Michelle Mcdermin Poet Free verse

Silent Tragedy

The world is shutting me out
and I can barely breathe
A vicious cycle that stabs my heart
I don't understand what goes wrong
I just want to disappear
to make it less painful
to just start my life over
in a whole another world 
I'm screaming inside
and chocking on my tears
but no one sees it

September 28, 2008 at 5:24 PM Unfortunately, many hold in thier pain. The title is fitting for your poem. The first and last line fit well together for a powerful message. How often we are blind to another's hurt. Interesting poem for reflection. Karen

Michael Degenhardt July 31, 2008 at 5:01 AM Yes, the title fits the contents of this write so well, while the meaning of the piece reminds me of my youngers years. You express yourself clearly and so well. Use your writing, as it will help. Michael
