DrownA Poem by Jessica O.This is a perfect description of a bad day.I hear them calling, voices of failure
Soothing but harsh, sorrowful but comforting Where did I turn, where did I fail, When did I get marked as an enemy? When did I hear the very last song Given to an angel's son so long ago? When did I decide to say no to serenity, To ignore words of comfort, to turn to hate? The song I've grown to love for many years Drowned out by the world's symphony of failure When did I believe the lie that I, Little Miss Failure, earned that name? When did I throw it all away In exchange for favors and selfishness Which I never asked for in the first place But chose to accept with childish curiosity? When did I start drowning in silence Which preaches hate if you listen carefully? When will I berak through this danger And let myself forget all that ever happened? Oh, Past, you are my enemy, Though I will never forget you... ...I wish I could Since I have so much now I never want to lose But you rb and cheat me Of everything I love Despite everything You never were so dear But always you betray me © 2009 Jessica O. |
