Just Another Day

Silent tears poured from her wounds, Making tracks forever known, Rage and Pain echoed around her in silence, Laughter at the thought of being alone, One drop of acid in an eye, Pain multiplied tenfold by salt in the wound, Pounding heart complicated by resentful lungs, Waiting for someone to say she had bloomed, Screams shut down, cries held back again, Accursed by the blames of others, Spirit and self-love ripped to shreds, Another day, just another, Hand in hand, hand on metal, Foot on cold hard love, Tongue on shame, hard pressed in silence, Heart singing in rhythm, heart cold focused on things above, Not just another day, not another day, Screams shut down, cries held back again, Tears of remembrance, tracks forever known Last day, singing silent songs of pain.

A lovely first post Wila,,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

What a heart-wrenching write and read. It sounds like you have experienced great pain -- even if this is a fictional poem. You've written this with an empathy that only those who have walked down that road would be able to convey. Many of us here understand that kind of pain. Thank you for sharing this with others. This will touch many hearts. And welcome to Soup.
