Everyday I will post a new poem, this one is featured in my new book The Broken Ones
WELCOME TO
MY WORLD
I'm a survivor of a cruel harsh world. I have pulled myself up out of the deepest pits of hell and I am now a published authoress of two poetry books, an honorary member of The National Society of Collegiate Scholars, a mother, and I am currently earning my Bachelor's Degree in Forensic Psychology. Please help me to reach the platforms I need to, to enable victim's of violence to find their voice back!
POEM OF THE DAY
.
“The Broken Ones”
Tormented souls, tortured.
Hostages within a sickened mind.
Endlessly bristled and bashed.
Brambles, thorns, and thickets.
Rasping, chocking, pleading voices.
Ousted, jousted, and jested.
Kyrie!
Erupting emotions, flooding.
Nearly death unto them.
Oily, clammy skin, decaying, empty eyes.
Nestled deep within are their cries,
Eerily howling in agony.
Suffering inexhaustibly in silence; Sincerely, The Broken Ones.
