My Troubled #Poetry

in poetry •  5 years ago 

The unseen pain of poets
Is dangling from my soul
Emotions are shooting like comets
Darkness is looking to conquer
Where blinding light once was
Open wounds lie about
Bleeding just from the stares
Fingers on my direction
Every breath is criminalised
I am tainted
Too flawed for this hypocrisy
Religious men branded my kind sinners
Unwelcome in their places of prayer
Yet they preach love.

I am broken rainbows
Within me streams of sadness flow
Words choke my pens
Looking to spit what is hidden
Beneath a thick skin
And beyond what lies within
There my confused being
Tirelessly explores
The dark woods that house my soul.

Sun cries over my missing moon
Nights made me a loon
In my mind I am fighting demons
Inside the walls I built
A battle to live through each day
Good music has a way
Of keeping me tethered to earth
Taking away the grudge
Of my staying alive a little more longer
Long enough for the sorrowful melodies
To heal my broken.
