Lost

I scream because I'm not heard.
I scream because I have no freedom.
I scream because it is the only way I know to express my feelings.

No one listens to the voice in the corner;
No one pays attention to the shadow they have shunned.
No one notices.

I am trapped in a box, and I am mute.
Please see my bloody tears and hear my silent cries.
Please drive away the shadows that have swallowed me.
Show me the light. Be my knight. Be mine.

i really like this poem and i can personally relate to it. it's terrible feeling ignored/invisible, and sometimes the only way you can be heard is by letting out your sadness and anger.

The second verse seems a little awkward, but I love the third!
Good job, Nicole. Keep writing!

This is full of desperation. Raw emotion. The plea at the end is truly what brings this piece of writing together. That there is hope for redemption brings life and fullness to this poem. Well done.
