Poetry: Despair
by Liam
How often now have I stamped my forehead to the wall
Eyes swollen wet and red
Hands bunched till the knuckles bled
So often now
So often I fall
Not wanting to recall, the shame, my pain the punishment of it all.
In weeping stumble to my knees
Pray, yet all I say, choke out is
Why why why
In despair
In panic
In pain
Nothing nothing nothing
Is the same
Again
My heart breaks
It’s in these cracks,
It’s in the crumbling debris of deceit, of letting go
It happened, it appeared
It flashed alive out of the dark
A beautiful tiny living spark.
