Save me
Eyes shut.
Clenched fists.
Lava, swims out of my eyes
Long fingernails dig deep in skin
Quivering lips
Smile, a
Broken glass
Tied down
Leather belts
Scars, from the pain I’ve felt
What did I do pa, to
Deserve this
Door locks
You’re gone
Empty air
Left alone
Darkness stares me in the eyes
Numbness strangles my delicate soul
Deceptive heartbeat
Quiet screams
Save me.
Author's Notes/Comments:
I reflected on the past 30 days of my life and realized that there is someone I could write about. I do not personally know her, as she is my sister’s friend in another city but her experience was powerful enough to write about. She was being abused by her own parents. I found that this perfectly relates to the emotions I wanted to address in my poem. It is also something that I feel strongly about.
