A Break from life

I’m drowning in my tears

I’m hiding from my fears

I want to run away from here

I have no courage anymore

I don’t want to open new doors , afraid of what’s behind

I don’t want to face truths , afraid of what i’ll find

I don’t want to talk anymore , afraid that you won’t understand

I don’t want to fall anymore , afraid that i won’t be able to stand

I just need a break from life and not a life to break

 

there’s too much hurt and hate and harm

and i’m so sick of carrying all this burden

I just want to be fine for one time in my life

i don’t want to feel the burning flames inside

please set me free , let go of my heart

I just need a break from life and not a life to break

 

pain comes from one word

But it needs a thousand one to go

that’s why i write a lot

 

life breaks down

if not life than people

if not people than love

if not  love than words

all they can do is break

but they ignore how to fix

that’s why i need a healing hand

i need someone to understand

i need time

so i will disappear for a little while

to clear up my head and sew my heart

because i need a break from life and not a life to break

The 'rawness' and utter sincerity of pain and anxiety in this piece reminds me of a poet on this site named Darian B. I'd suggest reading his works; you two seem to have very similar styles.

As for this poem in particular, I enjoyed reading it. I felt like you poured your heart into every word. The line "I just need a break from life and not a life to break" was very clever, and sadly, it describes the feelings of many people. Also, I can relate to your point about writing for emotional relief; that's one of the reasons why I began writing poetry. I look forward to reading more from you.

Sometimes, the truth can change the way we fall. I can certainly understand your sorrow in realizing that everything in life is fragile. It's so easy to mess up everything by doing one thing... Life can be a bit cruel, sometimes. But, like you stated in this poem, all we need is time and a healing hand. We need that strength to prowl forward to find our sense of peace. Only then can we understand that "whys". I loved this!

Gosh, I love this piece! I'm not surprised that William suggested reading my stuff, we do have very similar styles. XD I really love the third paragraph and the repeated line, "I just need a break from life and not a life to break" but every single line had so much emotion, it was amazing. I'm glad William suggested that you read my poetry because it allowed me to read yours. This poem is awesome!
