I SAY Poem, by Fumilayo bayo , at My poetic side

I SAY

Timid, I say—

Like a whisper in a world that roars.

I am timid.

Tension, I face—

Like tightropes stretched within my neck.

I am tensed.

Heartbreak, I saw—

Rope of trust cutting deep.

I am heartbroken.

Backstabber, I faced—

A smile that stabbed me from behind.

I have been backstabbed.

Help, I shout—

My soul's reaching out for help.

I need help.

Survival, I say—

Like a flame still burning through the storm.

I have survived.
