' Help And Healing' Poem by Shamaria Henry

...you ever try and swallow your sound of cry as the tears roll down your face? It feels like your a zoo animal trapped inside a cage... like the feeling of the gates being slammed in your face. The hurt coming from a base of dysfunction and deconstruction. Times like this I need two 'R's'... reconstruction and reassurance. Being hurt and having pain bottled up inside your heart destroys the potential of a beautiful soul being made. The feelings that I am feeling I try to tame because nobody can hear my pain... sounds of a silent cry and tear drops on my pillow is what I hear, a girl with a damaged soul is what I see, pieces of a broken heart trying to be pieced back together is what I feel and healing is what I desire to touch.
