Silenced with Fingers

This one is a personal piece, as will much of my new stuff be.

The problems inside

Can be silenced with fingers

Insecurity subside

Yet the pain lingers

Forcing it all

Burning and scratching

Sanity falls

Compulsion catching

A new way of life

A friend and a foe

Cuts as a knife

All filled with woe

A void need to fill

Have but a set goal

What first was your will

Overtaking control

Perfection to need

A need is to long

Now wish to be freed

Too far in the wrong

The grip is too tight

Cannot twist away

Too weak now to fight

The price you must pay

Began was by hate

And planted a seed

Time need but wait

Swallowed by greed

It's never enough

Each victory mundane

Attempt to fight rough

Yet all goes in vain

Keeping it down

Both volume and lore

Sink into your frown

Background evermore

Accept the new role

The problems it brings

Dig deep as a hole

Out but by wings

Once seemed a friend

Was based upon lies

Brought by to mend

Weep bleeding eyes

Embracing to hope

All in mind is the win

Allow tragic to cope

I let Mia in.

[Jordan's Back]

These poems have a singsong likerhythm I noticed, almost like a slow dark rock ballad. You seem to pierce the soul in pieces like this which makes it appealing to the reader.

This was really emotional. I like how you make it so transitional.
