The Torment of Pain
Innocuous laughs; friendly & warmly
Judgmental undertones of hate; persistent mentally
So, I smile and ignore: " just like mother taught"
Fruitless, as they snigger, hinder; advocate my fury; yet the waterfalls dried by drought -
Sandy dunes, timeless space; eternity stuck on replay
One, two, twenty times more - tears of dust; eyes of decay and rust.
Bout after bout, as if I've not already been knocked-out.
Never enough, never stops; life of mistrust!
Alas when bruises clear, the feelings repair, the mental tissues remain smeared - when all is gone... what's left... fear
A mark, engraved, burning searing itching scratching clawing consistently rapidly deep into the thoughts, like a ghost with no remorse, lurking.
Lurking, but never disappearing.
Inside, there is suffering, like a drum tutting
Shaking like a baby's rattle; rattling like a fish hoisted
Severing my windpipe, silencing my speech; a serrated bloodthirsty saw
So I smile some more...
When all I want to do is roar, until I dislocate my jaw.
Cause chaos & confusion, witness me and falter not at my conniving illusions
Hollow like the ocean, bottomless in the depths of my corrosion, lies my voice
The tolls been made; repaying until the end of my day's
Haggard & worn, until my fragile bones crumble to the floor
The repetition of mental pain, the definition of the insane
Looking at my reflection as a canvas, what next will be deformed, what next will be defamed
Taking away every inch of my pride, battering it until I crash to my knees & gradually subside
Life's cruel twists of fate, retribution deprived; eternally late
The weak removed as if a stain, the stronger hailed in virtuous revelatory, showered by gains
Using unjustifiable fear mongering, they grow on others pain
The unfair advantage of unchallenged reigns
As mother said "That's life "
