Poem: Hard to Breath

October 26, 2017 By Lori Regnier

 

Hard to Breathe  

Exposed for all the world to see
I am naked on the floor
Ashamed and tainted in and out
and soiled to the core

To state the facts it matters not
for someone to believe
I’ve walked thru death
all on my own
and now its hard breathe

Tortured once by evil ones
That reap their joy from pain
chosen over others for
to one day walk insaneDying once, no maybe twice

my flesh and soul were rotten
It could have been one hundred times
and I’ de still be forgotten

I see them in my dreams at night
and where I once was taken
I cannot understand it all
or why I was forsaken

Are my eyes that empty
and my heart that black
that this was placed before me
and will I never have the chance
for someone to adore me

For now I live eternal pain
and battle scars I’ll hide
and keep my secrets I once knew
forever locked inside

I’ll put a smile upon my face
but when I’m alone I’ll grieve
and remember what was taken once
and why it’s hard to breathe
