Shadows of Emotion and Understanding

It’s hard to feel when you have been broken
Betrayed and kicked in the teeth
Welcome to my life for two years
Hiding in the shadows of my fears
Then I became bold for a moment
Showed my writing to the light
Bit my nails as I anxiously awaited
The comments of people fated
Two people new to me laughed
I nervously begun talking
My shadows claimed me along with something
I started writing Committed to the nothing
I poured my soul hidden by laughs and smiles
I wondered if anyone could understand
The two new people reached out their saving hands
We discovered we liked the same bands
So I was saved from my depression
The blade left my wrist unscathed
Then all this came crashing down
Because of a fucking circus attention seeking clown
My new found brother slipped into his depression
After been so close to free
My sister’s rage flared
The stupid fool’s fate ensnared
Coldly calm and polite words
Yet our souls burned with rage
My brother still cannot hold hate
But to me the fool has sealed his fate
I allow my fingers to flow
Sister and brother laughing on msn
Angry I post what has driven laughter insane
And now I am taunted with bitter shame
My understanding and forgiveness I try to show
While hiding a bitter heart
Instead I am rewarded with abuse in form of poem
How now my words are now blunt and solemn
Am I really my brother’s toy?
Or is your view screwed?
That must be it for I am no man’s slave
I sense your fear your soul to save
To long have I rambled on here
I use my humour to hide death and fear
So now I have broken tense and changed my beat
I wonder now if your eyes can leave your feet

I'm speechless...It was amazing. It showed that you were angry, but now you're filled with a regret that shouldn't be there. The bottom line is that he asked for it.
Loved, but liked.
I can see. You mentioned previous events...Sis, you know I'm there for you, right?

I read another comment where you say you are detached from your emotions. Can you say denial. Your emotions flow through your fingers to the page for the world to see. Bravo. The essence of poetry.
