Walking down the lonely street
Remembering my broken dreams
Step by step, I pace on home
Again I am leaving alone

Never forgetting all my crushed hopes
Even I don’t know how I really cope
Beginning to sprint as Tears threaten to fall
I contort my hips to avoid hitting the wall

Unable  to contain
My emotions all this pain
My run becomes a contest against myself
How much more do I have to do this till I am well?

only way to stop my heart from crying out
keep my head from pounding, eliminates any self doubt
words run in lines all through out my mind
“Gotta keep going, gotta keep tryin”

voices of the ones I love, speak to my innermost core
as the wind’s whispering song plays, I can forget before
my feet step down in time to beating of my pulsing veins
all my sorrow flies away on the breeze, there goes that pain

just  flickers of the memories of hurt are all that remain
my eyes no longer glittering wet just as it starts to rain
cascading drops of water as they splatter, speak
"gotta keep going, gotta keep trying, don’t be weak"

out of breath got to stop, coming back all my unease
Maybe its time to finish it, just admit to my defeat
reaching into my pocket, pulling out a silver tipped blade
trying to convince me, that memories of me will fade

and disappear of the face of the earth, BS
voices in my soul sounding loud, a caress
to my confused and ripped heart, I hear disgust and scorn
in the voices, of my disbelief, that I am that forlorn

I know I never could, complete that thought or stare
My fingers open, the knife falls, people would care
I stand up tall for the first time in awhile
Found innocent in a drawn out trial

I begin to race, down the street
Relighting extinguished dreams
  Voices will whisper in my ear not again, no more
Instead I hear the song of the ones I love in through my very core

I walk up distantly familiar steps
Confidence of a girl possessed
by who was her all along
Just needed help to be strong.

Yet another amazing poem by you. I really liked it. Fantastic job. Enchor!! I really liked the stanza:

"I know I never could, complete that thought or stare
My fingers open, the knife falls, people would care
I stand up tall for the first time in awhile
Found innocent in a drawn out trial"

For some reason that really draws me into the emotions running through the poem. Good work, hope to see lots more soon!

This stanza of the poem drew me in.  It relates so much to my own life.  I was struck by it.  Great job!
