This English poetry, ‘The Ladder of Pain’ is dedicated to the millions of women who lose their unborn child to miscarriage. I recognize that no words or language can meaningfully express the state of the women who experience this. ‘Ladder of Pain’ is an attempt to lend some words to the state of being at a hurtful juncture, however only partly so!
Here it goes, English Poetry: The Ladder of Pain
She climbed up a step,
on the ladder of pain
–
she lost a life within, yet unborn,
how could she be sane
–
thoughts engulf and consume her,
she keeps touching her belly, again and again
–
this ladder of pain has infinite steps,
she keeps climbing unable to stop and refrain
–
jump off this ladder without regret,
falling off sometimes is a gain
Note: I have been experimenting with different techniques and styles of writing. This theme of this poem is based on a poetry technique where you can use any object in conjunction with a noun to create a unexpected outcome. Some examples of this are topics like ‘The Candle of Lust’ or ‘Love of Books’ etc.
