She is broken, pain lays deep in her chest.
A build up of the hurt that has helped to destroy her.
She does not weep, although tears hide behind her eyes.
Humanity has destroyed her. Doubting her worth.
She has seen so much anger in her life, so many people breaking down others.
Soulless to their wrong doings, violence and words that have stripped her down.
She aches inside, acid rises through her, welling up, an agony that feels unfixable.
Her gentleness doesn’t understand the lack of empathy of Others, Or why people choose to attack each other.
She wonders where she fits in this world full of human destruction, and if the pain only stops at the end.
Hope keeps her fighting to stay, faith makes her believe people can change.
She prays it will stop and that she may heal, but today she wants to give up.
She is broken.

Cages of Emotions
Fear is a beast An hungry one at that Feasts on the liver first Keeping dreams grounded Never to take flight Sadness comes in to visit in tow With depression Then anger sets in To fight the denials Scaring away all hope and happiness Pains is felt all over As dreams seem to seep away In silence But what are we without them What are vessel without its content What are human without emotions Nothing But mere emptiness A dried husky shaft Yet with emotions, all focus is lost All strategy ridden with flaws All aims at the target is off All thinking is less that straight As we bend under emotional weight We are but cages of wild emotions That would never stay put As Fear joust with reason Anger with calmness Sadness trying to overcome happy states Depression over clouding motivation We humans docile vessels Of emotional party animal Feel the turbulence within As all emotions fights To be the first one out And when they do come out Anger manifest in fury of punches Fear manifest in flight As happiness in tear of joy Making the world a zoo Of emotional experiences Seen in dramatic expression In every single Cage

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
