Snap & Break

The pain
It builds up
The rage
It shows up
But no one seems to notice
How much longer can I hold this?

My head
It pounds
My thoughts
They're drowned
They are all clueless
How much longer can I do this?
There's only so much  one man can take
Before he just snaps & breaks
So where am I at on this little scale?

It hurts
In my mind
I strain
All the time
Can I push a little harder?
Or am I nearing the border?

I clinge
To the past
It's so hard
To make it last
I fell down a long time ago
And with it went my ego
There's only so much one man can take
Before he just snaps & breaks
So where am I on this little scale?

She lied
To me before
I try
To better a whore
Nothing seems to work
I only make it worse

I snapped
Before the time
I broke
No crime
For some reason the fingers always pointed at me
Did I miss something that you see?
There's only so much  one man can take
Before he just snaps & breaks

This is the first time one of my poems has been released to the public. The reason why I wrote this poem is because since the age of 12 I have not been able to talk due to a freak accident involving something I don't like to talk about. Since then the only way I have been able to express myself has been through writing something down and using my hands. I wrote this poem during an English class when I just moved to a new school and had no way of communicating with anyone. My only true friend throughout the entire 4 years of high school was my english teacher, because she was the only one who understood the power of poetry.< !signature-->

Excellent poem, Chained Angel.  Welcome to Dark Passions.  I tell you, I've snapped in the eyes of Abuse before...there truly is only so much a man can take.  I know what it's like to have all the finger pointed at you too...you're not alone, let me reassure you.  Good job.

ChainedAngel I welcome you to the passions family. I'm new as well but I can honestly tell you, you will feel right at home here and everyone is great!!!!!  I too know what it's like to snap from being abuse. Shutdown and only be able to write to express myself. Time does heal, and with your writings the time will pass quickly. So continue to write and post.  I love this poem. Can't wait to read more.

Welcome to the family!!! This piece I can relate to "how much can one man take" I loved that along with the title snaps and breaks.  Welcome again and I hope to see more.

Thank you for sharing this.  "Snap"ping is a theme that I've explored in my poetry. Though I do not have the same experience to match yours, understanding pain and pressure is a very universal topic you have captured artistically and effectively.  Welcome to the forum and I look forward to enjoying and pondering your work.

I liked the way how you stated the noun and tell how you felt about it

Greetings ChainedAngel,
I am new to here as of this day. I have read a few of the posts here and find that all are grand....this though....this....is absolutally wonderous!!
I have been penning poetry for aprox. 15 years now...words that most others do not pen or do not appriciate, but ones words are sometimes all one has. I have lived true to this. The depths of ones soul is where the true person lives...not the one that most put forthe to others. The depths are what I seek.
I comend you on your sincerity and wonderful expression. I do not see that often ...I do not often see the darker side of any...the pain, longing, dispair, the true emotions. Here I have found much of that and I find that amazing.
I have aprox. 13 poems now published and three more awaiting my signature to be published in a book of the milliniums best...all penned from the darker side of emotions.......
I can not wait to read more of your words.....my best of wishes in your words....

ChainedAngel... this was definatly a piece that I, as others, are very glad you posted. I, also, have nothing to express myself by but my words. Your words are very powerful and heartfelt, and my friend, that is when things come out the best. When you truly know what you are writing, and are able to feel the words as much as a razorblade on your skin. I, too, am looking forward to reading more of your poetry, so indeed, keep 'em coming!!  

 I merely say what's in my heart
and you call it a style.
Don't put it in a cage, don't
mistreat it. You say you're
hungry for knowledge... Here it
is... EAT IT!! -DMX
