions hiding from all their true wrath
Depravity diffusion bile and lies
And so the tainted seeds were sown the stream set it's false course
No longer racing headlong to the sea
Now wending aimlessly upon a desert void remorse
To a turbulent violent river that was me
Now I sit and pen my words my healing nigh complete
My wounds now healed by friends so good and true
But residues of anger sometimes surface to me greet
In words of haste not written to hurt you.
Brendan.
