Silenced Pleas

Silenced Pleas

I’m feeling sick with disgust that should be yours.

Crawl under your bed and sob.

Scream, insides bleed for freedom

from the torture you forced into me.

 

Kneel down and gasp for air as you

pull your hair in vain attempts to cling

to reality.

 

Listen to that one song that

paralyzes you with fear

and forget where you are.

 

Awake from your peaceful sleep and

cling to the harsh unforgiving walls

that reject you.

 

 

Stand in a scorching shower and

feel your skin turn red as the scars on my arms.

Let the heat strip away the dirty label that sticks

to you like the day old smell of sweat and tequila.

 

Keep your eyes open in fear your surroundings

will be replaced with images of trauma

you wish you could un-see.

 

Pull the bandaid off the ugly.

 

Another day, another tear you will never understand

because you can’t hear the word I am too afraid to cry.

"silence Pleas". This is like an echo returning sound not words, impressive.

Thank you for such positive feedback :)

It is so amazingly crafted! It just blew me away in its intensity. Every line bore deep into my senses and i could almost feel my skin crawl.
Kudos!

I am glad that this poem was able to reach you! I am always scared that the intensity I feel when I write something won't be conveyed to the reader but your comment has encouraged me that it does, thanks heaps!
