Torment

This strange feeling that I can't shake ...

This strange feeling insideIt's so hard to explainTurmoil and tormentMaking my head spinDespite my compassion and honestyTrying hard to make others feel good about themselvesI often retreat to my lonely pathetic world I live inWith a sense of shame and tears swelling from my eyesViolently wanting to throw upTo escape this sense of lonelinessSeeking comfort and friendship from othersYet bringing pain and hurt upon those I...

Silence!

A short poem about how silence can be so hard to live with.

The silence is what I hear every dayUnbroken sounds of whispers being heard from a distanceVoices of those I long to hear, yet are always so far awayA sound, a smash, or even a hello from a stranger to make the pain go awayYet each day returns to the beginningLike a never ending circle of unforgiving torment 

I wish someone could understand The burn, the urge, the pain, The feeling of being trapped in sand Or being caught in the ice cold rainLike its out of your controlWhen in fact it controls you You can try to set a goalBut it is the best you can doSometimes every day is a fightAnd you try not to surrender Other times you feel normal and right And life isn't so tenderI wish you could walk in my shoes For even just an hour To...

With a quick glance at the clock, she noted two hours had passed.  The room was silent and s...

Your wanting me to show more interest, to always keep a big bright smile ~Silent Scream

Fatima unlocked the door to her apartment complex, after having to catch two metro trains and a twenty-minute walk. She just wanted a hot shower and a good morning meal. She silently shut the door behind her and tiptoed to her room, peeking into each one to make sure the room was completely still. She snuck into her room, flopped onto her bed and pretended she was there the whole time.Five minutes later, the light flicked...

No stars above

'No, you'll never be alone. When darkness comes, I'll light the night with stars.' ~Skillet

The bone chilling wind blew across the field into the barren city. Dense, dark clouds shrouded the sky above, threatening a heavy downpour. The only glimmer of light was from the misty orange hue of the solar powered street lamps, which illuminated the empty streets of the city’s outskirts. It was like a beacon of light seen from miles away. This beckoned to her from out of the wilderness that enveloped the world. The rai...
