Turned To Ash

All of the embers have turned to ash And I am deaf to the noise When they speak like shattered glass. Dare to ask where I’ve been. My head hosts rallies for the broken. I’ve got strong bones and eyes of gold That sometimes ache and spill my soul. But look at me, I hide it well. I hide a mind birthed from hell

This is a strong poem, Alexandra. Shows such pain being hidden. I liked its imagery.

I can see you can pack a punch in as little space as possible. . . where, yes, less is more. Nice work and keep it up. John

Very cool. I like the contrast in this, "rallies for the broken" to end with "mind birthed of hell". Quite dark and haunting are your words.
