So I walked to a forest.
Screamed for all to hear,
Only birds fly, fly away.
Get down on my knees.
My deepest soul so full of pain.
As I dig my nails deep into the dirt...
No one hears
No one sees
Just one day,
A child's innocence gone...
Shhhh don't tell.
Build a wall...
Drown in a shower...
Skin red raw...
Sit down on the dry crumbled reddened leaves.
Eyes now dry;
Head hung low in hands so longing to tell her story.
Everyday wondering...
If I look them in the eye can they see this dirty beast?
I don't deserve to be loved.
So that's what you left me that day...

'forrest' should be forest.
get rid of the hyphen between 'no' and 'one'.
they should just be separate.

I agree such a raw and powerful piece. I can sort of relate to this. I could picture you just digging at the dirt, wanting peace. Thanks for entering and good luck.
