Nomad Writer

I write to find meaning and connect with the world around me…

Tainted

I’m trying

Almost in vain

To not have these

Bitter feelings

Sabotage the pure memories

I have of you

But they unfurl

In black, acrid clouds

Tainting you

In a corrupted tar

That makes me

Want to hate you

      This isn’t a personal poem this time. I’m fine, thank you for asking 🤗

        It’s well written, though. Really raw. So I thought you must have felt this hate. Makes me feel hateful for that person, too, lol.

        Haha, well I have felt deep hatred before. But this was my first attempt at describing such strong emotion. It’s a dark poem, but I’m happy it could resonate with you.
