Not A Single Word Poem by Alandra Nicole Moreira

Truth inside a soul
Trying to come out
But with no where to go
And no progression
Pain moves slow

It’s like missing a half
But it’s still a part of you
But just a runaway
I cannot explain it.
No words pain will say

It’s like you are being pulled
Pulled towards what you want so much
And yet you’re pushed in the opposite direction
Desperately trying to swim towards the rest of your life
But it is a repelled attraction

A voice I hear it speaks to me
I hear these words all of the time
But the voice no longer speaks
Yet it still has its toll
Though it’s been weeks

It is like your dream come true
As a nightmare
As a darkened tale
And all light trying to escape
Fall to fail

I try to hold on
Not let it show
But it grieves me
And for how long
This way should I be

The piercing truth
May be a lie
But with a mask in front
How am I to tell
What’s there to want

Don’t say anything
Not a single word
Yet actions act
And they seem reaching out
As a deniable fact

I cannot and do not understand
What goes through your mind
And through your head
You reach for dreams
But leave them for dead

Without a trace
Without anything
How was I supposed to know
What am I supposed to think
When you what you want is the opposite of what you show

I can’t continue in a circle
But path a straight line through
I hope one day you shall see
That though I know right now I am where you can’t be
Everything remains the same times three

Maybe I see what is not real
But I do see something
Though I cannot tell what
I hope you do
You’ll find you’re stronger than you felt
