I wrote this on the front page of a journal I keep to let out all my anger and such. Hope you like.

My tongue won't move,
shackled and restrained,
to speak of scars
and memories paind.

Rage sears my mind
yet I remain mute,
to battle alone
Reaping my labor's fruit.

My tongue won't move
if I beg it to
because I can't trust
my secrets to you.

Memories that haunt me
in my sleep.
Secrets who scold me
yet I try to keep.

So I wrestle the shadows
and make them submit
while to those around
I don't admit

THe rage repressed
the tears damed up
throbbing scars still
not healed shut

A girl huddles weeping
hurt and alone
a woman rages through
with anger to break stone

Life flows through others
like shikfting sand
but ne're will it be
shed by my hand.

Yet where my tounge is chained
my hands are free
so on these pages
is the darker me.

I really liked it. The use of repeations and a structure really made it flow for me. (I like the tradtion poem) The meaning was dark but it had a story so it made for a emotional read.

Nice

Very nice introduction. It would definitely key the reader in on what they would be finding on the following pages. You kept a pretty steady beat and rhyme through out the poem too.

The rhythm was really good and I loved the repetition. Through-out the piece though I noticed a few spelling errors, but those are easily changed. I also saw a few places where I personally would have added a comma or even a period. You might not have due to artistic choice, but maybe rereading it a couple times could help you find areas where a punctuation mark could be nice.

Overall, very nicely done. I really liked it!

I really like it- really deep. I know what you mean too- I write to let out my anger. I either write a short, sad scene out of nowhere- usually concerning death or a poem about heartbreak, lol. I have many.
