Power of the Pen Group/Live Event: April 29

@SoulfullyAButterfly

My heart leaps with joy to know

There is a space where I can show

The joy and wonder in my heart,

The vastness and wonder of which we are a part.

She travels the void of sound

Embellished by tranquillity

Labeled the no-sound-bound

Girl of pure serenity

Down the cracks of broken pavements

She floods them with golden grief

And out sprouts an auric lament

Of what she used to be

A doe-eyed angel whom

Pristine and precise

In each and every room

Gave love and gave life

So much so that her own was taken

Drained her pale and broken

She was left lost and confused

When that little girl diffused

But those weeds are then pulled

Forgiven and forgotten

The girl of pure serenity

Crushed the clover that once ruled

The knot in your throat,

wants you to cry.

Eyes burning with tears,

waiting to dry.

Life's easy,

just go with the flow.

When you'll trip and fall,

you never know.

Living on someone else's conditions,

is not what you dreamed of.

But do you even remember,

what you actually dreamed of?

You stand there,

watching the waves crash by.

The life you always wanted to live,

just flashes by.

Your heart feels numb,

you don't understand why.

This failure of a person,

just wants to die.

But wait,

don't give up just yet.

It's just the rain,

the sun hasn't set.

The tear that escaped first,

was tagged as a traitor.

They didn't know,

He was trapped by a dictator.

Greeting with a smile,

I'm fine, thank you.

Looking in the mirror,

Is that really you?

The silver shine wishes

to glide across the blank canvas.

But the direction of the scars,

Needed no compass.

Your heart feels numb,

you don't understand why.

This failure of a person,

just wants to die.

But wait,

don't give up just yet.

It's just the rain,

the sun hasn't set.

I'm so confused,

What am I gonna do?

I have nothing but these dreams

That I want to come true.

Dreams, I see about making them proud

But how, will I find water in this drought?

I think that in the end, everything will be alright

But that's just me, denying the truth before my sight.

I did as they said, I didn't want them to scold

But flames of my life are now getting dimmer and cold.

I wanted to be loved but this torment I did gain

And no one seems to notice my sorrow and this pain.

Very bold of them, they told me not to take stress

But can't they just realize, how painful is this mess?

I thought it would get easier,

When I suffer all the way through.

But see how confused I'm now,

What am I gonna do?

(Trigger Warning: Violence)

Remember the cane

That broke because of your hits?

Which you fixed with tape?

Remember the belt?

Cornering me by the door,

“Lovingly” whipping?

Recall using it

With me on the floor, and your-

Leg pressing my chest?

Remember pinching?

Twisting my skin, blueing it?

Sometimes drawing blood?

Remember the fire?

That you threatened me with, as-

You held me by foot?

Remember the hose

You chased me around with once?

‘Course, gaslight, deny

With torture and tears-

I curse you, for cursing me-

With these memories

I’m left with chest pain

A heart, inconsolable

Raging, resentful

A mind against me

That constantly reminds me

Of fear that once was

Sorrows, unsurpassed

A body frozen in time

A daily nightmare

And this is just a glimpse

You were a green sprout

Grown on a barren soil.

Your roots were so virgorous,

It turns barren soil into fruitful one.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

when I pen down emotions, I'm an artist

when I don't, a survivor

as I sing along with rains, I'm the very muse of an artist.

when you look at me with pride

I'm m an adorned jewel,

waiting, waiting to be deccrated

round the neck of a beloved.

but the beads bound with ectsacy

unfurl with the resistance of time.

now I'm a sphere of polished coat

can't a jewel lose the garnish?

Diamonds make under pressure,

everything has a price,

the pain the struggle says a story

do they want to know mine?

If I'm crushed I'm also a thousand entities

entities of sparkle detached from the ugliness of dark worlds

one here, one above

dawn here, dusk over.

I'm the symbolism of life

I breathe, thru the scars you gave

and thus, I'm created immortal,

~in this universe and so in yours.

Just in English or can be in Spanish.

To the sun:

The sun reflects the sunlight on the earth everyday it shines down on this place, it brings forth light and joy to enjoy. Thank you for such natural positive energy, to grow plants and health to the things near and far. Your presence is with us always and this am grateful for. An odd to the sun, see you in the morning and afternoon until the evening.

Wow I really love the poems that I am reading here.
