She was Finished
February 26, 2014
All I hear are the shouts of agony
I’m running, running away from all the years of searing pain
But, I stop and halt. Its like all the gravity
has left, and all I now hear is blood pumping through my veins
Images passing through my mind so fast
Tears flowing from my mother’s face, she has no say
All the memories haunting me from my past
And now death is knocking at the door waiting for its pay.
No one stopped to realize
That her wrist were scarred
She would fantasize
of being released from these mental bars.
Too bad the knife didn’t cut deep enough in the skin,
Because then it could have been the last breath she let in.

Very good dark imagingings here! This remined me of my short story, "Beyond the Back Window", if you read you would understand. Thank you for taking the audience into this chilling sonnet!

I.... Wow, I just am amazed I suppose. I often feel like I am the only one suffering these torments of life, but I learned a little while back that I'm not. I really love how your poem gets the meaning across so effortlessly, it's like ....... wonderful. I wish I had your talent! Keep up the great work!
