The Broken Lullaby

Corruption holds me in it's finest form
Now I bleed right through my very core
And I listen to the silence as it screams my name

Holding onto what's left of the nothing inside me
I hear the voice of someone who I lost long ago
When you're losing all you are, and used to be
Does anything matter to you anymore?

And as you begin to fall asleep
You pray to God that you're not alone
And you hope someone up there can hear you

Then as the pain inside your heart tucks you in
And your suffering whispers sweetly goodnight
You close your eyes and feel the numbness
Then you dream of your broken lullaby

All your life you blamed yourself
Never once knowing who you once were
You forget all you knew, and all you ever wanted.

And as your life begins to slip from your grasp
The angels sing a song of your final return
To rejoice with them forever once more
To end all of your pain and suffering

As your heart finally goes to rest
You open your eyes to whole other world
And you know you're finally, and forever home

Author's Note

This is basically about my life. Everything in my life right now seems as though it's falling apart, and it's at this point where most begin to wish that your life could just end, so you could escape all the hell you're going through. This is not about suicide. It's about God putting you to rest because he can see you're tired of suffering on earth.

'Then as the pain inside your heart tucks you in And your suffering whispers sweetly goodnight' As usual an emotive journey, and a beautiful one, filled with hope and loss and hurt it melts together to create a woven painting of truths that we appreciate because of the love we feel,

Amazing. You have such talent. I'm glad I'm not the only one using pain as a boost to help inspire my writing.

Great piece, what an inspiring way to express the feelings we have all felt at the stage of life you are at right now. Enjoy it, life is only just begining.

[Senseless whatever]

Very good write. The form and flow are excellent. I like the descriptions and feelings portrayed here. At first read it does read like a suicide poem. An added line or word change may remedy that.
Feeling of being alone and lost are normal, its called growing. Part of the process of becoming who we are.

Looking up at profile. You're only 13???
Very mature work for one your age. Hell, very mature work for any age. I hope the pain and suffering get better for you. Writing is a huge help to exorcize some of those feelings for me. Hopefully it can be for you too.

I like how you personified "pain and suffering" giving them human like roles explaining how intense they are for you that they almost are in solid form. It reminds me of a story where a woman does not have a lover and wherever she goes she sees couples and when she goes to bed she writes that loneliness is making her sleep with him again tonight and how much she hates him, reminds me of this piece. amazing job I want to read more of your poems :]

Wow, Lisette. This is amazing. I love this. All of your poems get it to where I can't stop reading it. They are really amazing.

I can totally relate to this, I mean...I used to think I was all alone at night...and praying that someone else was there with me. And all my life, I've blamed myself for the reasons that other people were mad...I thought it was cause of something I had done...but yeah, wonderful mind-thinking and i love the title! We do think alike! Great job!
