Shanna Cochran Poet I do not know?

Battle Scars

How do you
Put in words
The poison that
Spills inside
Filling your heart
Untill it bursts.
No more tears 
Left to cry
Fighting a war
you can not win
in a nightmare
That will never die.

Empty eyes have
No reflection
Not much left
Before I break.
Falling fast with
No protection.
Consuming all
That you are
Growing deeper
Within
Alone...you bare
The battle scar.
                                       Shanna Cochran
                                                   12/10
