Acceptance

 





Imprisoned within a cell of animosity
No liberation from transparent iron bars
Shackled with heavy chains of humiliation
Weighed down by cinder blocks of self blame




Tainted by a demon spawned abomination
Demoralized by an injection of infernal shame
Haunted daily by a nightmarish truth kept hidden
Living with unwarranted internal repulsion of self
Being left to believe in unworthiness of amorousness




Laying nightly, terror-stricken by frigid satanic touches
A once innocent mind now riddled with horrific images
Hiding in a fairytale, silently screaming through invisible tears
Befuddled by a supposed affectionate hand spreading its disease




Endlessly relieving ghastly sins while locked in a mental hell
Desperately scrambling through a never ending obscure labyrinth
Barricades crumbling and shattering, frantically rebuilding
Idealistic psychological illusions created for self protection
A fantasy land woven to circumvent a horrendous reality




Tumbling down a spiraling staircase of a diminished past
Buried memories resurface as flash card images of long ago
Irretrievably scratching and clawing at a nonexistent railing
Coming to rest upon the first step of self healing........acceptance

    I'm sorry, this really just wasn't my style. I think if I was more into the darker poetry, I could have more appreciated it.

    Impressive

    its worded very skillfully, so as to include alot with a little. It struck me reading it about halfway into it, the "Supposedly affectionate hand spreading its disease" I got it from there, I had only thought it my imagination before then.

    Its painful that people have to go through it, but you have turned even as horrific a topic as this into a work of beauty.

    Nice, a vocabulary that has more than just quantity this time. The quality of the words you used rings through the whole poem. I found it interesting, your use of of the first two words of each line, they themselves almost make the whole poem. The rest is just shading to create a three-dimensional relationship to the words. Very well-written, a good read indeed.

    There are healed wounds that leave scars remaining. Sometimes these scars can be a blanket to warm others that are in the same position. It sounds as if you've come a long way to rise from this hell.
