One year on

By Lylani

Its an anger so fierce
That no scream could be loud enough
I could shatter your eardrums
But you wouldn't feel even a gimpse of what I do
No
No cut
Nor gouge 
Nor punch
Is hard enough 
Deep enough
Bloody enough
To quench this rage
The indignity
Injustice
Inhumanity of it
Stills me
The white hot venom fills me
I am paralised by it
Coursing through my viens 
Bathing my flesh in acid

A pain so deep
I dare not cry out
For fear even the heavens may fall
Gods become mortal 
In the devils reign
Flames forever lapping at my skin
Heart forced through a seive of razor wire
For this was your gift to me
But I seek no revenge
Nor retribution
So if you see calm
It is because i am stone to you now
Shrouded and defient






I have not forgotten

    Oh wow! The steel indifferance in this really sums up the anger; which really sums up the pain. Not so much like the writes you usually post, but surely worth reading, and reading into. Well done, lady... ^V^

    A superbly stated admonishment and profession of what went before, yet possibly lost in times passed - but then some thing cannot be forgotten, or forgiven. Srongly said, cheers!
