Lost In the Clouds

Riyah 2022 (Honiara)



Pleasure it what they called it,
Not to care even a single bit,
Tears screamed down my eyes,
Longing for someone to come out of the blues.

Pretending to be good, hiding behind the clouds,
ripping out the inner core shouting blood,
Silently curled up in the darkness,
Hunger for the spirit of openness.

Cold, anxiety creeps in my swiftly,
‘Shush’ flew around my head politely,
The Haunted breath speared my heart,
Words stuck in a cave which felt like I was melting.

Sleepless nights, scared the devil.
Mute as the shadows was watching like an evil,
Revealing the betrayal to the huges waves,
Voices ,lies and I was still lost in the clouds.

About this poem

This poem is generally about my life. How I was abused and didn’t speak up about it.I was 4 year old when it started and it continued up until i was in high school. I want the world to know how i felt. So now i am taking the next step which is to move on after 15 years of trauma and fear.
