The Web Poetry Corner - Frank Valentyn - Unlived Feelings

Unlived Feelings

by

Frank Valentyn

Is denial itself, an avoiding pretense
desperate level of defence?

Are those feelings crying out
unaddressed, suppressed
excised, steered safely to an edge
of heart and mind, rejected gifts
unparented children?

Disinherited, unaccepted, uncared for
unlived, unloved, unguided
they grow unkempt orphans
consuming peripheral debris
until their adult stance
underfed on spiritual jetsam
confronts in demand for recognition
children still, flotsam of the soul
begging to nourish the denying heart
towards acceptance
