Hurt Poems
Echoes of Dissonance
by Alexander Palmer
Sepia memories fade into an hollow, hurting gap,
I am consumed by the future, I am constrained by my past,
Everything I am is everything I thought I lacked,
And yet my eyes remain downcast, and yet I only feel trapped.
Caught inside the blurred fog of reality and perception,
I loathe who I am, and I am too proud to learn any lesson,
From my action's repercussions, so I stand and I listen,
Claustrophobia and tunnel vision, hand in hand, this dissidence.

Breakdown
by Amie Chapman
.Standing in the darkness
Gazing up at the stars
I feel a tear run down my cheek
As I think about the scars.
Not all visible to the naked eye
Yet they hurt just the same.
Echoing in the silence,
Calling me out by name.
They want to be acknowledged-
To make me wonder why.

An angel in disguise
by Reem Khalaf
She took my hands I was 9
Giving me her other bud
And telling me just listen and enjoy the ride
Close your eyes and let me take you to the moon
She a woman of her words
Putting my feet above the clouds
And pushing me from the moon
Back to earth on my hands and knees
Waving and smiling from the moon back at me
looking up at her with my split temple

I believe
by Abigail Wolf
I believe in something unseen,
I believe in the impossible,
I believe in miracles, that may never happen
I believe I have a fighting chance,
I believe that I can make an impact on this world,
I believe that people need me,
I believe that I deserve happiness,
This is why I do not stop.

Running
by Tash Jane
Do you suffer loneliness at night?
Keep a hold
Are you stirred, shattered and shy?
Don't let it go
Is there any doubt when the hurt, the hurt it does you proud?
Draw circles round the targets,
Look how far you've came.
With bare feet, keep running

I didn't deserve this
by Reem Khalaf
It took me one day
to mourn you
and 3 years
to mourn myself

Time Doesn’t Heal
by Reverie Thoughts
Made myself bleed
From anxiety
Baby don’t you see?
I don’t feel the heat
And I don’t feel seen
This physical fatality
I thought went deeper
But this mountain-
It’s getting
Steeper

Unresolved
by Callie Hayes
Scared of death, scared of life.
Will I ever know peace?
We are fragile things,
and yet, so powerful.
Harm and pain,
caused and received.
With what regard do we do this?
