Jessica K Poet Free verse

A Cry a Howl

I hate living a lie
I hate pretend i'm fine
I hate putting on a smile
When I feel nothing but numb

I can't tell people these things I feel
For it goes to deep, you see
To many lives our at stake
To many fires to jump through

Sleepless nights, trying to concentrate
Thoughts seem distracted by the howl of the wolf
How there cry oh so similar to mine
Only mine is to remain unheard

Michael Smith April 1, 2012 at 7:56 PM Such strong messeges here. Poetry is tremendous therapy, but nothing beats an ear to listen.

Izzy Gumbo May 31, 2009 at 8:30 AM Wow, I like this one, it conveys something of a 'secret you'... but not 'trapped', rather 'strong and in protection of'... bravo!

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 31, 2009 at 1:44 AM Jessica, I really like the last verse a LOT! The analogy of your cry with that of a wolf is brilliant. And then to say that your cry is unheard adds power to the verse. Excellent work. Keep writing. Be yourself. Find friends that accept and love you for who you are inside, for your good heart. Lovingly, Dane
