Best Poems Written by Jianah Shaddick

Emotions

A muted echo in the bone, 

A world I cannot call my own. 

The breath I take a heavy toll, 

A restless sprit, losing soul. 

 

Not darkness craved 

Nor fading light. 

Just weary limbs, 

That cannot fight. 

The endless climb, 

The endless fall. 

I yearn for nothing, 
Least of all. 

 

This constant thrum, 

This hollow ache. 

To break the shell, 

For goodness’ sake. 

But fear still binds, 

A heavy chain. 

To simply cease, 

And know no pain.
