Best Left Unspoken

Best Left Unspoken

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

Me, just me.

"

I'm in the dark, i'm screaming, but outside i'm whispering.

In my heart i'm singing but i know nobodys listening.

I'm looked at by you as just a person, just a bother

But deep inside i know i'm free, outside it's another

I'm caged inside invisible bars, chasing invisible cars.

Following my unseeable dreams that, other people are tearing apart.

I gave up once, now i'm back to the start, making, creating literal art.

I got a girl that needs me, her life, i'm gonna be more than just a part of it.

Until the day i day, from the end, do the start of it. These are just the thoughts i get.

When, i'm off the grill, but still, i'm awfully lit. You see clean wrists, i see, targets to slit.

But i shouldn't bring my own body to my danger

Just write a page of anger that makes my mind endangered.

i hope that someday, a different person you will see me.

But i hope that when you see me like that, i'll be able to be breathing.

"I'm in the dark, i'm screaming, but outside i'm whispering." Makes me think of myself.

This is very relative poetry for me. As I feel like it is on me. These lines are very nice

i hope that someday, a different person you will
see me.
But i hope that when you see me like that, i'll
be able to be breathing.

"But i shouldn't bring my own body to my danger
Just write a page of anger that makes my mind endangered."
Writing had been my salvation for 40 years. A powerful poem. Your words are true. Sometime we must have concern for the people who need us. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

An amazing arrangement of words and the desire to free ourselves from the things that hold us down. The story is progressive, the pace perfect and the plot is very good. Good work buddy, I really liked it! :)
