Resist the Torment (Poem)

Perfect Soldier · Post by **Perfect Soldier** » Mon Dec 15, 2003 9:15 pm

This is the first poem I've ever braved to actually put on this board, but I feel like I really wanted to express something that a lot of people seem to share. Having someone always there putting you down and making your life hell, this is a poem for people who have someone like that in your life. I hope you like it, here you go...

Resist the Torment

Shattered screams echo the halls
Tears of relentless torment dripping from the walls
Pieces of my heart littered across the floor
I can?t take it anymore

The shrill sound of your yelling ringing in my ears
Shaking my resolve and making me tremble in fear
How many times have we fought this war?
Could have sworn we?ve done this all before?

The familiar pain strikes me again
Sparking a hatred hidden deep within

Slowly it starts to come out
All your prodding and yelling urging it to appear
But I stand alone taking what beatings you give
Not wanting to be like the shallowness you?ve brought out

Trying to stand tall in the midst of it all

Ignoring your abusive names
Standing above your ridiculous claims
I won?t be intimidated and give into fear
After all, I have all I need right here

Myself

As long as I don?t loose who I really am
It doesn?t matter how down trotted I?ve become
How painful your words may be
How hurt I?ve become
If you?ve held on to yourself
You?re better than anyone else

Anyone can put someone down
Give into rage and take it all out
But it takes someone truly remarkable to still stand tall

Even if you?re living in hell
Struggling to get by each and every day
It still doesn?t matter
You?ve hung on till now
Just keep going and don?t doubt yourself

Things will probably stay the same
Everything doesn?t always change
But till that day you can get away
Just keep hanging on till you?ve reached your end

The ultimate failure is letting yourself give in?

This is VERY good, and I'm sure you know that

You really know how to put a lot of emotion and thought into just a few verses. Great job.

Thanks ^^;; I was hesitant to put any of my work up but I'm glad to see people actually enjoy my poetry. It comes as a great relief since I put it up in early Dec and nobody said anything. For me it was a giant clue to not put anything else up, but I'm very glad people liked it. Thank you very much, cherryflavored1R and Lara Winner.

WOW! I am really impressed! This is wonderful, Perfect Soldier, you should really put up more!! Heck, once you've put up one on this board, it's so much easier to keep on posting more and more and more... He-he.

I know what it's like to have someone constantly telling you you're not good enough. Culture Shock knows someone like that too, doesn't she? Thank you for posting this, it's beautiful. Honestly, you should have more confidence in your work!
