between space and time

I’ve been forgotten   within my own mind,
The traces of me   empty shimmers in time.
I used to cry, cry bloody tears just to sleep,
I used to feel pain   wounds burned too deep!
People said I was normal  no problems they see,
Well if I’m so normal, then why’d this happen to me?
I use to be normal   but when I met you
I transcended    felt better   felt happy and new.
I haven’t been normal    since you broke me down,
I haven’t been happy    since you made me drown.
Six months of forgetting    all that I was,
I understand    but no one else does.
I locked myself in my mind    refusing to be,
I made myself blind    refusing to see.
Spent such a long time, my mind locked up tight,
Secretly silenced     my last will to fight.
You made me afraid   to let people get near,
It was for you    I cried my last tear.

btw-
i wanted to thank everyone for the comments on my other 2 pieces...i really appreciate the nice comments nad i'm glad to be posting on the forum again....

You have an incredible talent for poetry! I am amazed at your work, and how you are able to write such deep poetry. Again, your flow is nicely done here. Your rhyming scheme is done with care, and the last 2 lines in the poem (or was it 4?) really penetrated deep inside. You stayed well on topic with the title, and delivered yet another wonderful piece. Thank you for a most enjoyable read!

I loved those lines. The whole poem was great- but those lines imparticular I REALLY liked. I know exactly what you're talking about here....God I hate feeling like this. You wrote this very well. I think I shall add it to my library as one of those.. "This person wrote me" pieces. hahaha.Thanks for the read.

Oh this was really sad. I thought you did amazing on this one. I really liked those spaces within the formatting of the poem. Thought it was nice. And I loved the flow and ryhme. Nicely done here.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
