How can I define to you in a rhyme
My pain, melodically, nurtured by time

How can I make anyone feel what I feel
When all I know are lies, how can I make this real

Let me bring you down with me
As we walk through the fires, tell me what you see

Give me 18 years to destroy your worth
I'll be in your brain til you regret your birth

Let me throw you to the lions blindfolded
Stand your ground, see how long you can hold it

Let me sully all that surrounds you
You'll thank God for the worst you've been through

Only when your life hinges on hiding like I hid
Will you be capable of knowing pain like I did

Profound darkness seeps through this.  The (intangible to all others) grief you've experienced is excellently displayed.  Nicely done.

Very good Poem. Channel whatever you feel in your writing and you will look back years from now and will be surprised how well you have captured your emotions.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.
