SADNESS

A Poem by samantha

This poem is about how I feel about the things in my life right now. I wrote this poem because I have been dealing with a lot. Pain of rape and neglect, sorrow and hurt, and I feel there's no one to h

Slowly I feel myself breaking,
My knees feel weak; it seems I'm shaking
My arms are tired and my legs feel numb
My mind in a haywire and I want to run

Stress is building, tears still fall
My lonely nights I lay
Staring at these blank walls

Hopeless sleep with no means to an end
Keeping me from the monsters within
Tragic flares and dreams down the drain
The nightmares I have bring me the most pain

Wishing for the truth, but only finding lies
The secrets I try to keep behind
My dull brown eyes

My tears won't stop, I can't keep fighting
I'm losing all hope of ever finding
I don't know who I am, with everything going on
I've lost myself in this midst of a crowd

My heart can't take this never ending pain, with
Every word they say I feel like they drain
My dying, beating heart that has nothing to gain

The stares I receive like I shame them so bad
But the truth is that I only wanted to try,
Try and fight for what I had

Now here I am, with this lonely broken soul
Awaiting my faith in this pitch black hole
