A Ticket to Hell
I didn’t think I would be triggered today. But here we are. Being triggered leads to dark poetry, and an end to writers block I suppose or maybe it’s the beginning again, oh my gosh noooooo. Come join me. Pretty please. 🙏🏽
If I were to wake In hell
Then I would’ve wasted my health
If I threw anger like lava
Then I will burn on earth where I stay
*
To save the young from the one under
The one I will leave behind with age
The one who will hunger
Until she finds the sage
*
There’s no good in the world
We took it all to the grave
If I woke up in hell
I will surrender
The 29 years I’ve lived
Wasting time with anger
But it wrinkles my skin
*
Frustrating the peace
Stay in the cage
Until I am kind again
That’s when I will say
*
There’s nothing BUT good in this world
Are you a friend or foe
Or wind in the cold
I say don’t provoke the smoke
*
But it’s me that’s in control
I’ve got to fight the sick and sow
Fruits of love and peace
When my eyes are closed
*
If I were to wake up in hell
I’ll wake with a bleeding nose
I am at war with myself
There’s things she does that I don’t share
*
Before I go to bed tonight
She will scream in my head and bite
And I will say, go to sleep you sick beast — I don’t care tonight
*
Bride of anger
When will you surrender?
You say to me
The day you squander hells bread
Your yeast will make you rise instead
So I die tonight
I die to myself
*
The idea for this layout came from reading Komals work over time.
A/N: Too triggered to write a proper a/n. But I hope you all are doing well. Hopefully no one else is triggered today. Thank you so much if you got this far ♥️🤗🙏🏽

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Good evening, my name is Samuel I'm a poet and journalist I would love to read some of your work, and build community would love if you could check some of my work out as well-!
I hope this descent into dark thoughts was temporary, Caitlin, and you are back to your brilliant life-loving self.
The imagery of hell, fire, and smoke gives this so much intensity.
Nice comeback Caitlin, you didn't need to worry and although it may be different in context for you, it stirs the blood and gets you going. Nice job and welcome back 😉😉
Oooo, bride of anger, I especially loved that. I'm so sorry you're triggered but hey, like you said, a poem came out of it and I hope it helped you process your emotions. Hope you're feeling better now. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
You know, bad you were triggered, Good for us because your writing defrinetly had a bite to it with this one.
Well, damn! That was powerfully written. I hope you’re feeling better by now, though!
Got work out the frustrations of life one way or another. Good job.
Wow. that must have been cathartic...but a good ode to our moments of frustration! Darkly excellent!
