sharper than knives

the second poem wrote for the verbal abuse contest

                                 The pain runs deep it’s in your veins

You can’t cut it out you’ve tried it before

It burns like fire and leaves endless scars

Their words are shaper than knives

In the bedroom is a noose that they tied

When they said to give up

When they said you couldn’t win

You cried for help but

“It’s only words” they say

The words are poison they put in your mind

You take the pills to forget but pills can’t make them stop

It doesn’t stop until you’re not who you were

Until all you see is what they called you

It’s not enough

That your wrists drip red ink to write their novel of you

It’s never enough

A noose hangs made from their words tied with there lies

And for the past week your words have only been

Goodbyes

Their words slip away

The world fades to black

There isn’t pain here

The poison leaves your mind your thoughts are clear

No

Your wrists burn

NO

Their words are still there
