Don't lose hope

Don't lose hope

A Poem by imatotalboss

I said I'm tired of him.
 I'm tired of you.
 I'm tired of waking up nauseated with thoughts of you.
 I've made so many sacrifices, there went my future and there went everything I could ever hope for.
 See it dying and bleeding on my floor? You suck me dry, you char my bones.
 I just f*****g want you to leave me alone.
 This can't be home please go away, Maybe for me it was a mistake to say
" Yes I'm fine I can handle everything Don't worry your head."
Sitting with a bottle of alchohol, gun in your mouth.
You said Maybe someday I'll see it so needless to write, 
Nobody listens to me anyways.
My poems lack heart and sound like a machine.
They used to be filled to the brim with sweet soul.
Now my heart is beaten and old.
I'm so tired and my vision grows dim.
Out of all the people in the world, why'd I fall for him..
Maybe I like pain or the attention or both.
Maybe in my heart I feel I deserve it.
The skeletons in my closet can only hide for so long.
My song no longer has a rythym beat or tune,
lyrics for a song far passed.
Why do I let my heart cry so long,
my tears foaming at the brim.
Like the fair sea twinkling eyes of children born anew.
I'm growing far outgrowing the shoes I once knew.
I'm not a little girl anymore,
I can walk.
I can run, and talk.
The things that will hold me behind are shackles to another slave now
Chains only bind for so long.
Those drugs you fill your veins with.
Those lies and oppression that people called your friends shame you with.
The body you hate and the pain you cause it.
We will carry on and the ships of our lives will fly. 
New winds are coming and We're setting sail.
There's hope for every fallen man, 
If we look close enough for the signs we can find those lights that follow and guide us home.
Like a sweet song that we don't know the name of but know the tune.
Don't you lose hope,
Because life will start again.
Through these things there's lessons to learn,
Even through that bottle of whiskey and the way it felt to burn.
You see fires they clean us and show us what we did wrong,
It burns at the time but in the future it tells us a story.
It's that second chance we all strive for. 
There is hope, 
Yes, great hope.

For line 7, you need to fix the spelling of the word Alcohol. And you should add an appropriate pic for this write as well. It would help.

I like the content. Its powerful.
