Eyes Of The Broken

The screams, the shouts
That echo of the wall
The silence that fills my doubts
Is the loudest of them all

Who would have knew
This would happen to me
My nightmares have come true
Why did it happen to me

Should I be glad
The hatred's gone
Should I be mad
My family's finally done

What should I do
Hide the pain away
What can I do
But bottle it all away

The courts come by
I make a choice
Should I just lie
Or hide my voice

The slam of the doors
The screams of anger
The silence comes back once more
My family is in danger

Who is that person
I don't mean to whine
But is my life going to worsen
Because I want back what once was mine

Keep them away from me
I don't want to see
This stupid reality
It'll ruin my mentality

The tears run down my face
I lose all my sense
Is there a place
That can be my defense

The silence haunts me
I know the worst is to come
What could it be
Where is it going to come from

Life do you hate me
Bring me back my family
Please hear my plea
I want my family

Where did you go
Did you have to leave
Is this better though
Even if I can no longer believe

The courts come by
I wonder if I should lie
Would it save us
Or am I just making a fuss

It's better this way right
Because no more tears will be openly shed
But then again the moonlight
Will show the tears that were unshed

The screams have stopped
The silence fuels my hope
The slam is slightly muffled and cropped
My heart won't be able cope

Who is that person there
I want them to go away
Send them far away from us
Tell them to bring me back what once was mine

God, save my family
Please here my plea
Save my family for me
Please hear my hopeless plea....

it's definitely a good poem. loved the different concept, too. but still i can see that there's room for improvement here. sorry to say it didn't make much impact to me and some of the rhymes were a bit awkward. but don't get me wrong! it is a rare piece, believe me. and a lot of people will love this, too. thanks for sharing

A powerful poem. The emotion and desire to be with family was strong and powerful. You open the door to many questions of why, where and when in this poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem. Made me wish to learn more after reading the poem.

This is awesome, I agree with Michael. I give this one a ( 10 snap). You have captivated the sound of the voices of people that are unable to scream out what happens behind the close doors, the pain, the hurt and the scenes played in their head like a never ending movie. Read my poem (What A Story They Would Tell) let me know what you think.

Wow what a flow of emotion and your heart.
Loved this, so sad but loved it.
The rhyming is wonderful

This is an awesome poem! All the questions you're bombarding yourself with are magnified by the monologue. The regret the pain in your tone is so real it's almost tangible! Wow the sentiment is really well captured in this piece. There was a streamlined flow to it all and it really how you chose to phrase this touched me too deeply arousing my sincere sympathy...mark of a talented writer.
You have a nice way of holding a reader captive cause this was quite a long phone and you managed to get me to the end. I applaud you for that!
You have crazy potential! This was flawless:)
