Senses

Sorrow, despair
Words of hatred, aggressiveness,
Shouting, yelling, 
Crashing, banging.

Sounds, thoughts,
That can be heard by
The senses around the body,
Tears that stream down a cheek.

No other will feel
The way I do,
No other will feel
The pain in a beating heart.

Cheeks, stained
Heart hurt
To trust again
Almost impossible.

Life has never
In the life of 16
Ever been this real
In only the senses of hearing.
