OBSCENE DICHOTOMY

Buy Sheltering Sisters

BY: Mickey Stroda

Voices calling, shrieking at me,
What can I do to appease;
My head full of screams, a heart
full of pain, My body shaking and ill
at the fear.
I can't seem to still them,
I want to be free;
With no end in sight,
the tunnel is dark,
my mind shouts obscenities
only I hear.
seething with hate,
teeming with love,
the dichotomy shredding my soul;
evident pain in my eyes as I stare,
blankly at nothing, yet
everything’s there
