I Won't Ever Be The Same

Life always lets you know just how weak you are when you need it the least.

Dear Anyone,

I know you are out there..

I need you to listen to me,

Just for a second of your time.

Please don't let life give you a false illusion,

That everything will be ok

And that you're strong and capable.

You are helpless and weak. 

We all are. 

It's human nature to believe otherwise.

Though, that joke is one retold 

One too many times

And was never funny. 

I'm not laughing.

I'm learning.

Just what a horrible place I was born into.

You all move on with life

As if nothing bad ever happens, 

Like everything will always be ok.

Truth is, I am:

Helpless,

Weak,

Sickened, 

Disgusted,

Guilty,

Ashamed,

Alive;

Right now, I don't feel a thing, but

In the morning, this all will fade and 

My eyes will still be opened to all your horror.

I will never be the same.

a beautifull poem,
though change the colour please
it hurts my eyes!

Kath,

Seems there was one hell of an 'Ouch' - cap intended.

Ok is how we measure taking the next breath but not when. I don't know WHICH events affect whom - nor the whens or hows. Lot of thought behind my eyes right now... but not due to your poem - its toward wondering how YOU are.

I can somewhat see a change in perspective for you, and it brings the poem to life. I love it!

this is so raw and true, we live a wonderful lie, life for us is so happy and joy filled in small and tightly measured out doses just enough for us to think this is really living...when we are weak frail and dying.....awesome write...I thank my God for the hope of a real life....BRAVA poetess..

I can feel these emotions tug at you,
Such a deep powerful write. Nicely done!

[K.C. Zbryk]

the feelings that this piece forces on the reader are undenyable and overwhelming leaving the reader in awe of the poem. its dark gritty and full of anger but there is always a point that we feel like this, and you captured tat moment perfectly. but there is always that point where we feel the opposite of this as well and those moments should be remembered as well. Great work
