As the Claws Dig Deeper

As The Claws Dig Deeper 
I lay with my lips to the floor
I can feel the agony seep through my veins as the blood begins to pour
As i Gnash my teeth i hear them crack
I can feel the claws as they dig deep into my back


I am Distraught with anger and the substance of pain
Voices yelling "from this strength you will gain"
My eyes closed as i breath out in anguish
Yearning and screaming these tears i wish to banish

My fingers scratching at the tiles beneath my skin
My nails splitting as the torture spreads i begin to grin
Embracing the sorrow to make my heart black
As it becomes nothing more the a beating blood sack

Beware as i begin to rise to my feet
The gaze in my eyes no longer for the meek
As the claws of vivacity dig deeper into my soul
I gaze in the looking glass as watch my eyes grow cold

Beautiful. Powerful. A depiction of one's struggle over sufferings and pain, inflicted by others or designed by fate, as inner strength and rage gains momentum, to one day push the agonized to stand and face both torturers and life! Awesome 7! Welcome to PoetrySoup, Vintage Sparrow! Hugs and smiles! :D Kim
