Pounding With Pain

I’m punctured with pain
My heart gasps for air as needles trickle into my skin creating holes in which the world will enter
Its screaming, it's sharp, It can’t stop
I can barely hear the gentle whisper that wishes to escape
Feet pounding the floor fleeing like wildfire 
The burning heat radiates inside
Its stained my eyes as a memory
I have no strength to defend 
No mind to speak
Only a heart to cry

PS, Valerie, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
