No Never Again Poem by La Janine Garrett

We say no
Never again
Yet like addicts…
Our voices hold no strength
We scream our pain
Yet like that of the addicts
We pass swearing
That we’ll never be them…
Yet we rage war
Our voices hold child likeness
We say no
Never again
Under going
The same day
That has scarcely pass
Screaming in silence no
Never again
Our voices fading
Yet like addicts…
Yet we rage war
Asking things
The moment you start
Why this…
Why That...
Then one day…
Like the disease it is
The question you been
Dancing abounds…
Why scream…
You look up and see
Them swearing
They’ll never be them
You try to stay quit
Knowing your voice
To be too horse
Knowing that even
If you find some hidden
Strength that in the end
It’s to be the same
Yet still you fight
Screaming no
Never again
