Poetry: My pain

by Brittany Welch

I cry for help
But no one hears
These violent sobs
Through muted ears

I give you hints
Through shedded blood
My body as the canvas
But still no one

I don't understand
Why me you can't see
Why have you blocked yourself
From no one but me

Tune everything
Just listen to me
As I go from a whisper
To a deafening scream
