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

Such strong messeges here. Poetry is tremendous therapy, but nothing beats an ear to listen.

Wow, I like this one, it conveys something of a 'secret you'... but not 'trapped', rather 'strong and in protection of'... bravo!

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
