When rising to Cloud 9
Something holds me down
Something stronger than gravity
Keeping me away from happiness
Sealing me in the reality
Of this Hell

Yearning to escape
To break the chains
To discover my own happiness
Longing to find myself
To discover contentment

But you harsh words sting
And yet the silence hurts too
Its hard to tell which is worse
But they both hurt me

All the injustice you dare to show
All the anguish you cause
That I must unceasingly endure
But you dont even recall
The injustices that haunt me
That dont even remotely taint your conscience
Because you dont have one...

I loved this poem! I think I have read a couple of your and so far all of them are awsome.

"Cause I can't fix something this complex anymore than I can build a rose"

I know what you mean and it's definitely not a good position to be in. I hope you find your way.

Excellent poem.

"And yet the silence hurts too" <-- I love that line. It's so true! Silence can something that can break you.
Nicely done here. This isn't a healthy situation, though. I hope everything gets better.
Good job.

I liked it. Not your best but I felt it was ok.

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