Survive

Pieces of broken finger nails are strewn about the floor Blood spots covering the wall do i have to tell you more The pounding of a thousand lunatics screaming in my Mind. The darkness of insanity you can easily find. Searching for some direction to find the way out So to make someone listen we have to scream and shout The pain is not visible it is all held within So we must keep on fighting if we really want to WIN .

a powerful and poignant poem that describes the indescribable and unfathomable pain so people feel emotionally. The words 'searching for a way out' spoke of the desperation. Your words definitely drew attention to the 'invisible pain' some people experience. Well done. Sara

This is to draw attention to the invisible Pain people suffer and the way they find it almost impossible to open up and seek help The frustration and why they feel they have to scream and shout. And how much they need to struggle to Live day to day.
