I Will Finally Be Heard

Battered and beaten Verbally used and abused I’m physically shaken  But still I’m the accused Thoughts come and go In and out of conscious  Fatal damage to my soul The attacks was vicious Forever the scars will bleed Fear has planted the seed My heart in terminal need After what I had been done to me My personal prison is here Locked up without chains I speak but no one hears And I stand and scream in pain Seems as if I’m in a void The sounds I hear go nowhere No dammit, I’m not paranoid I just want someone to hear I’ve yelled, begged and screamed But I’m always put down I’ve been chastised and blamed I’m beginning to drown The temper and anger build up Holding it in way too long My voice will be heard loud And I will stand tall and strong But here comes that voice again Putting and pushing me down  I will fight with all the strength I can gain I’m no ones fool, No ones clown   I’ve had enough, my eyes are opened wide The beating stops now, I am free I will no longer take things like that in stride No more hiding, I am going to be me I will no longer feed that ugly fear of mine I will take all the energy away from you It is about time that I truly speak my mind No more words, don’t want to hear no more  no more words from you I will now be heard I will now be heard I know you heard me I will now be heard For the first time in my life I will finally be heard Copyright © 2017 Steven Cetta All Rights Reserved Image Credit: CoolText.com

Stay Strong and move away from anything harmful. Seek justice, and it won't happen again.

Thank you. But this is not about me. It is about someone I care about. A good friend.

Very well expressed. I used to write poetry like that as if I were someone else whose feeling I could almost feel as my own. I haven't written any real poetry for years now. All those emotions dried up, and that was a good thing for me. I can only write poetry when I hurt. Otherwise I can only write silly verse.

Thank you. I did write this for someone else. A woman. I feel bad for her really. She is one loyal woman and also naive. Which is not good. I write poems from time to time. I need to feel it or it will not work. I guess I am an emotional person. But not all the time.

@bagarad Maybe we do. But this poem was felt deep inside me. I felt that I had to write this one.

Thank you. I wrote this about someone else. Not me. And I feel for that person. Life is just a bunch of twists and turns.

Thank you for liking that. I am around. I haven't been on much with the holidays. And I am having a bit of an issue with my girlfriend. I cannot get into it here. That's for sure. But so far I am watching and things seems to be on the up and up. That's about all I can say.

@shaggin That's okay. We all have to go through things in a relationship.

Heartbreaking but I like how the energy sorts of build up gradually until the end of the poem. Very powerful message!

I think the person knows they are special, but I don't think she will ever leave her situation.

People will always try to silence a voice. The loudest voices can still come shrilly over the quiet ones.

You got that right. The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.
