Paralyzed Poems

Premium MemberStill Paralyzed

Time wasn't on her side, for if it were, I'd still be alive 
Time caught up to her and strangled her, strangling me 
A hangman's noose wrapped around our necks, 
snapping them like brittle winter twigs 
I breathe, but I died when she died 
When the stool was swept from beneath her feet, 
My whole

In this wilderness
thought direction, no clear path
writers block prevails.

I have the will to conquer the world,
Yet I find I cannot move.
I freeze in thought,
I’m paralyzed,
A motion-
Heavy-
None.

Space Suit

Trapped in my space suit
Tied down to the launching pad
Terrorized by the rocket
Paralyzed to the surface
The cold surface of my skin
Basks in the judgmental sun

Strapped in my race boot
A dyed gown around my chest
A hard place and a rock, it
Seems I stand in perturbance
Fervidness of my kin
Tasks my legs to jump the gun

My chest strains

Paralyzed

The same old feeling, 
Greets me once again,
It’s weight has me stumbling,
It fills me with disdain,
How many times have I felt this pain?

Why won’t I learn these lessons,
No matter what I go through,
I have died so many times,
I thought pain was supposed to purge you,

Why wont this hurt,
Manifest some motivation,
Translate my suffering,
Into my salvation,

Why can’t

Welcome to the circus 
of discrimination-
where soft subtle glances 
and fragrant
touches of femininity 
are burnt in ashes,
through howling rays
from the sinister sun,
triggering wildfire
chaos, 
conquering and controlling
roles of women;
endlessly shape-shifting
from predatory postures
of pretend protectors,
that twist and turn
tangled heartstrings
from a patriarchal pantomime
of their treacherous charade,
obnoxiously oppressing
obscured boundaries,
with their art of arrogance,
placing labels upon
our need for freedom
as sheer

Paralyzed

Obscured by an air of grief
Waves of unending gloom
Followed by a deep sense of dread
The world pours itself down an endless pit of doom

Every word belies itself at it's inception
Torn in two by the speaker
A cantacerous clammering inside, yearning for truth
Every day a another lie, making us stronger yet weaker

One moment a feining of the

Paralyzed

The black clouds filled with thunderous rain, 
Tore through the fields below. 
Grass once covered with colorful blooms,
Now wilted from the murderous pour. 

Lightning flashed from above,
Lighting up the night sky. 
The tears covering her cheeks,
Glistening in the night. 

The wind howled from all around,
Blowing away with the happiness she once held. 
The sea waves

Paralyzed 

This room is not the same after the steel is taken away.
Steel that pierces like a dull ice pick.
When the lights are off elusive shadows haunt 
So elusive they cant be seen.
Why must the torcher continue.?
That's a question that has an answer that yet eludes.
Defining insanity is without a doubt my profession.

No words from my pen.
Want inner peace, and amen.
Plus, God's rules, all ten.

Premium MemberParalyzed Yet I Walk In My Father's Garden-

I am paralyzed
I can't move
Yet I rise I walk
With golden shoes

My beating heart
Starts not stops
I am paralyzed 
Still yet I walk

I walk in heaven
I walk through  paradise 
I walk with  Eagles Wings on my back
I walk though paralyzed 
God carries me
Jesus walks before me

Rise my Daughter 
Rise my Son
Come walk with me

Paralyzed

Moving on was the hardest thing I’ve had to do.
For it’s been too long and I still see home with you.

I can’t no more, move past this place I’ve come,
as I am paralyzed, set in things I’ve done.
But if language was just, not so odd and poor,
perhaps I’d draw the cries that scream on through.
And

Paralyzed

sleep
sleep
sleep
sleep
in the
dark
dark 
dark 
dark
no light 
no sound 
until 
the monsters growl
they wake up when I wake up
they approach me
when my body is asleep
I find their shadows 
they look at me
I open my eyes 
turns out 
I'm still alive
tonight wasn't the night
heart stops racing
I'm going to be all right

Premium MemberToo Paralyzed To Run

Black
silence
wakes me up
spooky feeling
my heart beats eighty miles an hour

who and where I am does not register
hyper hearing
kicking in
fast heart
fear

noise
sudden
startles me
outside door creaks
too paralyzed to run I wait for it
