[Hawa Diawara]

ink reaping through their veins

Letters decapitating their heart

words invading their soul

Sentences that leave a hole

Releasing wavering pain

A write written with feelings of despair

A straight hit to the core

A flow of rage in the heart

Untouchable subjects that rots unconditional love

A poem too unconventional for the eyes

Who am I to hide my deepest thoughts

“Freedom of speech”? Lies

Freedom knows no speech

Speech has no freedom

Freedom has no boundaries

People's minds? in the contrary

My poem leaves them with profound scars

They leave me with haunted thoughts

My heart conveys what I want to say

What is a poet, one that only sees gray?

Hurt by one's words?

Amorphous sorrow as if they were stabbed?

The only answer

I’ve been flagged

I think many of us are astonished to find that other people see what we see and react as we do. I am glad I was able to fulfill this poem's destiny!
