DISCLAIMER:
Thank you ever so much for all the kind words and sentiments expressed here.
My scribble is just me moping a lot and wallowing in some irresistible self-pity.
I have caused far too many good and kind people far too much pain and hurt and I have been untruthful as well as being many other not nice at all things to those who have been the nicest to me.
So my moping here is just that β moping.
Thank you yet again for your warmth and kindness and to all fellow WordPressers for all the kind words shared by us in this wacky but lovely WordPress family.

I am broken,
fractured, lost amidst the folds of well-meaning words spoken.
I am torn,
splintered, numbing myself in that vain hope of a new day yet to dawn.
I am dead,
inured, feeling no pain even as the flowing of red-hot crimson blood is bled.
I am nothing.
I am nothingness.
I am choking,
flailing, churning in the maelstrom as my life lies in cinders, silently smoking.
I am moulting,
discarding this sorry skin in which I feel unbearably revolting.
I am without place,
a dandelion seed on the thermals that scald my innerspace,
I am without place,
a shell of a man who can longer bear to see his own face …

I feel your pain, Afzal. I wonder if the childhood trauma statistic is connected to genetics. My mum had a serious mental illness and I had a difficult childhood because of this. Then I inherited a very similar illness to hers and the cycle might have repeated itself if I had children. Wishing you good health.

My scribble is just me moping a bit (or a lot!) and wallowing in some irresistible self-pity π.
I have caused far too many people far too much pain and hurt and I have been untruthful as well as being many other not nice at all things to those who have been the nicest to me.
So my moping here is just that – moping.
I know I sound quite harsh but I’m really really going very easy on myself.

Afzal, I hear you. I see you. If this is how you are feeling and not just writing poetry, please, please, find someone in real life that can give you a huge batch of love and help. My heart aches reading this, knowing… *knowing*… what this feels like. Again, I hear you.
