Shield yourself from the visions of violence
Breath in the fresh air-
Before it gets too polluted
Stick your tongue out-
To taste the acid rain drops.

It is burning and itching
A scab that you pick at
Opens up new wounds
And exposes what was once covered up.

Take a shower
To wash away all bad memories
But it is only temporary
Because tonight they will reappear as nightmares.

Sit in the corner
Rock back and forth
Find that comfort of a cage
You remember so well.

Atleast you knew that as long as the closet stayed locked
You stayed out of harms way.
Thank God for that much.

Squeezing your fists so tight
Only sheds more blood on the carpet
Fingernails dig into the flesh
What a beautiful sight.

You know its gotten bad
When it takes pain
To feel anything at all.

You know its gotten bad
When every breath
Is caught because of fear.

You know its gotten bad
When you cry
Just to feel all right.

Acid Rain Drops

Close your eyes-
Shield yourself from the visions of violence
Breath in the fresh air-
Before it gets too polluted
Stick your tongue out-
To taste the acid rain drops.

It is burning and itching
A scab that you pick at
Opens up new wounds
And exposes what was once covered up.

Take a shower
To wash away all bad memories
But it is only temporary
Because tonight they will reappear as nightmares.

Sit in the corner
Rock back and forth
Find that comfort of a cage
You remember so well.

Atleast you knew that as long as the closet stayed locked
You stayed out of harms way.
Thank God for that much.

Squeezing your fists so tight
Only sheds more blood on the carpet
Fingernails dig into the flesh
What a beautiful sight.

You know its gotten bad
When it takes pain
To feel anything at all.

You know its gotten bad
When every breath
Is caught because of fear.

You know its gotten bad
When you cry
Just to feel all right.

Lindsey, wow...this poem is incredible. From the title (which draws the reader in), to the elaborate descriptions and dire images, I was left with a haunted feeling. This is so vivid, so well written...definitely a five star gem from top to bottom.

Truly,
-Dan

O, this is just so sad and well described. You really know how to put cutting images to a feeling only by using words. Great stuff and keep it up!

So sad, cry just to feel all right, yes I know that too. Know also to come here and seek special words from special souls.

Thank you again for saving this one from tears.
