POETRY CORNER: SEE THROUGH ME

POETRY CORNER: SEE THROUGH ME

See through me 

They seem oblivious of the spears 
The sword blazing through my heart 
The blood oozing from my cuts
The tears l shed before letting sleep invade 
The gulps of misery l swallow
The  cold and sleepless nights
I wish they knew 

The ocean could swallow me up and they wouldn't see
The thorny bushes welcome me, yet they can't let me in
They see my pain yet can't tame it
They see me tremble yet can't get me a blanket 
The irony of their folly 

I wish they knew
How far off reach the stars have become
How sharp and fierce the winds around me are 
How l lament through the shadows
How my dreams have turned into mockery 
Misery finds solace in my abyss of pain
The great unknown
