Journey

A knife penetrating through My layers of sentinels Mixes the poison With my blood Terrorized, lobotomized I tread the path Scratching the doors No one to open Surrounded by rocks Bound to be crushed Vultures pick up the pieces Spat in disgust Not hard enough Could I become

Hey! I am a stammerer too, all of my life, to the point of being mute. I can only speak with tranquillizers. I have written quite a few poems about it. I also have Tourette's syndrome. We will not be silenced :) Welcome to PoetrySoup.

Hi, Rishabh, It is very courageous to express these feelings...Many years ago, I had a friend who stuttered, and I , myself have had times where I have stuttered, bacause of intense anxiety, and insecurity. That is why I enjoy writing poetry so much- its a way of expressing thoughts, in a way that you are in controlof the words. So allow your words to flow! You have used very intense images, good usage of words..." Terrorized, lobotomized..." (I can relate to that! Visit other poets- comment.
