PROTECTION

Contributed by tsw on Tuesday, 9th March 2004 @ 08:32:49 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

I want to cry, but if I do they win
I can feel the emotion well up inside me
you know, how your chin trembles just before you lose it .
but I can't let them win, so I suppress it,
I hold it in ,
I lock it away,
I hide it from them all,
It's buried deep inside me
Surrounded by chain link,
barbed wire,
and field stone
the gate is bolted, padlocked,and chained
and surrounded by Demons and Devil dogs
alike.
It is surrounded for my own protection.....

Someday , the chain will rust,
the fence and stone will fall,
the demons and devil dogs again enslaved
and on that day, I need to be with you,
for on that day
one single solitary tear will burst forth
and on that day, because of you
I can welcome the birth of a new self,
a myself, a whole self which I will finally
be allowed to be... until that day I will remain

CLOSED, GUARDED, AND LOCKED

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
