Can'T Speak

she tries to speak up but there's nothing left to say
she wishes that this pain would just go away
the cuts on her arms make her stronger
but it doesn't help her soul live longer

This is such a strong powerful poem. The pain drips in this write. I want to hug the voice in this write and let them know about that road. I have traveled the depth of darkness and I had no idea how I would come back. Time is on the voice in this piece side. Time, give it time.
