Chains

She can’t see the light
Even though outside its bright

The darkness has eaten her inside
So sad, her soul’s already committed suicide

Lockin’ herself in her room
She silently tries to accept her doom

I can’t get in to help her
Instead I’m forced to watch her suffer

She runs away from home
I know she wants to be alone!

Break me outta these chains
Please come cure my pain

Can’t you see we’re diein’?
Just help and stop your cryin’!

I stopped by to read some more of your poetry today Tumeka. I enjoyed reading it and will be back again another time to read more. Love, Carol

Love the dark piece Tumeka. I have written quite a few, but I have never used the word suicide. Dark poems can be written so differently....:)

Wow! This is great! Welcome to the soup. This sounds a lot like some of the old stuff I wrote
