a poem to express feelings- a coping strategy

MY LIFE

Another day has gone
my mind keeps holding on
memeories of yesterday haunts me
but im trying not to let them defeat me
I struggle to live
yet I still continue to give

black are my wings
seared from a range of things
produce a fake smile
but is it worth while?

Fear of you and me
fear of others
thats invisible to see
now how can that be


im a lost soul
travelling but nowhere to go
lost with too mnay thoughts
too many that haunts

I cant pretend im ok anymore
I cant fake it, just shut that door
im hopeles, helpless and im scared ill never get better
my pain is killing me
I wish I could just be set free

locked in a prison with no escape
where my weary soul will reside
theres nothing left inside
the fate of my soul is long gone
for I have done too much wrong

the walls close me in
my pain sings
sings so loud but no one can hear

ive lsot my friends
what have I done
ive lost my family
where have I gone wrong
her voice got quieter
the nights got longer
fading away, just trudging through the day

this pain, this physical and emotional pain
theres nothing else I seem to gain
except this stupid stupid pain

ive fallen apart, im barely breathing
how can this heart keep beating
when theres no healing
a loneley girl with vacant stares
screaming inside but no one cares
my tears roll down but I cant make a sound
lonley am I in so many ways
lonley are the nights
loneley are the days

she sits alone
alone at home
where the screams are silent
but the mind is violent
her insecurities hid deepeningand they did indeed eat her alive

her face says happy
but her eyes say pain
thats just how it goes again

im glad you understand

even when my soul is weak
thank you for the kindness in everything you do

thank you for showing just that slightest bit of light
its a true gift and means a lot to me

you catch me when I fall
you bring me much joy
and just for being my friend is all

Smiling on the outside
but shes fine right?
A silent tear runs from her eye
but she just wishes to fly high
if you could only see
then you might know how it feels to be me
her heart is beating but its dead
shes lost inside her head

I am far from ok

Re: a poem to express feelings- a coping strategy

She has a shadow
it follows her around everyday
it haunts her in her sleep
it haunts her in every way
darkness fills her heart, it fills her soul
the darkness swollows her whole
it creeps into her eyes
but she will tell you shes fine
behind the smile there are tears
inside her heart there hold many fears
in her eyes the darkness sits there
theres no strength left, only despair
if you listen closley, you will hear pain
and right now shes struggling to stay sane
