Sick truth from a land of genocieA Poem by Violet O'BrienThe sick sad feeling in my stomach when I miss you
The tears that don't fall from my eyes And the razors that don't cut me I feel no pain My armor is just too thick I can't feel anything I wear these wurds right on the surface The elegant scripture of my pain and torment embedded much too deep to take off It's not a Fake thing it's not like all the others who at the end of the day can just take off their masks Their feelings so f*****g fake He is the only living person that turns me on the only one that doesn't need to be dead and bloodied The only one that I would let slip inside Touch what's sacred under all this metal This is not a whisper This is a f*****g battle cry I am fighting for this You don't have to lie down and die There is a reason to keep going For every single person this holocaust touches there is someone that will understand Someone that has been wounded Someone just as cruel as you I know this now There is a mirror to every soul And you will find it where you least expect it When you are no longer searching And finally giving up You will be reflected in the mind of someone else And they will find you Like a message carved deep into an arm Hieroglyphics no one but that person could understand A message of the hidden shame for secretly liking the abuse And not knowing any better And finally being shown it was alright to experience it as a child After all that's what you were You did not know what you know now you thought all the pain was normal that everyone went thru it Then you go thru the pain of finding out it wasn't normal Take a blade to your wrists then meet the one person That went thru the same shame The relentless persecution of an innocent soul All because momentarily the lite inside of a child is blinding And they can't help but yearn to put it out To have it start from a place they block from memory Because it's all too That the abused will abuse if you don't acknowledge the demons they will consume you so you must make the choice take the painful trip down the road of memories find your way to the labyrinth you've built in your mind and unravel it or lie there shivering in the dark because you're just like the man from your past just like the woman you can't remember and you can't understand why you hate yourself don't block out the memories remember them let them hurt you again because only thru remembering the pain can you fully overcome it and kill that part of yourself © 2008 Violet O'Brien |
