What does the world and everyone in it expect from me?
TO wake up every morning and open the window to smile at the sun and kiss the heavens for giving me this life?
What if the only thing i see is a closed shutter with shadows consuming me...no way to escape as the darkness consumes my soul as it rips it to pieces.
My mask shatters each and everyday, my mind screaming for me to cry my feelings to those who hurt or anger me.
This mask I have worn for so long...forgetting to take it off at night makes even my dreams hellish to glimpse, making it hard to sleep with my demons so close.
Why does it feel so safe when i am with those who know me so little?
The ones that look into my soul and have me for so long make it harder to keep the heaviness in my chest at ease.
THose who i know smile at me, but when i turn my back just for a second it seems they despise my very existence...whispering words only my heart hears and feels.
Why do people say be yourself and live your life to the fullest onyl to have the world turn on you and feed you the deepest flames of hell into your very being?
Every accusation and insult i take and fight back, but my soul long ago lost the flame that used to burn so brightly.
My heart no longer beats like those who live for the moment, so many scars burned to deep...will they ever heal?

A hug, an apology, comforting words:
"Everything will be okay"
"Im here for you whenever you need me"
"I love you and i hope you know that"
"WHay can't you ever take things seriously? I can't believe you!!"
"you're so pathetic, i hope you know that"
All these sayings so fresh in my mind...what do they mean?
How do people know everything will be okay? How can people say they love you when they want to get rid of you at any time possible?
People have told others that i am so dense when it comes to the real world, i take nothing seriously...but if they really feel that way...do they really know what i am about?
THe pain and frustration of life is in my everyday, a limp embrace or lips that make heinous promises and hard lying eyes find anywhere to look but mine.
FOr now, I'll wait until the rain comes so i can stand under the pure tears of heaven and cry silent tears to wash away my sinds and my pain to face another day with my damn emotions.

I'm standing there with you, waiting on that rain....
this hurts to read. Life is so unfair at times, and emotions, overwhelming. I'm really sorry you are hurting. I'm more sorry, that you have questions, I can't answer.

this is very well written, I really enjoyed it a lot, although it is a dark piece. Hope things start to look better for you soon, and I also agree, life isnt fair.

"Why do people say be yourself and live your life to the fullest only to have the world turn on you and feed you the deepest flames of hell into your very being?"

Those are my favorite lines. It's sad that that is exactly how life really is. This poem was really good. I enjoyed the whole thing, mostly because I felt all of it. I was there, I know how bad it can be. It does eventually get better though. Trust me. The clouds do eventually pass. If you want to talk to someone for advice, or just to spill you're guts without having to face the person, you can email me. I dunno, I doubt you will, but my offer still stands. I've talked up one wall and down another, so yeah...Jen

I hate what I've become to esacpe what I was.
