"Breaking Point" by TonyTervin
Storm is over but I can still feel the thunder
Rumbling in my limbs, torso, making my heart race quicker
Ashy clouds in the sky making me feel under
Rattling unsettling thoughts give me a quiver
Unaware what the future holds
Everything seems out of space
Every feeling seems out of place
Nothing but a fuzzy blur of confusion
Air saturated with despondency
Assimilating what little I have in me
HOPE
Trying so hard to breathe a word to someone
To only end up choking in my own disappointments
Drowning in my misery
Grasping for help
Nobody seems to take notice of my cries and shouts
To relieve me of this trouble
Yet again, am in my own bubble
Disoriented,
Broken soul,
Yearning for the sunlight to wound its way in the mangled spirit
Heal the invisible scars
Wearing me down to the core
Wondering what I even live for.
About: Tony is nineteen years old. He takes poetry to be a form of spilling out what's caged inside of your mind and soul for the world to know.
"Over" by Riodejenerio
Numb I sit,
In the water so freezing,
As my lungs are lit,
For air, I'm pleading.
They burn,
They're stinging,
I swear to learn,
As my ears are ringing.
"It's over, no more pain."
About: Riona is twelve years old. She started writing poetry to empty her mind through words that aren't just words, they're magic.
