[hometext] => I am back once again here.. i decided to post the very first poem i have ever written.... it's a long one but i couldn't have said what i needed to in a shorter poem
[bodytext] => It’s late; it’s dark and cold, I’m in a forest being dragged. Somebody’s pulling me by the arms I know I’m hurt I can’t hear no sound but that of my body being dragged. I try to stop it But I get kicked by someone else. I’m immobilized by lack of understanding Anger fills me up “Let me go” I scream But this time my head gets the kick I get limp and everything goes away Into shades of gray... By the time I got my consciousness back I could hear digging and shoveling I look around; I want to scream for help I try but I can’t Fear silences me Fright locks down my vocals cords I try to move, but nothing happens I’m closer to panic now Why wouldn’t I be able to move? Am I dead already or still unconscious? But then a striking question startles me Am I paralyzed? Tears run down my face... Is it fear of being buried alive or is it fear of the unknown? A voice interrupts: “Alright, it's enough” A pause... then a second voice: “Let’s get this done” Am I about to die? I don’t want to let myself think about what awaits me “Stoooooop” I yell, but the yell is only in my head My lips don’t move although I can feel my tongue I squeeze my eyes wide shut thinking it’ll all go away In vain... They throw me in the hole they dug And start filling it up I try to concentrate on my chest I push and something happens A sound... I make a sound, a sound A low hum, “NNnnnnooo” As they hear it One of them pulls out a gun and shoots at me. The bullet penetrates right through my heart Tearing pieces of my skin Blood rushes out and leaks all over... They left me here, lost in all this confusion Stuck in darkness, no sound, no sight, no air Suffering immense pain Pulsing along with my thick heartbeat No one to hear my agony... Waiting to die, knowing that I’m going to die Not just die, but die soon My lungs scream for air Silence befalls me and settles in Scared of taking my last breath Images wander through my head Shadows creeping all over my body Lurking the sides of my prison Diving their nails though my skin Detaching and snatching my flesh I couldn’t scream anymore 'Cause I’ve used what was left in me What if I died? What if this is what death is like? Why this torment...Why me? I think about the day, the great one of them all Where I have to pay life’s price Recapping the goods and bads I’ve done What a horrible death To be buried alive To have to lay in darkness Counting the seconds before my fate With a lost soul destined for hell Fighting to live, yet wishing to die... Sadness surges inside of me I shut my eyes and hold my cries to myself... Then I bawl like there’s no end Surrender losing the battle, Losing the fight [comments] => 2 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 61 [informant] => cursed_witch [notes] => Poem edited for spelling as requested - Moderator_16 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
