Hurting Me Poem by Kirsty Richards

Engulfed by the vicious torment all around me
Tied by the chains of emotion that bound me
The darkness surrounds me and scorns me and mocks me
The shrieking of silence pushes and knocks me

I am defeated, the lord shows no mercy
Allowing the anger to beat me and curse me
My only escape, the key to release me
A cutting so cruel but redeeming, it frees me

The poisonous hate of my life trickles from me
Blood carries off this disease put upon me
The afflictions I make will forever engrave me
A troubled solution but all that can save me
