Silenced Forever

***I feel that I need to preface this: I do not feel like this at all any more. This is a poem that is based upon the feelings that I had back in early 2018 when I was falling apart and rebuilding myself. Although this poem was written today the emotions are not the ones felt today. I am in a beautiful space in my life. Writing. Loving Myself. Parenting. Independence. Being Me. I do not want any of my readers to worry. I am awesome.****

Thorny tears

Wept upon stone gardens

Briared heart

Woven tight

Against intruders

Fingers grip

Mouth tightens

Scream silenced

Hidden in the shadows

Let not the monsters find me

I have run

I have fled

I have finally escaped

My bleeding past

The wraiths that haunt me

Only to be found once more

Haunting voices

Whispered in my ear

Talons dig

Shearing thorns

Straight to frail heart

Mauling

Tearing

Shredding

I fall

Forever manacled

Chains of rusted iron

Rage

Anguish

Never happiness

Some days

I wish my world would end

Nightmares would fade to concrete gray

Fantasies tattered remains

Float away

Awash in nothingness

Silence

Sweet Silence

Blessed be me.
