Hording Distortions

Never, ever

is a distortion

Always, forever

is a distortion

Magnifying

is a distortion

Minimizing

is a distortion

Hording hurts

is a distortion

Denying gifts or pleasure

is a distortion

Reasoning with my emotions

is a distortion

I want to die

is a distortion

I want to live

is a distortion

all of it

all the thoughts I have

the heart that beats in my chest

the mind that races constantly

without mercy

is a distortion

    The repetition here, which, to me, is very drone-like, gives this piece an interesting, dead-inside tone. I want to die has the same tone as I want to live, for example. And it’s all a distortion, therefore, all equal in its falsehood. You’re damn good at psychological poetry!

    This does sort of have that “all sins are equal” feel to it. All thoughts are equally distorted. Thank you for your comment.
