Suffer In Silence

Something I thought of and liked

Suffer In Silence

Plaster a paper smile

On my blue lips

Don't let them see we're

A step away from a slip

Although my bones

May shatter and break

You'll never shake

My golden faith

That everything will be okay

 

Let's pretend for a second

That this makes us stronger

As the days skip past

And we're growing weaker

Doubled over with hunger

Suffer in silence

Because in the end

No one really gives a damn

If you're dying or broken  

 

Don't show your

Fluttering heart is

Shuttering to a stop

Or you're gasping for breath

Never to breathe again

The last thing we need

Is to fuel Fate's fire

And burn it higher

Until we're consumed by the wildfire

 

We'll bleed out

Where no one can

Hear our shouts

But we will not beg

There is no mercy for the dead

I won't bow down

To this furious red pain

Because I refuse

To ever lose to

Life's starvation game

interesting, well written and very dark. the last stanza is so powerful!

[Sid]

This is really good, a perfectly penned dark poem...I really like the way you have described the suffering as is instead of flowering it up and i really like the first stanza it sets the poem up perfectly...great work

[RachelReaper]

I love it ! Sadly though , it suits my feelings well .

[JiDonnelly]

It's a comfort knowing I'm not the only dark writer, but this is amazing.
I don't really know how to credit you on this one i'm utterly blown away.
I would highly recommend to anybody with a dark side,

[RachelReaper]

Yeah, I've got a dark side and the only way to safely let it out is through writing.

[JiDonnelly]

Understood, I relate to that.

I really liked this poem, a lot. I think my favorite line had to be "But we will not beg/There is no mercy for the dead". That was a powerful line and it really summed up the message in this poem. Good work ^^
