My Words

in poetry •  6 years ago 

My words are escaping a suffocating soul.
They seek to breathe and be whole.
Laced with unresolved feelings.
Feelings swinging.
Out of a vile tongue.

I speak on behalf of the abused souls.
Those buried beneath their fouls.
Choking in the hands
Of a cruel society
While imprisoned by their brands.

I lent my voice to the meek.
The ones that never dare speak.
Harboring pain inside
Where bitterness then hides
Unable to free themselves.

I write for those dying in shame.
Those with demons they are yet to name.
Perfecting the art
Of carrying around guilt
Right beneath their face masks.

I chant with zeal
For the souls who refuse to seal
The pain that comes with
Existing in the earth's width
Claiming to be living the life.

Great use of the face mask prompt. I'm afraid I didn't even try on that one--not sure why?

I am working on bettering my work... Not sure if it's working yet. Thank you for the feedback :)
