Drown

Drown

A 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
