When Your Body Betrays You

When your body betrays you For many years we’ve been as one The mind, body and soul But as of late we’re separate Each one of us damaged and down Betrayed we are by our own selves The mind to process agony The body’s been dealt fierce and vicious harm From a foe invisible yet violent all the same The body has endured the pain The soul has felt it too So deep the hurt the body screams in tears it pours, resolution gone lastly where the soul has fallen begging on bended knee pray the torture go away Dystonia be it’s name

Lorraine Traylor, 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 <-@
