Classroom Wounds Date: Monday, 1st November 2004 @ 08:54:41 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: PoeticVampire An inside of death With an outside of lies A voice rotted by silence And choked by sorrowful cries A heart shrouded by darkness Terrified of being in the light Fearing the sighting of all faults And denial of all rights Cast away by what's social Unsheltered and alone Vulnerable to their abuse Pain searing to the bone They've all now forgotten Their terrible mistake But the demons still remember The life they chose to take With words full of hatred Words bringing pain Words blurring reality Words cancering the brain My helplessness reared anger My shame birthed self-hate There's no way to calm this fury No way to change my fate I will be a horrendous memory Causing them to cringe When they recall the rage that was The freak who got revenge Words are worse than weapons So hold your tongues at yield For, of all the things I'll do in life I'll never truly be healed This poem is Copyright © PoeticVampire Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
