BURN

Wrench the pages from my worn hands as my voice shatters Leave it aflame as the embers rise, my soul now scattered Within the bounds of sanity, I try, try to claw and scrape A restless spector of taunt as I endeavour to escape Concealment shant queal it, it lingers, never away Perpetual pulverization, lo, shall the ashes stay I’ll lay my ash remnants at the poisoned tree A coiling branch tilt napes, suffocating me Embed my teeth unto the apple of feign Was not I told for safe?--now it’s pain They’ll mock me, an “enduring lost” I’ll swear to those above at cost How to not yearn does it feel? My freedom now to be heel.

Riya, your poetry is fantastic. It addresses themes of sorrow, confinement, and the desire for escape. It explores the inner agony of being lost and the yearning to escape a difficult existence. Your writing is rich and descriptive, full of vivid imagery and emotional depth. Words like "wrench," "shatters," "scattered," and "pulverization" evoke violence and disintegration.

Dear Reya, Such a heartfelt poem, i feel so many emotions flowing throughout your metaphors, and your arrangement of lines stand out! So creative and unique and deeply moving! I especially love They’ll mock me, an “enduring lost” I’ll swear to those above at cost How to not yearn does it feel? My freedom now to be heel." "Those that mock they know no better! Hope exams went well. Or are going well. My sons still ongoing. Thank you for asking! Pleasure to hear from you always and to read you! Sending you light always
