Hold it together
across change’s corridor
is its my pulse
or laughter grating between your teeth?
you’ve undressed me
what I retain of this horror
with your eyes
your mind
I’m incomplete
A barrage of feelings
assault my senses
heart barricades
streaming tears fall
my mind must now
tear down offences
looking back
I see past it all
My senses strive
to shut out the feeling
on my knees
I realize too much
I grab my stomach
it’s already reeling
my nerves
repelling all touch
I take a deep breath
and I wont break
I look straight
past clouded eyes
no longer take blame
for your failings
take what you want
and you fail
as you fall
Sustainability

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

There is a lot of bad feeling in your poem.

A strong sense of being assaulted and darkness is in this poem…a disturbing verse.

Rape is never, can never be a woman’s fault. Wonderfully written!

My response is admiration at the narrator’s spirit rising in response, as a triumph…….”I wont break……no longer take blame”. Bravo!

This is such a dark and harrowing poem. It is written very well, but I don’t think any of us wants to be in that person’s shoes. Sounds like a nightmare he or she is going through.
