Best Sharp End Poems

The maze of life



Rocked by the waves of emotions and reality,
I follow the rhythm far from conformity.
The cry of my soul overwhelmed by sorrow,

dreaming of the sight of a rope tied to a tree. 
I walk to the window and see Bishop flashy as can be.

bread winner, man of the house,
at pit head, down into the deep,
to extract coal like a sucking louse,

Looked  through a soldier’e eyes.
Young people who were,
For various reasons, willing
To sign away years of life
And take the Queens Shilling.

The training’s hard and tough
But it’s not...

Hurt see the signs of rain?
Thunder spoke and nothing fell
The clouds holds it hostage again 
Sable.
Rumble.
Flash.
Bang!!!!
More pain.
Relived when eyes open again.
And again....
It escapes or evades-sometimes like a ghost then recon
It invades.
A little sunshine then more shade.
When will it just rain?
Breath is under arrest
Detained forever in...

I need you to believe me
My feet are giving out right from underneath me
And my tear fall
Are the unspoken words
For the things I only wish that I herd
Broken poetry written with the sharp end of a knife
And I’m dragging myself on my elbows across these...

Why is this so hard when all I want is for you to be gone
