life struggles
as fingers round throat
bestows life
yet again
and the body
takes punches
pain pounds flesh
skin grimaces
as
red blotches
of
inevitability
wreak havoc
through
uncontrolled
insensibilities.
tears dry
always

left me with me with horrible visions, then as I scrolled through your reply’s I found the one where you said it was fiction, PHEW! Fiction or not it was very profound, the imagination of a genius!
up against the wall
thrashed bruised bleeding pride intact
whisper I will hear
—-
I shed tears I feel
hurting souls crying mercy
helpless I suffer
—-
if I had the gift
of magic I’d cast a spell
paradise with love
—-
mind blown scattered
all compass points are covered
fiction thrills the mind

It’s a nice flow in the word pacing here. Like tear accelerating as it streams down a cheek…but with a bit of a
“hopeful” rebound.
