The voice of pain

The voice of pain

A Poem by ReneeJ
"

depression, pain, loneliness, confusion

"

Heartbroken, lips puffy

Tear drops soak through cotton, leaving permanent stains

Key reluctantly pushed into the door of hell

The rush of pain runs to her and grabs the throat

Suffocating the victim who only stares

 

Intoxicated and wounded

Teeth marks outlined in the once smooth, innocent skin

Pink lines gradually form, hiding the blue-green original lines

Purple welts and bent head

 

The red drops decorate white tiles

Most are washed down the drain

Mirrors banged

Cries of hopelessness darken the white walls

 

Prison like rooms with pink curtains

Glass bottles along windowsills

Empty and broken, sharp edges

Dark circles like sunglasses

Expose the grief

Nobody asks

 

She lies on cold tiles

They step over

She cries, it cracks the walls

They turn up the volume

She screams and they brew coffee

She’s finally silent

And they sleep

So sad and poignant indeed, all are born into this world as equal, yet just because some fall by the wayside or on hard times, more fortunate, privileged folk ignore the plight and pleas for clemency, choosing to merely step over them !

A powerfully emotive poem, penned with compassion and a philanthropic, discerning style, kudos to you ReneeJ !

The graphic ness is overwhelming. Sorrow comes to my heart when reading an ill fated life.

You infused this one with much emotion, using sharp, poignant lines. I like "Cries of hopelessness darken the white walls" Something about it was sinister to read. I like this overall. And stop saying you are not a poet, cuz u r, and you are a decent one at that. :)
