Bare existence, a poem by Tabatha

poeticsoul85 Poetry, TBT March 20, 2019March 20, 2019 1 Minute

Pick at me to death,

Judge my ever word, every move.

You got me all wrong,

You don’t see who I am.

Misconceptions of every kind,

You stab at me with your eyes.

I cry into a muffled night,

Darkness consumes my heart.

Lying here to die,

For an injustice of your mind.

I’m too stealthy, too quick.

My words cut your conscience

Like a hot blade on ice.

Can’t take these words back,

I never meant to make you cry.

It’s brutal honesty,

In the rawest form.

Now I rot here forever

Caged, naked..

My mind raped and scarcely breathing.

Let me out , let me be me.

You have the damn key.

(C) Tabatha Goughneour 2008

Writing has been a passion of mine since I was a young teenager. It started with just writing about my experiences with nature, and how beautiful the world around me was at that age to writing about heartache and love as I grew older. My experiences both good and bad have shaped me into who I am today and I thought to myself, what if the pain I went through could help someone else get through the same experiences in a way they might not be used to? I stopped writing for many years and felt lost without it, a good friend has inspired me to continue writing and I will take this advice gladly. Onward towards great things.. Enjoy with a cup of hot tea..or coffee if thats What makes you smile. View all posts by poeticsoul85
