(This poem has absolutley nothing to do with me. I just wrote it because it seemed like a powerful topic and something I could really get into... let me know what y'all think ) The Tears of a Hurting Heart Nobody’s was there When I screamed for help Nobody came When my heart was crying from inside of myself Nobody cared About that five year-old girl Nobody.... Not one person in this God-forsaken world I miss them so, so much I crave like a drug addict for Momma’s cooking and warm hugs I need daddy’s bedtime stories I ache for his special, sweet cookies I cried for weeks Tears would sometimes poor down my blotchy, red cheeks For no reason at all.... It got to the point where I would just fall down on my knees Curl up into a ball, And let the misery consume my forgotten heart Why, oh why God, did you tear my family apart? Nobody bothers to ask me what’s wrong anymore When in the middle of class Tear, after tear, after tear would slide silently down my face Like a never-ending rain pour Nobody bothers anymore To wonder why my breaths come in shallow gasps Like there isn’t enough air for me to breathe.... They act as if I’m the wallpaper Nobody’s there Nobody’s ever here For me My own family Only took me in out of pity I can tell by the way they look at me No one can understand the pain that I feel It’s been two years And the hurt never heals The tears Never, ever stop My heart is surrounded by a permanent, strangling, merciless knot It stays hollow, aching, and empty No one cares about my fears Fears like how much more family I’ll lose to the streets... No one cares about me Always, |
