My Heart Lets Me Live

Deep down in the heart, you destroyed me

I had no reason to live.

I always thought of dying

But forgot you’ve already killed me from the inside.

My tears that fell were innumerable,

I couldn't really stop them

Or else my smile would be killed.

I wanted to breathe

But there was no air with me.

I wanted to jump, I wanted to climb,

But I couldn’t,

Because every time you criticized

But I have to live,

 not for avenging you or to stop my tears.

It’s the motivation to my dreams

That stops my downfall and makes me alive

Everyone gets caught in cycles and it is painful to change. With this poem I feel the change of strength and power returning and the freedom that comes with it.

Beautiful ideas here.

Quite intense with an interesting title. You have a unique ending which provided some light to a very self consuming message.
Nicely done!
