Bent To Bridges Poem by Sean Green

Bent To Bridges



Moving forward offers hope
something more than what's deplored
this distrust is my own
resolving motion will be a cure
to remain will be an end
consumed by hatred from within
never trying, the greatest sin
with damnation near at hand

twisted palaces tower high
built on foundations made of lies
pure disgust would be its name
lurking deep inside the brain
rationalization spring to mind
stating hatred from mankind
against the mirrors of the void
only gracing ideal flaws

rote imperfection becomes a curse
mutterings by the disturbed
yet there's a way to overcome
relinquish pain for so much more
deny the voices that hold the chains
look to the road the sun reveals
there the cages are no more
bent to bridges instead of walls

the distance traveled is so small
enough to claim comfort's prize
blessings heaped upon the ones
who dare to pass to the sun
there the travelers may convene
compare discoveries few have seen
absent of the troubled thoughts
the future waits in the beyond.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The poem "Bent to Bridges" was by inspired thoughts about inward phobias, inadequate self-worth, and the internalization of society's misgivings.These are countered by fellow travelers that give comfort and hope.The distance between self-hatred and freedom is then experienced in quantities too small to measure by conventional means.
