Radar Poem by andrue finley

Radar



Im always on somebody's radar

A Blimp on the screen used to position me.

The target, enemy, trespassing without even knowing

Oh no!

They're Sending a fleet of verbal bombers towards me.

Need to escape, mayday mayday, they're attacking they're attack, someone rescue me please.

The pressure builds, I'm sinking low, I'm caving in from waters so cold.

The air the air, I need to breath, I need the sun, the warmth it brings.

I'm scared I'm scared, the darkness folds in twos and fours. Diamond edges begin to puncture my skin. I bleed I bleed all over the floor

I'm not the enemy. Why do I need to survive.
Why is it necessary to run and hide

Why must the liquid pain pour out my eyes.

Why do I need to lie all the time.

We are all blimps on a radar so why am I the one to fight

I dont want my heart to feel like a arctic night.

Or live on a island washed away by the storms of my cries

And I Especially don't want to live like I have died.

Now the last bit of air enters my lungs

The blood flow sees the yellow light

My body feels numb

Fading away from the radar.
Truly feeling alone forever

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For me this is how it felt like when I was bullied. I always felt targeted, Feeling like i was truly dying, the crippling depression, not speaking out against it. Let that pain fester really left a hole in my heart.
