I know it's been a long time since I posted a poem, and even longer since it's been a CH poem, but I figured it was about time and this one came to me. Hope you like it.

I feel tears press behind my eyes,
mixed in with the pain.
Like a sound wave it rocks me now,
as I try to save myself from shame.
Blown back, almost off my feet,
standing barely on a crumbling ledge.
I wince as a hammer pounds in,
the invisible pain wedge.
Holding on to nothing but air,
I try to find the strength to breathe.
Inside my head, monsters and demons,
viles unknown continue to seethe.
Going down in a fit of flames,
try to hold on for just one more round.
Praying to every goddess and god,
this won't be the one to bring me down.
The tears finally ease up,
letting my bleary, exhausted eye see.
I won this one baby, until next time.
The beast has got nothing on me.

Jailed By Emotion
Words unspoken.
Thoughts I can't even comprehend.
Questions in my frazzled mind.
Thought I was finally on the mend.
Now I'm lost
and so beyond confused.
Your tears fall like rain
but I'm the one that's been abused.
Life will never be the same as it was,
can never go back to how it use to be.
Why? When? How?
How could you do this to me?
You knew what it meant,
and the pain it would cause.
But you gave in to dark desires.
Broke our private laws.
Now I pay the price and feel the pain.
Trapped in this cell,
once known as my body and brain.
And there's no way out.
No one can know,
its only you and me.
I just want things to make sense again,
go back to the way it use to be.
Words are now spoken.
I still can't comprehend.
Questions remain unaswered.
I fear I will never mend.
