Pain [July 15, 2016]

Poetry

He lives within the tortured recesses of his soul

Inside his darkness, where no one can stroll

Dwelling within a faceless world divided by fear

He would know this pain, but can no longer feel

 

An emotionally dead silhouette divided from society

No words reach him, he is forever cloaked in anxiety

For within his mind is an everlasting war of pain

That which has brought him to his knees, forever in chains

 

Between the searing winds and the raging tide

Inside the agony of his tortured mind

Locked in a battle between right and wrong

Inside his misery is where he belongs

 

His transparent eyes have forever been open to despair

In the depths of his pain, within his own nightmare

It was always his fate to fight against decay and the heartless

To fight against ignorance, torment and the pain within silence

 

For he is a prisoner, shedding blank tears of compassion

For a real world, he fights to bring salvation

For this poisoned world, tonight he breaks his chains

All he desires, is to free the world from pain

Unique words

I do my best, to try not to use the same words in a poem more than once, (except maybe the title word) and I also try to focus on what I want to say, rather than rhyming. But so far, rhyming just comes easy!
