This is my first poem after join the online poetry lesson. I had the intention of pasting my previous works first, but I am using a phone and it is a long process. I just penned this down now. I need you to critique this work. The enemy within Here it comes again What it is I know not My never unending companion Always on time Why me? I know not I feel the weight on my back A finger in my mouth Gasping for breath Hoping my mother wakes up Always has she been my saving grace wondering why I am unable to scream the Name The Name that is supposed to break all yokes I think my unwanted companion knows Whenever I try to scream the name The weight on my back gets heavier Seems like I am being punished for what I know not Darkness encompasses my being Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! If the Name doesn't work, I am sure she will surely help But I hear her snore Why is she sleeping at this time? Oh no! I feel life oozing out of me My body is becoming numb I guess my time is come Deeds of my never unending past is rushing back at me like a mighty rushing wind My time is come The battle ended before it began Another number, Just another figure Another bites the dust A young chap died in his sleep Peacefully! Nobody to ask me what I went through The pains and fears Screaming with all my strength Yet no one hears me Just a silent voice Waiting for the end to come Hope I go to a better place I see a bright light Rising out of the horizon Thank God! Even if I died At least I did not miss paradise The light gets brighter I hear voices I guess the angels are here to welcome me The voices gets louder More louder Much more louder Slowly opening my eyes I see my mother with her band of prayer warriors I guess she finally came through I am alive |
