A Prick Of Conscience

Rating: 5.0


From the pen of the abused sad child I present this to u

I curse the day I was bored,
A greater curse be this day
That my essence is silenced
And vices encamp this weak clay;
That my soul dances in hell
And my mouth is sealed, to tell.

How would an evil concealed,
Gladdens a pious heart
Or can evil overcome good?
Only in my speechless part.
But NO and NO again
I rather die than harbor still this pain.

I rather die of his cruelty
Than the torments of this malice
And with little temerity,
Confront my fate, as it comes;
But to speak, oh to speak
Is my destruction that I seek.

Depart, thou perilous vice
Captivating my mouth
And pricks my conscience
Not to speak, alas, the truth;
Nay, this concealed evil I bear
Every inhabitant of earth must hear.

Please be proud of this write! A tragic yet common story. Finally these stories are now being heard with people being punished for abusing others. Though this, it still will not take away the pain and the lifelessness lost of so many. Thank you so much. I wish you happiness.
