Ronesha McLeod Poems

Listen to my pain
Listen to my screams
listen to my hurt that is caused by these strings
Tightened around each hand and leg
...

The pain i felt is gone now
but in it's wake it's left
scars and numbness
and memories that will not be erased
...

I can not speak
I have lost my voice
It is no where near home anymore
It has run along away from me
...

I have walked alone
since i died inside
I have walked alone
while my life passed me by
...
