Suffocation

The jolted anger that never bursts
The mind that is crippled by fears,
The agony in the form of tears,
The revenge that in the mind lingers.

The mind which is dipped in tension,
Always depression, depression and depression!
Those unheard cries,
Of falsehood, entanglements, bondage and ties.

Where love is murdered,
And unity surrendered,
Where frankness is shattered,
And aims, ambitions and aspirations plastered.
Life becomes a knife,
Pain, melancholy and bitter tears to wipe,
Life is a marvellous pilgrimage,
It is a mirror and reflects your own image.

So sad that some people live like this when there is help for those who reach out. Love the last two lines in this one--offers a glimmer hope to leave the reader with. Nice job! Thank you for taking time to comment on my poem. Keep on writing! Karen
