Even though you're gone
Your words still haunt me
Echoing in the back of my mind
Even though you're not here
I hurt more each day
Afraid you'll come back
To make my life another hell
Even though you're not present
I know you're still there
Teasing me of my childish ways
As the tears well up in my eyes
Even though you left
I know you're still here
Making my pillows so soggy
From the rivers of tears I cry
Even though you're gone
And never to return
One thing that's here to stay
Are the scars that you have given me
I'm writing this poem
I'm writing so freely
I'm writing to let loose
All my emotions
I'm writing because I can't think straight
And drawing won't help
Yet somehow, words cure me
Lost in my jungle of thoughts
So disorganized
Like a child's messy room
Stuff scattered like leaves
I'm writing this poem
To free me of me
I'm writing this poem
Because I long to be free
Why do you pick on me?
You call me something nasty everyday
Why do you assault me?
You threw markers at me yesterday
Why do you threaten me?
You wanted to fight after-school
Why do you do these things?
Is it just to be cool
Why do you make fun of me?
Even though it's all lies
Why do you do these things
That make me run home and cry?
Why do you drag me down?
Is it to lift yourself up?
Or do you do these things
Just to act real tough?
Why do you do this?
Oh well, continue
I'm still going to be me ~ <3
The silence of the room holds so much more
Sitting in my empty cell
All alone in my empty cell
Caged like a lion
The more I listen, the crazier I get
It's driving me crazier by the second
The time ticks by, quieter than the silence
And with every passing hour, it gets worse
I now pace back and forth
On the concrete floor
The smell begging for me to calm down
And I try to listen, but I can't
I can only focus on the silence
The silence that fills every corner of my cell
Building up inside my mind
Like a child building with Lego's
Stacking them up one by one until they can no longer each the top
The silence grows louder and louder
Building
I remember that day like the back of my hand
Our friendship was brand new
Like an action figure out of it's plastic little cage
We just started talking
We laughed and joked
We were careless and worry-free
And I thought it would stay like that for as long as I stayed here
Little did I know that was about to change!
Secrets slipped
Like an oil spill, spreading wherever land it's within it's reach
You found out
Along with everyone else
And then, you stopped talking to me
Like an elder sibling, ignoring the younger one because she found her "too annoying"
And now, we don't even manage eye contact!
Like I don't exist
Like I'm miles away. A
The old,dull playground
Once filled with cherished memories
Now withered away
By the pains of yesterday
The swing set that took us
Off to the sky
Now rooted to the ground
Surrounded by rust
And dark like a winter's eve
The playground that we climbed
Filled with tears instead of laughter
Falling apart right off its hinges
Like my emotions form looking at it
The once green grass
Now reduced to a dying gray
As it takes me to the last place to stop
The merry go round
Only merry with you
It fell into a deep depression
After the incident that took your life
I turn to go
Tears ripping in my eyes
But something familiar catches it
That stands out
An Unwanted Child
One cannot express the emotions hidden inside
The thoughts of suicide always cross her mind
Each day she hides the fact that she has cried
For no one must know why she has to hide
She isolates herself from the outside world
Not wanting to get close, in fear of abandonment
But she still waits by the windowsill, all curled,
Hoping, that someone will play Devil’s advocate
Alone, she’s by herself clutching that teddy bear
The one daddy had given her on Christmas Eve
Now she stands, tears falling, screaming how it wasn’t fair
How could he just choose her and up and leave?
Call her “Mom.” He said
