you deserve better

Why is your head hung down?

Why’s that glass in your hand?

Don’t believe that feeling inside

Like you’re drowning in the sand

Wipe off those streaming tears

Tell me what you’re thinking

I know that body's full of scars

And I know you feel like sinking

But look me in the eyes for once

Clear your blurry vision from tear

You will see the love, and my heart

Beats only for you can’t you hear?

Weight of the world is too much

To carry on the li’l human shoulder

Let go of the burden it’s not yours

You know it’s making you colder

Put down all those guilt and anger

With that glass you think will help

I know the betrayals still hurt you

And In your mind you’ve built a hell

It’s time to step out of it now

Come take a look at open sky

Feel the freedom in the fresh air

Hey, we deserve it, you and i

Pick up all those pieces off the floor

Of your heart they been stomping on

Glue them and make them a whole

Not anymore this torture can’t go on

Don’t be punished ‘cause you loved

Feel sorry for’em who threw you away

You’re worthy believe in your heart

Forget the pain to believe you’re okay

Remember how you used to smile

Remember how it lit up the room

You deserve better than you got

You can’t see it but I know it’s true

So,In the end I want you to know

You’re the best, you’re the hero

So don’t hold on it’s time to let go

Time will come people will know…

I got a notice that your responded to my review of this poem. It's been a while, and I didn't remember reading this, so I came and read it. I think I would have remembered reading this. I don't believe I've ever seen it and I don't know why I got the notice. But I'm glad I did, and that it led me to read it. This poem touches me personally (and I don't usually enjoy poetry, it's typically so cryptic that I have to work to interpret it for myself). I think this poem would touch a lot of people. It reads smoothly, the ideas voiced in it are clear, the feeling of hope and sorrow for a damaged spirit are familiar and poignantly portrayed. Thank you for sharing.
