Analysis of Torture



This agonizing pain is torturing me
I hide it from the world so nobody can see
Deep inside me, wanting out
But I cannot scream or shout

Alone in my room I let the emotions
Pour out like a raging ocean
Screaming into my pillow so no one can hear
My anger, my despair, my loneliness and fear

Then I act OK again
My emotions blow away in the wind
Again, I'm just an average girl
Alone in this dark sadistic world

Jazmyn

I'm a 12 year old from the ghetto. Education is important to me, unlike most people I know, which makes me an easy target for bullies. I write poems but I also write raps. I'm not like every other poet. I'm sarcastic, sassy, and fun. Or sometimes I'm super-depressing. People need to just get used to the fact that I'm unique, and I'm not going to change just to make others happy.Haters= Motivaters :) more…
