Perceive Sound
Location
She sits in the corner of her room, with red walls covered around her.
The bloody barrier, remains of pain from the incisions on her arm.
A radio is to her left playing music. The bittersweet symphony of her life,
but she’s trapped in the mind and her thoughts began over powering her.
All I ever wanted was to be heard, she gasped.
For others to see I am more than just a quite girl in a room,
to inspire young women because no one inspired me.
Lighting is in her eyes from defeat,
A thunder storm lingering from the clouds, and
It all falls to the ground with a pure expression upon her face.
She clutches her hair with a hard thrust
and pounds the head with a bald fist.
Pain is in her heart, but all she does is stare at the walls.
Hunted by her memories that she’s ready to release.
To let her words flow into a music tone, no self pity but triumph.
To have everyone dance to the beat because music is the one thing
we don’t tune out but leaves us hesitant and uncertain.
Silence is the disease that keeps on killing, and from across the room
she envisions a casket; for her decease body frozen because of fear.
In a red slick cloth is where her head lays. Her closed eyes are
full of shame because she took her life instead of living it.
With a change of thought, she stands up, and gathers her thoughts in
a mirror reflection of new beginning. She forethought a full room of
eager ears with one and all dancing on her words. Her story has been
told and now she can finally let go.
