My War

My War

I don’t know if you can see,
The pain in which I face,
Every day I try to save,
Myself from running from this place,

As I see the raindrops falling,
They charge at me, with wrath,
I dismiss them, as they are nothing,
Compared to the obstacles in my path,

I feel the sultry sun,
Burning into my skin,
It longs to burn me, but is nothing,
To the burning, I have within,

The raging wind is howling,
Sweeping down the plain,
It batters obstinate trees,
But they feel nothing like my pain,

The sound of sirens echoes,
All through the graceful air,
No noise can be harsher in my mind,
Than the sound of my despair,

I watch the river flowing,
Wildly, without cause,
It is still, compared,
With my sadness which now soars,

The thunder and lightning rumble,
Shout out so loud and clear,
But this is nothing compared,
With the anger that I fear,

The softness of music,
Can’t take away my fears,
It is not so soft,
As my solitary tears,

Vociferous valleys crack,
They echo with voices so loud,
But they do not drown in the noise,
They are strong, and noble and proud,

The dark of night is creeping,
Up on me tonight,
I know the light is fading,
I shall never win this fight,

I cower away once again,
I return and close my door,
No one else shall know of my tears,
This is my war…

    great emotional release

    Hell-o there, tis only eye, blp..very heartbreaking,sad,I am
    crying for I know this rage. I don't know all the buttons to
    push here at AP..so, to answer your question...When I am in rage, I usually don't write in any form, I just let my fingers do my walking...hmm...I could have used a form at TMO's.
    Thank you for your comment on "Life"
