Silencing [in]sanity

by stillmomsgirl   Aug 11, 2008


Calling out
with a voice that cannot be heard
Reaching
for something nonexistent
Wishing
and praying for sanity
When all she is dealt
is the cold hard truth

Her mind races
her heart pounds
Conscience screaming
[or is that her malignant demon back for another round]
Tossing and turning
wishing over could-have's and should-have-been's
Wondering if this internal hell
will ever end

Secrets and lies walking hand in hand, draw her in,
leave her lusting for more
The viscous circle of anger, redemption, temptation
begins to spin again
This demon will not silence,
leaves her cold and unfeeling
Trapped like a hungry dog
chewing its own skin for sustenance

Building new walls that seem to hold
until understanding comes along to knock them down
Her demon hides
as she pours her soul into forgiving hands
Letting herself be protected by someone other
than her twisted conscience
She begins to feel
something other than pain

    I totally agree with Danny, this piece was so powerful and amazing. it had such a gig impact. your words were so painful and left me feeling absolutely heart broken. it reminded me a lot of my brother i guess, on the 16th it will be 2 months since he died.

    he died of an overdose and i guess i will never know weather it was on purpose so im just left with the "should" haves and "could" haves. you really have a lot of talent. your emotions just poured out here. an amazing piece!!!! keep it up,x

    One thing I didn' t really like - was the transition from 2 short stanzas, to 2 longer stanzas. However, that's just my opinion. You choose what you wanan do with it.

    My favorite lines;
    "Secrets and lies walking hand in hand, draw her in,
    leave her lusting for more
    The viscous circle of anger, redemption, temptation
    begins to spin again"

    Overall, a poem of sadness that's for sure. But, you really brought through emotions here which made the poem excellent. 4.5/5.
