Huddled in the graveyards of his own mental world, A little boy stands with tears streaming down in rivulets Through the non-existent mask of chains that Hides him from the insanity of the pers’nal threats That he flings at himself with every passing hour Of the icy forlorn night that’s locked away his stars In torturous cages of confinement and pain And tempts him to paint himself in bloody scars. He grips his head in tremb’ling hands, screaming to the sky Words that wrack his hollow shell of a body And force him down on broken knees, “What will it take for you to understand me?!” Answered by the stone dead faces of fam’ly and friends, He pulls himself back onto his feet, Shaking under the weight of all the tension forced Down his throat like pieces of vile rotten meat. Surrounded by the shrieking graves of mem’ries long forgotten And tormented by the remembrances they call for and demand, He clenches shut his tear-filled eyes, and whispers, “Why can’t you understand...?” ------------- Inspired by some of Gracianna's poetry. -Adam "If life is so significant, then why do we die?" |

Im so honored to be the first to respond to the next crooked halos poem. It was breathtaking. I love this series and I love your poetry (even though I could use a smile at some point in time, or a laugh....) You are so wise to see the problems that plague people today, Great Job, and thanks Gracianna for inspiring Adam.... ~LCBS Exeryone makes mistake, learn from them and move on, because tomorrow we'll make more...
