    The Unknown

    The Unknown is a ball of your fears rolling, smashing your dreams, crushing your heart
    Rolling here an there, it's never ending pain
    I reach out for a helping hand but I reach for air
    "Why should I stay?", I shout into the darkness
    It screams back, "Your mine. Your soul has a new master!"
    I shudder, my core cold
    I am scared of your rage
    If you hit me, I will fall, I will brake
    The Unknown smiles and says, "I have all the cares for you my love, you I so hunger."
    I stumble backwards into the pit
    Crawling to get up, I see my fate
    No hope or wishes will be made
    Crying I fall to my knees, looking around at my underworld of shit
    Praying for something to rip me out, tear my skin, dismember my soul from this satire
    Life is sweet so they tell me
    All the memories blinding my eyes
    Trust, true love isn't that the binding parts
    The puzzle lays abandoned, its pieces I can't seem to put together
     I hide in shame
    People see only the show being played
    Just viewing the surface,  my acting mastered, my masks I displayed
    Its foot grinding my soul, I taste blood
    Gritting my teeth and smiling at blank faces
    My balance lost and legs give, the crowd laughs and walks away
    Damaged goods lay on the ground, her petals limp and lifeless
    God may I have the strength to pull myself out, before it drains me whole
    Fear is the face I wear
    Smiling is the face you see
    Fading like the sound of a whisper in your ear
    My fingers numb from untangling knots
    Bound, Tied, enslaved, lost
    Show me a glimpse of light
    Closed off I pine
    Why did I pull the strings and opened that box
    The attic locks away her screams
    Dead bodies always drawl flies

    "The Unknown" speaks with unguarded ferocity toward fragmentation and how we as a society have a face outside of our selves to which we choose to be seen. At some point the gap between that facade and our true self is so vast and convoluted, it engulfs you with a n extraordinary civil decadence.... Nice read....A ten from me

    I was told a artist no matter what style they have, can change her art, showing her talent by the way she can change form. With change there is much room for imagination!!!Thank you so much.. Inspired to write more..Jes

    Whoa, I love how this poem flies in many directions. Takes the reader all over the place. Very interesting read. I wish we didn't have to save ourselves, but who can we count on. Sad....

    I believe that digging down deep and freeing the parts of us..Is what give us the strength to truly live this one life fully. Jes

    Very, very interesting. Anoter side to you, revealed. It seems you have found some real depth within yourself. Feels goood doesn't it? I like the unknown character. Leaves many possibilities open, like it may even be a side to yourself. 10 from me...
