Archer of Words
The ones that hide their tears really want them to be seen,
they never really say what they mean.
They want silence so the world can hear them scream
and I'll admit, when my heart cries I wipe it on my sleeve
then I pray to the trees, and get the answers in my dreams.
The only ones who believe what I see
are my sisters, who wake me from my sleep
when they hear me weep.
And it's obvious I need to find escape from this place
and its hate, so I look inside my brain
and realize, that I'm not safe--not the same,
as before I got fame, from people who pretend to know my name
but the only ones that do, are the ones who know my shame
and I'm sick of them pretending it's a game,
my words can shoot you down without even taking aim.

Enjoyed the read .....welcome..... Smiles
Thank you!!
cool write, Alisha, seems a bit confrontational in tone, and yes 'words' can be used to 'shoot' down as well as build up, you poem is very good, stays with you after reading, that is a good sign...hope to hear much more from you, and welcome
Ahh yes it is confrontational indeed, as I intended for it to sound. I see it as a style, like spices in a recipe. Words are my weapon as well as my shield, and if you follow my work as I post more, you'll see that my style is very metaphorical. And thank you, much obliged!
Words are really all we have, are they not?!
Words are the things we use to fill the spaces between us. If used honestly, they can build bridges. More often than not...we use them to build walls.
But word archery is also a fine choice. As long as you have a quiver of question marks!
By the way ... "...when my heart cries I wipe it on my sleeve" ... Beautiful image! What a magnificent poetic idea!!
Look forward to reading more of your work.
Welcome to the other side of madness.

I see it much in the same way, and yes! A quiver of question marks is quite necessary, to open your mind and expand perspectives. And thank you, you're too kind...In my experience, imagery is a powerful way to capture the attention of readers. Cheers!
