old poetry

Just another pain-filled sorrow.

There's a pain inside
Gasping and grabbing at her chest
Trying to find hope
Dangling on a string so high above

To the world she looks so happy
Looking so free
But deep inside she's hurting,
Feeling pain the world can't see.
Behind her lays a crumbling world;
A past that she wants to be long gone
Loved ones leave and the day grows long
And as much as she tries,
She just can't move on.

She feels like she's falling
Blending into the abyss..
Pain is a drowning tidal wave
Where swimming has not been taught
It sounds so cliche
But her tears fall like afternoon rain

Broken hearts and fainting pain
Come from more than boys and breaking up

She should know - her heart has been shattered into a million pieces a million times.
Her hope has been dashed against the rocks - again and again.
She has been left alone - time and time again.

She says those harsh words don't hurt.
She repeats that silly saying
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"

She's a good liar.

lost

No one knows me anymore
I'm not even sure if I know myself.

I built up dark, towering walls
Not to keep all of these dear people out
But to see who cared enough to tear them down.

No one cared.

Now I'm lost and wandering in these walls.
Life is like a dreary fog; so full of gray.

The vividness of my mistakes dances on the barriers
Covering the greatness, destroying the good.

Running through knee-deep sand
Dark forests closing in
Shattered pieces on the ground.
Left alone with no one to care

Where do I go from here?
