What Happened?

This is about how i used to feel, a hard time in my life.

What happened to the boy in the picture by my window?

What happened to the boy i used to know? 

His laughs have passed and his smiles have gone,

The good times have vanished and the pain has come,

He has been overcome by insecurity,

The walls are closing in and time is counting down,

For him to make a change,

For him to make a change and be happy.

Life is flashing before my eyes,

‘I am okay’ is one of my many lies,

I take all of my feelings and keep them bottled up inside,

Waiting for the moment when i am not afraid to hide,

And i hope that someday i will be strong enough to smile,

I hope that day is coming soon,

Cause i have been waiting a while. 

What happened to the boy who never used to care?

What happened to the boy who would always be there? 

He sits all alone listening to sad songs all day,

Waiting for the moment to come when the pain will go away,

He can’t find a reason for him to be alive,

Now the walls are closing in and time is counting down,

For him to make a change,

For him to make a change and be happy. 

Life is flashing before my eyes,

‘I am okay’ is one of my many lies,

I take all of my feelings and keep them bottled up inside,

Waiting for the moment when i am not afraid to hide,

And i hope that someday i will be strong enough to smile,

I hope that day is coming soon,

Cause i have been waiting a while. 

Nobody can see past me as i hold back each tear,

Nobody can see how much of this life i fear,

They just see the smiles but don’t see the pain,

I walk through life alone again and again and again,

I need to spread my wings and fly away from this galaxy,

I need somebody to whisper in my ear ‘i see what you see,

And everything will be okay cause if you fall i will catch you,

And i will tell you that i love you if you tell me you love me too.’ 

But life is flashing before my eyes,

‘I am okay’ is one of my many lies,

I take all of my feelings and keep them bottled up inside,

Waiting for the moment when i am not afraid to hide,

And i hope that someday i will be strong enough to smile,

I hope that day is coming soon,

Cause i have been waiting a while.

"His laughs have passed and his smiles have gone,

I love this, I'm pretty sure everyone can relate, everyone goes through this phase, I'm in it myself.

Also,
"‘I am okay’ is one of my many lies,

That's something that I'm sure everyone can relate to. I know that you wrote this about your past feelings and experiences, but you made it really relatable. Great job, this is really beautiful.

another phase we all go through and think that we are the only ones to experience it..Very well described an excellent poem about one of lifes lessons

The desperation of life theme is always difficult to master but I commend this effort. The rhyming seems a bit forced at times but the message comes through which is the real goal, after all. I liked it.

Bless you ever so much, I want to wrap you in cotton wool and promise things will be OK in time!
You express your thoughts and feelings beautifully, This had me choked up
The whole time reading it I had one hand on the heart.
The depths of your emotion and how it flows on page is out this world.
Huge fan of yours I am (:
