Beschreibung

This sensitive volume of poetry depicts emotional ups and downs as multifaceted as the rollercoaster of everyday life. With his poetry, the author, who is affected by borderline personality disorder, not only explores what it is like to live in a world of strong emotional fluctuations, but also aims to encourage, build up and motivate with his texts. The texts allow a special perspective on our world of expectations and functioning by looking at this world through the eyes of one of those people who all too often disappear in the mills of a meritocracy and do not get a chance to speak. "Soul Fragments" offers an insight into a large, highly challenged but silent group in our society that it is very important to see and take seriously.

Foreword

Dear reader,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for holding my personal work and thus a part of my innermost emotional world in your hands.

This collection of my poems represents a piece of my soul and is an attempt to organize and express my thoughts, feelings and memories.

Now I hope you enjoy reading and find inspiration in one or two of my poems.

1st Muse

I met you one day on my journey.

I had no idea what would happen.

Couldn't resist you, you and your special way.

Getting to know each other was not a hurdle for any of us.

I enjoyed your company from then on,

You can do something that only a few people can do.

Even when we were silent, I could feel your strength,

the energy between us is comparable to that the arcs of light.

Are you able to calm it down, to silence it,

the chaos constantly raging in my mind.

It is remarkable how deeply your words are able to penetrate to penetrate,

found something that I had locked deep inside me.

You were able to overcome my defense,

to reveal more and more on your return,

gradually reconnect with my feelings. reconnect with my feelings.

That's how you managed to bring up pieces of my soul.

You became a friend, a muse, an inspiration,

revealed it to me, my own potential.

I am grateful to you for every challenge, for every lesson.

In short, your nature, your being, you are unique and phenomenal.

2nd soul fragment

A situation that everyone knows,

Dialogs that everyone has already heard,

unspoken thought that burns deep within us,

beguiled by another person.

"Take it slowly, don't rush it," they say,

those who think they are experienced,

But they never know how or what I feel,

Thoughts, feelings, dreams, forever mine.

"Give yourself some time!"

I can feel it running through my fingers like fine sand.

Taking time is possible, giving time borders on impossible.

Take time for what is crucial in my case, I long for your hand.

"Get to know each other properly first!"

At what point do you really know each other?

The longing begins to flicker, grow and and finally burn.

I am happy in your presence, that is what is crucial and important.

This poem, a piece of mine,

a small fragment, a piece of soul,

There's much more, if you want it, I'll show you.

3. tracks

I remove traces,

Traces of a past pleasure, I philosophize.

What traces do I leave behind?

What do I care?

How much does it affect you?

How much do I want to please?

There is always damage,

when worlds collide?

We want to please,

and so we do each other a favor.

A nice gesture, without questioning.

Be nice to others and they will be nice to you, I hear you say.

I don't want to complain,

will continue to refuse no favors,

stand out positively, be remembered.

Maybe overdo it now and then.

Leave traces, in the hope,

someone follows,

The question that remains unanswered:

"Is that what you wanted?"

4. feelings like poison

The organism is infected,

every year anew.

The sphere of thought is irritating,

this familiar situation swore eternal allegiance.

The walls restrict your living space.

The wings atrophied beyond use.

Please let it be a bad dream.

The feeling of freedom is slowly being shattered.

The home-grown pressure is constantly increasing,

In the end, there is only one question.

The person in the mirror has been silent for a long time,

Do you see what I'm not saying?

Poisoned and overwhelmed by a storm of thoughts,

great excitement manifests itself in the body.

The nervous system is overrun.

The feeling of being locked up, of always feeling

has crystallized more clearly.
