The Voice of Pain

The Voice of Pain


As each second passes

I feel stabs from a million shattered glasses



I feel like my days are numbered

And every sound of my heart-beat is thundered



I feel like a bird just learning to fly

"The next minute"...I feel like an old man ready to die



My gauge reads:"Empty"

But my assignments are still plenty



Choked with the stress of suppresing my fears,

I sometimes feel like succumbing to tears



Though gagged by the strength of my pride

I'm still haunted by these weaknesses I hide



Listen as my soul screams

For my heart and mind have become rival teams

[Fulani Poet]

I hear you loud and clear! This is hauntingly effective in conveying its message.
