look at a poem

read a poem

you often find happiness

hope and love

you

simple reader

may think this poem is broken

sad instead of happy

but still full of hope and love

still

it is broken

and so am I

As I lay to sleep
I look up at the stars
I think of my heart
and all the things that fill it
the music of the trees
the singing of the birds
the sweet sound of the forest
the whisper of a friends voice
filling me with with joy
I think of the people
who I hold dear
and hum a soft tune
of my past
In case I never wake
I silently thank all those
who truly care
In case I never wake

my silly little heart

soothed and hurt

often enough

by small things

very small things

like music

or you

slowly
waiting
for just the right moment
It’s been building up for days
I need it to explode and release me
all the anger
sadness
I want to let go and scream
I can’t keep it in
let me the hell out of
the cage I call my mind
I growl and scream in frustration
nothing will happen
so frustrated
I can’t even be me
I just want to scream
every curse I know at the whole world
but I can’t

rest
day is done
all is ready
to sleep
moon is high
stars are bright
sleep

I look around slowly

And try to scream

No noise comes through

Insanity of a

Nightmare I cannot escape

It grips me like a doll

And shakes me

Disoriented I look around

I run not knowing what else to do

My feet take me nowhere

Then I open my eyes

My breath slows

And I walk from my bed

Knowing that the nightmare

Can’t be real, even though I know it screams true

her
what has she done to me
all I have is a few ****** shards
she stole my heart
and crushed it

why
what have you done to me
ruined me
why did I deserve this
I was blinded by hope
hope of finding something real
all I have now
is
dead love

If only I could turn the hands of time

The things I would change

The cruel words I said

Did not say

The sweet words I needed to hear

They never came

So now, I move forward

Stepping toward becoming a person who

Others will listen to

A person others will respect

Still, those words will never come

Lay down your head child

Let yourself slip into dreams of innocence

Sleep and know not

The hate and envy

Something I feel and see every day

Sleep haunted with nightmarish truths

So sleep child

Take your fill now

Because it is not forever
