The Struggle Within

Keeping out the wind, drowning out the roar, running from this Avalanche, knocking at my door. The chains are getting tighter, my blood will not last, Shackled to my enemy, my heart..it pulses fast. Dripping, dropping, without stopping, this body, can't take much more.. The few that I do let in, use me, then throw me to the floor.. The beats are getting slower now. The pain, is starting to subside.. Darkness, closing in on me, my Demon, pulls me to the Great Divide. Aaron Irizarry

Aaron, 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 <-@
