Best Poems Written by Wendi Jackson

Stifled Pain

Can't breathe
 
silently suffocating
 
as the guilt devilishly strangles me
 
confusion, distrust, infinite questions
 
swirling around in my head
 
like the numbers in a bingo drum
 
chasing, haunting
 
the thoughts permeate day and night
 
plaguing me in my dreams
 
there is no escape
 
my silent screams echo inside
 
can no one hear?
 
I speak
 
No, not now
 
the pain still remains
 
behind the smile.
