The Mind Begs For Mercy

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Oct 24, 2011


Sound pulsing inside my mind,
Noises, images, colours, voices,
Mixed up, twisting, turning, playing on loop,

I beg for quiet, mercy, peace,
But I am met with mocking tones,
Sound amplifies itself louder and louder,

I can't work out the messages,
I can't undo these codes,
Its difficult to find meaning,

Pressure, tension, burning, bubbling
I scream for alleviation from this pain
From these thoughts, these feelings, this shame,

Yet I remain under Siege

    Ohhhhhhhh I loved this! It reminded me of a poem Id write! I like the examples, and the lists, it makes me read it fast and understand it a little bit, then i read it again and understand it more. I really liked this. Your second stanza was awesome :)

    Must say, the structure is alluring. Each sentence progressively deepens the affect this composition has upon readers. The flow is lucid. Speaks alot about the organized mess that is, the author. The word play is certainly amusing yet it does not distract the reader from the poem continuity. Splendid job.

    Wow, that's one hectic mind you've penned there, lol. Good job on the repetition, it enhances the atmosphere of this piece along with its precise use of words. Good job!

    You are my bella girl, lol!

    I liked the play on words, so much, the wording was unique. I felt you were hopeless within these words, trying to describe the way you were feeling yet unable to portray them, and I was like.....oh I can feel this! every part made sense more than the one before it. In brief, this was an epic write.

    Five, and a nomination the next week.
