Rantings of the Divided Mind, Part III III. there is something i cannot hide you see my soul is black inside burned within scarred without the devil won my faith ran out truth be told we’re never free when guilt has captured all of me the shame that binds enslaves our mind silences the words that scream to be heard we cannot bear to face the truth that deep inside evil resides and understand their motivation to terrorize the inner nation of wounded children lost in time frozen parts misaligned shattered to the very core spinning round again once more my head is splitting the pain unreal no medication will help us feel any relief from the grief that we have caused or all the loss that we have seen in one lifetime wasn’t it better when we were blind? seeing truth is devastating and yet there is no mistaking what they know i must learn to be whole and in turn to help them heal unending pain that spins us round and round again. I KNOW ENOUGH! BUT, I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING! i want to scream and say it’s all just a bad dream why must i learn of each one’s tale in order to remove the veil why can’t i just go along a normal girl among the world why must my mind be so divided amongst itself? and why is silence so elusive? i try to sleep it’s not conducive but when i need to hear the chatter that is when they all scatter i’m tired of trying to keep it all together it feels as though we’ve been through a shredder I HATE KNOWING AND I HATE NOT KNOWING! so much pain so much shame no more living life’s stupid game evil will win at this rate we’re filled with so much vile and hate rage and anger boil inside and kill the peace we seek to find i told you before my soul is black burned within no turning back this has to end somewhere somehow we will have to figure out a way through all the pain and shame anger rage and guilty blame |

I read this poem with interest. The rhyme scheme is simple, well done, the feelings raw and communicative. I have been where you are and there is hope. Trust yourself, trust the process. Keep on writing.One thing that used to work for me is to use extended metaphors. Might help. Good luck!
