The answer
I cannot escape, I am locked in this hell.
These invisible walls my invisible cell.
In turmoil I spin but there is no way out.
My screams fade to whispers, no ears hear me shout.
It's dark here, no faces, just voices so loud,
a chamber of torture in this venomous crowd.
They taunt me I'm "weak", I'm a "victim", I'm "prey".
Like ravenous vultures awaiting their day.
I knew long ago that the demons were real,
that love kept them at bay with it's power to heal.
Now the fire that burned in my belly is gone,
they doused it with vitriol, hatred and scorn.
Left nothing but emptiness, not even pain,
an acceptance I cannot be mended again.
But there! With such clarity, I see a door,
an exit I crave every day, more and more.
All I need do is open it wide
and silence these demons by stepping inside,
such peace, such serenity, all I would know,
it wouldn't be brave or courageous to go.
So tell me the truth, be honest I pray,
Will they call me a coward for choosing this way?

HI Ā Donna Ā A sad write i feel Ā of maybe someone suffering an illness
and choosing to go from this world to the next for peace and no more suffering
Only my interpretationĀ of your poem though.,IĀ think its so well written so much
emotion within it , Best Wishes Ā DebsĀ
You are an insightful lady and thank you for recognising what you were reading. I fortunately use my writing to achieve what I am unable to do in reality. I appreciate your comments and if you fancy a giggle try one of my light hearted ditties.x
Its me again i have just read some of your funny writes Donna lolĀ
really funny so quick witted, IĀ Ā also read some more of your others, and i understandĀ
more of this poem you wrote, now. Writing down how I have felt
Ā has been aĀ great release of anger sadness frustration just about anything
i feel..... Besides that i believe you are a very talented writer and i look

Thanks for taking the time to look at some of my other poems, I truly do appreciate your comments. I love writing the funny stuff but it's a new style for me so still a little unsure. I shall return the compliment and read some of your work too. It will be interesting seeing how you portray your own emotions in your writing, I worry I will misinterpret peoples work so nervous about commenting sometimes in case I insult them or make myself look a twerp! lol. Donna.x
Donna please don`t worry Ā i have broad shoulders lolĀ
I Ā will say i can not write half as good as you :-) Debs x
Ā
Now now, i'll have none of that self deprecation rubbish lol. We all write in our own unique way and that means we can enjoy a massive spectrum of styles and genres. I shall take a look and give you a shout out lol.Donna.x
Hi Donna,
The vultures are always there, to encircle your life, feeling your weakness from pain, and instead of helping, stoke its heartbreaking fires of depression.Ā But that door is not the answer.Ā The real one lies in the door of re-entrance.Ā Reclaiming yourself for you, wresting you out of these demonic grasps, and starting life anew.Ā Very poignant write.
Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Thank you for taking the time to read my poem Larry, I appreciate it. Unfortunately that other door just isn't there and no matter how much I ask, no one seems to be listening. I am invisible.Ā
I have written another poem, my best yet in my opinion, and would would like you to read it if you don't mind? Sounds silly but just knowing it won't go unnoticed will encourage me to put it on.
And hey! Don't panic. I'm not looking for a shoulder or a confidante, just an honest opinion.
Thanks Donna.x
Hi DonnaĀ
looking forward to reading your new write IĀ went to comment onĀ
this one again and realized i already had :-)Ā your poetry is honest andĀ
straight from the heart which i love Ā Debs X
Thanks again Debs. I've just put the new one on.
Unfortunately it didn't save the line spaces so doesn't read nearly as well.x
