Poetry of a Blind Girl

Emotion

Emotion

I don't want to cry,

But I want to sigh

I don't want tears to stream,

But I want to scream

I feel like a perfect picture in a cracked frame

All I need now is for someone to ignite the flame

The ice will melt

The rain will pelt

Emotions will be felt

Like adding salt to a wound

I feel like I'm doomed

Doomed to stay

With my feelings I play

It's all because of me

That I see

My mind will never be free

When I hold the key

I don't want to be here

Trapped with my fear

My skin the emotions sear

With each unshed tear

I just can't stand it!

Though my mind demands it!

I can't avoid it

But I have to stand it

It gets in my way

At least once a day

And I have no say

They demand to be felt

To my emotions, I knelt

I bowed down

Despite my frown

A five ton crown

Lay upon my head

Though I'd rather lie in bed

And hardly be fed

What I feel hasn't been said

But willt hey ever be?
