Barriers Of Peace Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sadness penetrating barriers of inner peace, confusing, crushing a sense of self into oblivion.
Satisfying no needs or purpose, turning everything into self-sacrificing piety.
Inner piercing, cutting quickly, deftly to the core of being.
All attempts at normalcy are in vain, as memories claim immediate images, blacking out the future.
Total abandonment fills an already empty place inside, while rejection rains continually, solidly, through time.
Wishing to see out windows of life, can see nothing but rain trickling down it's panes.
Washing dirtiness of yesterday, along with today, into pools, gathering loneliness inside, hiding from the rain.
