I Will Finally Be Heard

Battered and beaten
Verbally used and abused
I’m physically shaken
But still I’m the accused
Thoughts come and go
In and out of conscious
Fatal damage to my soul
The attacks was vicious
Forever the scars will bleed
Fear has planted the seed
My heart in terminal need
After what I had been done to me
My personal prison is here
Locked up without chains
I speak but no one hears
And I stand and scream in pain
Seems as if I’m in a void
The sounds I hear go nowhere
No dammit, I’m not paranoid
I just want someone to hear
I’ve yelled, begged and screamed
But I’m always put down
I’ve been chastised and blamed
I’m beginning to drown
The temper and anger build up
Holding it in way too long
My voice will be heard loud
And I will stand tall and strong
But here comes that voice again
Putting and pushing me down
I will fight with all the strength I can gain
I’m no ones fool, No ones clown
I’ve had enough, my eyes are opened wide
The beating stops now, I am free
I will no longer take things like that in stride
No more hiding, I am going to be me
I will no longer feed that ugly fear of mine
I will take all the energy away from you
It is about time that I truly speak my mind
No more words, don’t want to hear no more
no more words from you
I will now be heard
I will now be heard
I know you heard me
I will now be heard
For the first time in my life
I will finally be heard

Very well expressed. I used to write poetry like that as if I were someone else whose feeling I could almost feel as my own. I haven't written any real poetry for years now. All those emotions dried up, and that was a good thing for me. I can only write poetry when I hurt. Otherwise I can only write silly verse.

Thank you. I did write this for someone else. A woman. I feel bad for her really. She is one loyal woman and also naive. Which is not good. I write poems from time to time. I need to feel it or it will not work. I guess I am an emotional person. But not all the time.

Thank you for liking that. I am around. I haven't been on much with the holidays. And I am having a bit of an issue with my girlfriend. I cannot get into it here. That's for sure. But so far I am watching and things seems to be on the up and up. That's about all I can say.

Heartbreaking but I like how the energy sorts of build up gradually until the end of the poem. Very powerful message!

A very thought provoking poem. I hope whoever it is about finally finds that they are a valued person!
