Ice creamA Poem by LJThe title is just a cover. It's not how you normally say it.As a child you been admired of how brilliant you are Teachers praise you and students treat you like a star You've done great in studies and making friends Everyone sees you as a happy child, with no mess Yet when you come home, its nothing All those things are just like oxygen, They're unseen , With no importance at all cause they're given You greet everyone with a hug and smile Still doing great in everything you touch Doing your best to feel fulfilled for awhile Telling yourself everything's great, nonstop Yet when you're at home you're filled with bruises Inside and out, cause it is still not enough Can't understand what you should do to stop this nonsense You're now a teenager, studying and working at the same time Pursuing both your dreams and making an income for all fines Cause you're trying to fill those spaces that are empty You thought this would keep you company Yet no one knows you were kicked out of the house Literally liked a dog with only 3 pairs of underpants n your bag And so you had to find a home penniless and alone As an adult, You're now living a life away from your brutal past Financially Stable with a Job that you're proud Co-workers admire you of how good you are with what you do You help them when they needed you Everything's great and you're doing fine No more bruises in your face, no more expectations declined Just thinking and taking care of yourself What else could you ask for more Yet when you're home... It's still empty, you have no one No one to talk about what's on you're mind When you found someone to talk to. you know for a fact they're not interested That they don't care, that they're just there coz they have to not because they want to
From the beginning it's all been hidden Writing poems and songs could never deny So when will it end? How should it end? Ice cream inside. © 2022 LJFeatured Review
