Damaged
–
Abuse
Misuse
Bruises
First on my body
Now on my soul
Grief
Without relief
Memories
The past written
In the scars on my heart
Anxiety
Melancholy
Fear
No silver lining
Not for me
Cracks
In my concrete wall
Broken wings
So I’m sure to fall
Damaged
Discouraged
Images
Thoughts overflowing
Mind beyond controlling
Flashbacks
From the past
Again, brutal attacks
Darkness
Sadness
Endlessly
Losing my grip
On reality
Slipping
Fading
Back into Insanity
Trapped inside
Purgatory…

You write very deeply. Each word in your poem lands down heavily it’s weight filling the heart. It’s touching. Awesome!
Thank you very much.
Lots of Love,

Wonderful!! Raw, touching, simple, thought-provoking!!
Thank you so much.
Lots of Love ❤
I love writing that captures true, raw emotion. This poem conveys it perfectly. It’s great how you take pain and turn it into something beautiful in writing. This helps people with similar experiences know that someone else understands and helps people who have never experienced it get a better idea of what it’s like and may help deepen their empathy. ❤ Great work! And writing poetry is a great way to cope with and heal our pain.
Thank you very much.
Yes, writing helps a lot!
And if my writings can touch even one soul and raise some understanding, I am the happiest person in the world. 🙂

I can feel the pain in this poem. I like that it is written in this form; the single word lines capture the essence of the poem perfectly.
Thank you Michelle.
It’s always good to write the pain away.

Wonderfully written! If anyone desires an understanding of what it’s like after a traumatic event; you have explained it with simplicity and clarity. Anyone that reads this will not be able to deny how difficult it is and how much pain it brings to experience something terrible in life or to deal with things like anxiety or depression. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
Thank you so much Robin.
Lots of love
Patty

Good job…. It’s all there…..in few words. I think in this style you are on to what is “now’ in this fast world. In the education field with workshops & in the business world with seminars, the “handouts” (notes handed out at the session), with many worded pages were replaced by “bullets,” a sheet or two with phrases, short & sweet. People were more likely to read these & “get it,” short & to the point.
All you poetry cannot be like this, but this is good for some messages especially in these times in which we live. Phil
Thank you Phil.
I like this style. Sometimes I think that a poem needs more words, but when it doesn’t, I like to write like this.
