Merciful Me
heartfelt misery and merciful me... by Tammy Brown
Merciful Me
Changing those thoughts that lost their energy in me;
Confiding in a friend that ends in heartfelt misery;
Trusting the truth that, justifies thoughts in time,
Look into my eyes, this soul sheds light, let it shine.
I wish it didn’t hurt so much, spoken words I cannot trust,
I wish it didn’t have to feel this way; discharge debate; delete the pain;
Taken a piece of me, oh merciful energy, taken my heart away;
Manipulating time that feeds on deceit, understanding strength in faithful honesty,
Boasting in belief that pacifies my mind, don’t look surprised,
At a merciful me, I wish it didn’t hurt so much, spoken lies I cannot trust,
Wish it didn’t have to feel this way, discharge defeat, delay the pain, hurts so much;
Taken a piece of me, merciful me, taken my grace, my merciful heart; a piece away
Granting forgiveness from the start, that was your friend in me, my merciful energy.
I felt every line. I love the double and triple up on how you feel.
Wow such an absolutely beautiful piece, exploring human struggle... the quiet battle between mercy and self-preservation, the cost of being the merciful one when mercy leaves you empty😊😊 a cry for release from the weight of understanding too much, forgiving too often, and trusting too easily. That was your friend in me, my merciful energy.. Ah! just capturing the bittersweet realization that the person they were is forever changed. I must say it's such a brave writing that doesn’t just describe pain but including us too. Thanks for mentioning me... It's such a joyful read. Amazing. 😇😇
