Obscene Thoughts Poem by Jessica A. Kelly

If it seems to obscene
Unheard or unseen
To be set free
Indeed it could be.

Like we
Don’t want to know
So we cover our eyes
And hide our soul
from the truth that burns
Stronger and brighter
Each day.

we turn and try to run
But the paths to long
our breath is too weak
for the syllables we can’t speak
our steps don’t fall
and we stumble in stride
it seems the pain is gone
but still lingers on
The wounds are deep inside
To much to fight
You try to hide
Try to creep
But you lose your sleep.

You toss and turn
No where to go or hide
But you try and try
To numb the voices inside
Keep asking why
Reasons for The choices
already made
Prices you paid
For a moment
Of love or peace.

But in the least it doesn’t cease
To control the beat
Of the drums which
Call you within
To take aside
And make that cry.

The help you yearn
but feel you don’t deserve
The mercy you need
But can’t seem to reach
For a hand to hold
to pull you out
so you lose control…

You can see the way out
But you’re still fightin for the doubt
To leave the game
And change your name
Would that be insane?
Or still cling to the flames
And the danger we reign

On top of it all
Waiting for us to fall,
Shout or call
For a minute we are in it
To lost to admit it
the cost We pay Or steal
Is this all for real?
