Beautiful Travesty

Beautiful Travesty

A Poem by Riley

A step in the right direction
up, down, back and forth,
side to side.
I only wish to find peace
yet it's the most impossible concept
wake up
grow up
get over it
forget it
it's done 
look to the future
I want to
but why can't I?
I'm trying to, the voice in my head
at every thought of it
screaming
"stop!"
I feel like trash.
I feel like you should just throw me away 
I can't forget things,
so why hoard something so useless?
You're just keeping clutter
you're hoarding things you don't need.
Forget it
get over it
How do you turn trash into treasure?

I liked and understand the words and thoughts in the poetry. It seems we run in circles and can never find proper place. Peace, a word, many of us want to know. Thank you Hannah for sharing the amazing poetry.
