Unbreakable

Unbreakable

A Poem by Mel Lisa
"

just random poem

"

They are like a swarm of disease carrying locusts, leaping about, swallowed up in their own chaos.

Spitting venom, snarling as it drips from their lips like mucus.

Crawling and creeping into your veins.

 

They are like migraines, pounding like jack hammers against your skulls.

Giving you unbearable headaches, buzzing and ringing in your ears,

they feast on that peace of your mind.

 

They are like sharp swords piercing with force and cutting through your

back down your spine. Crippling, paralyzing so you can never

move into action again.

 

They work you, absorbing, sucking all the life from you.

Leaving you drained, sick in bed, all your energy depleted.

 

But with all they do, with all their efforts, in between insincere smiles and phony

“How do you dos”

 

Remain invincible, unbreakable and defiant.

You have such a way with words and the "how do you do's" part was perfect way to end it. Also like the last line.

thank you!
I love how you leave this poem open for the reader to put whatever their 'enemy' is. The thing that attacks them and brings them down. Everyone in life has that 'thing'. I loved the wording and the deep agony that was poured into each line... you certainly got the pain across easily! I enjoyed the read. :)
