Poem of the day

LAMENTATION
Caged with nowhere to turn, life is changing beyond my control,
causing this excruciating ache in the bottom of my soul.
Someone else is pulling the strings,
Escape, I want to dig my self out to the streets,
filled with despair, filled with doubt.

Mute! not able to express,
silent screams that no one can hear.
I try to speak but nothing can express,
this feeling of sadness and worthlessness.
Emotional pain, walks with me through the day,
and sleeps with me through the night,
leaving me depletes with no strength to fight.
Anger for not having the courage to turn things around,
not able to untie the chains and change my course.
False pride rules supreme,
always there to whisper in my ear.
Time, wasted and badly spent,
lots of hurt, lots to repent.
empathy, what I need is for someone to see,
someone to see the real me.
Love with no strings,
just giving generously amongst other things.
Words, when used as a weapon can cut like a knife,
capable of doing so much damage and take the Bloom out of the field.
