Damned

have you ever felt

that you needed to shout

you open your mouth

but nothing comes out

you scream and you scream

but nobody hears

nobody there

soothing your fears

leaving you alone

to cry in the dark

leaving the world

looking empty and stark

mourning the loss

of a peice of yourself

that was dead and dying

put away on a shelf

do you wonder,sometimes

how and when it all began

do you wonder,sometimes

that your forever damned

Powerful

Raw emotion rings loud and clear here. I like this and can relate very closely. I like the title, the beginning and the end. The rhyming as a whole works except the last two lines make the poem falter a little. Maybe because it's tricky to find a word to rhyme with damned. Apart from that- I really enjoyed this - nice work. Kaz x It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

A ringing in my heart

when I read this poem(a voice coming through a cacophony).I read it in my head as a voice above a whisper.The use of questions make the poem relate. Thank you Lacy. In ink, David

Forever damned

This is a raw and pessimistic one indeed Lacy although it is really good. It seems though there is always someone who can hear and heed that soundless cry. Your Prof
