Soul left but the Truth remain

It's about sexual abuse

Head close to the mirror,
And starting to fear.
Grabbing my neck,
As I hold up the gear.
Whispering my ear,
But I don't wanna hear.
Unwanted touch,
As the breath feels so near.
Eyes filled with tears,
But the bleeding was mere.
Exposing my skin,
And the smile was so clear.
Breaking my finger,
As I try not to linger.
Seeking for help,
But nothing appeared.
Now it's just a body and shattered bone,
Looking for help was my mistake alone,
Losing my breath in darkness with pain,
Trusting no one is a truth that remain.

This poem revolves around the individual's internal battle with fear and pain, as portrayed through vivid imagery of physical and emotional suffering.

Such abuse is horrible, and its such a sad reality now, where u have to keep hush hush about it when it's something we need the most help with.

Sad truth, u ended with "Looking for help was my mistake alone,
Losing my breath in darkness with pain,
Trusting no one is a truth that remain." Most times we can't trust anyone when it comes to this.

Language used in the poem is evocative and intense and phrases such as "unwanted touch" and "eyes filled with tears" evokes vulnerability and trauma, enhancing the emotional depth.

VERY WELL WRITTENN.

This poem shares a universal message with us readers about the importance of acknowledging and addressing mental health challenges while reflecting on the consequences of isolation and mistrust.

Thanks for sharing,

No problem

You change" to trust no one is the truth that remains "... if the poet doesn't want to trust others or else you can leave as such, trusting no one in case the poet is broken inside by trusted someone...

This poem rhymes well.
Depicts emotional and can be related to self awareness.... chances are high that one gets abused even most trusted and secured and well known places where they completely trust being there, and something happens out of nowhere. It's sad reality. Good thing voices must heard and truth will hopefully survive..

Thank you. Well, it's something that shouldn't be hidden but told to the entire world.
Thank you for the review.

I don't know if this poem is imagined or personal and real.

If your post is fictional but based on your awareness, it's a fine piece of work that near catalogues what goes on and how it horrifically effects the abused, etc. In other words you have melded emotion with tragedy and offered it as an example of what is globally rife.

If you are sharing personal experiences I sincerely hope you have contacted a helpline, surgery or trusted friend. In other words, you truly and kindly need help and advice.

As a piece of writing you have added just enough literary flair to tragic fact

It's not based on my experience. It's just that so many news and articles keep coming up and I ended up writing on this.
Thank you.

You portray a horrible event with vivid images of things we don't want to see, feel, or hear.
This was not a fun read. More sad and depressing than anything else. The truth hides behind the nature of mankind, and yes, these things do happen, and they are real. Earth, along with being a beautiful place to live, horror exist along side.
Now I must go and play a happy song to lift my spirit.
"Don't worry, be happy." It's not always that easy though...is it?
A good write.

Thank you so much.

jarring, to say the least, but not a bad piece of writing, at all...


I'm confused as to if the mirror is a psychological perspective or if the action is actually taking place..
either way, I think it's pretty good..

Thank you so much.
