Denial

Posted by SundaysChild on February 25, 2010 - 17:13
from the ABC set Is This Really Happening?

Breathless,
I implore you
and your better nature,
to listen
whilst my eyes rewind
like video tapes.
My pain frightens me.
Please. Don't leave me like this.
The light from the sun is dazzling,
it cripples me and I fall.
Childhood winces from within,
threatens to regurgitate.
I reach for your hands
but they are busy
covering me up with denial.

Another powerful poem that says much in few words.

Very powerful and heartfelt. I really enjoyed, I could relate to parts.

Love these lines:
"My pain frightens me.
Please. Don't leave me like this.
The light from the sun is dazzling,
it cripples me and I fall."
