Pain

Wounds of war, healed with stitches,
Wounds of soul, healed with words,
Pain inflicted,
Cruel to me.

I say no words,
I cry no pain, for I am strong,
Broken and locked,
Will I ever be the same,
I'm the one suffering,
You don't feel the pain,
The burden I have hide.

My words come from feeling,
Nothing but a lie, I'm not lying,
Broken on the ground,
I'm crying out my eyes,
When realisation comes,
I call myself a coward,
My problems are minuscule,
Compared to a life,
I'm not a poet I'm no-one.

In the scheme of things,
No matter, how much I long for you to know,
My name, my reason, but the sorry tears,
Refuse to let back,
I'm crumpling at the knees, dropping in despair, but

artistic licence,
Never fails.

Quiet

You ask if I am okay. I really don't know what to say. I try to open my mouth to speak. But words in my head are playing hide and seek. So I keep quiet and try to smile.

Why Is It That You Cry?

When clouds of pain loom in the sky, When a shadow of sadness flickers by, When a tear finds it's way to the eye, When fear keeps the loneliness alive, I try and console my heart.

Despair On Call

There's a place inside that feels so broken, a place that never seems to heal. I ink about the plight of my everyday life and begin to wonder, is this really my life.

A Hard Thing To Do.

It's the hardest thing to do. It makes me feels so weak. I say the words reluctantly. When I just don't wish to speak. It's something even you'll do. Yes, everyone does wrong. It can be a happy...

Just cause...

All I can do is cry. With nothing to console. Nothing else to say. Just letting tears fall. The memories are painful. And I wish to vanish them. But nothing happens. It's just me hoping.

Heavy Heart

Heavy heart, I left the room. It felt as though I knew my doom. Heavy heart, tears of pride. Do you know you're why I cried. Heavy heart, but it's set in stone. Nothing to be done. I'm all alone.

Control

My eyes are tired, Red with pain, Drained out, Like desert rain. Dull ache Through my bones, Crushed silk, Love on loans. Fairy wings Through locked doors, Unpainted walls, Red foot sores.

Stuck In The Dark

Soul lays empty,think of the past,. Wishing for things not meant to last,. Why can't you move on and focus on what's ahead,. Instead of sitting in misery and despair instead,.

@LivvyBlueEyes What doesn't kill you gives you a lot to write about.

@Blueblotts yeh I agree, it influences what i write... I guess if you think about the bigger picture then you can write about everything emotionally...
