As my eyes empty out I can see the view clearly Without the blur of the stinging tears Things are getting harder now And I don’t know how to deal with my fears How can I solve my problem When I’m not even sure it’s there Maybe I’m making too much of this Or maybe I’m making too little of this scare Nothing is as it used to be But maybe it’s better in a sense My world is coming down around me And my troubles haven’t even had the chance to commence I’m young, too young to be like this Too young to feel like giving up But I can’t just say ‘That’s the way it is’ And walk away with an empty cup Is it stubbornness or hope that keeps me alive That keeps me on this wild goose chase For the fears of mine on which others thrive And I shudder whenever I get the taste Is it so much that I’m frightened or that I’m too real The oblivion of childhood is gone And now I’m suceptable to how I feel And I see now that what I knew was wrong People aren’t exactly how they seem And the people who you call family may lie I guess I was just living in a dream Now I lay my head in my arms and cry The reality of my life is crashing down Quicker than the tears that fall from my bloodshot blue eyes And I don’t want to be around When everyone else pulls off their cruel disguise Now I know the truth, and the truth hurts so much That I cannot even begin to put it in words Now I crave some lover’s gentle touch So maybe I can forget the lies I’ve heard Now more than ever I need to find love I need to find someone who understands So I get on my knees and pray to God above To guide me to my love with his strong hand Btw..I'm new here. |

First off... This was an absolutely AMAZING first post! I relate SO much it's scary...It reminded me of my "Lost Crown" poem I recently posted. You expressed yourself perfectly. My fav lines were... "And I don’t want to be around When everyone else pulls off their cruel disguise" This is a write to be extremely proud of. I hope to see you posting more in the near future. |

Thanks. I don't want to sound sappy or anything, but it does mean alot when people say nice things about anything I write. I'm sure you can all relate because you all write from the heart as well. I'm anxious to read all the many great writings on here, if only there were more hours in the day |

Welcome to Passions!! This first post is amazing. I could relate to almost every single line in this piece. I don't know what else to say because you have taken all words right out of mouth so thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be looking out for more of your poetry. ~AF~ Tearless grief bleeds inwardly. |

Welcome to Passions! To ditto what everyone else said, I can really relate to this piece. It is quite hard to enter the real world when you have lived you life in a dream haze of childhood dreams. You have already stated the best solution though (IMO), just go to God and He'll help you through. Thanks for sharing, and I hope to see more of you around here soon!
