You Are......

you are the blood
on BRUISED hands
you are
the taste of REVENGE on the very tip
of my tongue

you are the
GRUDGE I hold and to remember whenever
there's a black sky

you are the sound of the GUN EXPLODING
with rage at Columbine

you are the eyes
of that innocent little girl waiting underneath the table
hoping that he wont
come home with the HEIKIN bottle in hand

you are the DEEP
BLACK SCARS
on my wrist that scream out words of hatred

you are the shattered glass
,
on the already BEATEN DOWN floor,
from that whipping hand about to strike
again and again

you are the words of silence,
on those BLOODY lips,
that he never speaks of because he's
afraid of the consequences

you are the dirt on that DRUGGED
person's lips crying for help
on the inside
but not caring on the outside.

you are VIOLENCE

  2. Your poem is very very very amazing!! The metaphors are amazing, and I love how your line "the words of silence" contradicts, the entire poem is just terrific.
