….

I’m filled with resentment for them all

they’re tearing my heart screaming out of my chest

I’m tired of dancing to the same old song

winding around and around

and forever falling down

singing way out of tune to the rest

just an odd perception of noise

trying to fight a losing battle

with what i am inside

no where to hide from this anguish of mine

wrapped up in each breaking lie

drowning from the guilt

shoved at me from all the faces in my life

this twisted charade stealing who i really am

so sick of knowing the difference

between what is wrong and right

but being unable to change direction

decisions that have crumbled away time

the maddening sickness

leaving my stomach in ropes

the truth will never break out

never bleed and kill for breath

my freedom of choice

slammed at every newly found door

silence to you is golden

and my feelings are left unspoken

just raked out and discarded

unheard continuous wailing sirens

building higher in pitch

dragging me under the aches

my fate is to travel down this murky road

lonely of heart torn out and worn on my sleeve

crushed under the burdens

with each corner spiked with hate

locked up and left reeling

all hidden deep within this strangers eyes

    I don’t envy what you are going through but hopefully being able to write down these feelings will help a little. A very expressive piece.

    a gripping painful sense of emotions .. here you seem to catch the cruelty, the hypocrisy, the blindness that lends to this write well done Shadow

    An expressive piece.

    I can feel the anguish in this poem.

    I also get a sense of self imposed slavery or societal oppression that you yearn to break free from.

    Very cathartic.
