Tales of Torment
These 'Tales of Torment' are war stories in the form of letters, to anyone and everyone who needs to read them. The very same that don't believe they exist, an extension of their absence of belief in themselves. To those very same I say, you are not alone.
the world that torments me, is not of this world
but of that, that is spiritual, powers not of this world
that produce–
thoughts
ideas
daydreams
and nightmares
that are, of this world
i cry, and i laugh, in all ways
mental, physical, emotional–
the world that torments me, everyday
i should thank
because among such production, are these words
that can reach, comfort, and hopefully save
all who read
young
old
men
and women
who are, of this world
so the world that torments me, can do its worst
may there be no one that feels alone
may there be no one who feels they are too far gone
may there be no one that feels they can't be helped
may there be no one who can't be comforted
to the world that torments me, you've laid on my heart–
compassion
love
patience
understanding
empathy
sympathy
and forgiveness and much more
to be there for those, in this world, that need it most
and so to the world that torments me, not of this world
but of that, that is spiritual, you've given me power that is, of this world
