Conflict that I Contain

by savigirl14

You yell at me

I hear you scream

Full of internal agony 

My ringing ears

Prevent my tears

From burning my paper skin 

 

 

All the words cut like knives 

In the tissue 

Of my brain

Feel the pain resonate

With who I have become

 

A shadow is cast

As the pain lasts

Drilling through my skull

Shattering bone on bone

As my body hurdles toward home

 

My lungs on fire 

Burning desire to feel

Or be felt by the impartial wind

That may just send me

Over the edge

I am a very creative person. I love to read, write, sing, dance and act. Poetry to me is a way of self expression that lightens someone's heart. I love white chocolate and my favorite book is Anne of Green Gables

This is very raw and gritty... Your images are powerful, the emotions stirred, too.
