Make It Stop
I’m so tired
Of burning eyes that hold back tears
Of shaking hands that turn to ice
Of hurting hearts that pound my chest
I’m so tired
Of hearing screaming
Of taking blows
Of holding people as they cry
I’m so tired
Of trying to keep the world together as it falls apart
Of not knowing why it is
Of holding on to something that is already gone
I’m so tired
Of hurt
Of pain
Of tears
Just
Make
It
Stop
You Wonder Why
You wonder why
She walked away
Disappearing into the world
Without one look over her shoulder
You wonder why
She felt such hate
And didn’t care
How it hurt you
You wonder why
You were so affected
When it wasn’t you
She erased from her life
You wonder why
She would punish him like that
Because you never understood
What was wrong
Darling, I can show you why
Take a gander at the mirror
And watch what you’re doing
To me
You wonder why
Perfect Poet Award Acceptance!!
Thanks to all the amazing people over at Jingle’s Poetry Rally, I have received the Perfect Poet Award for week 30 of the Poet’s Rally! Thanks so much everyone!
Now, this is NOT AT ALL the kind of poem I wanted to exactly post with this award acceptance, but … it’s what I’ve got. Sorry Ji–I wrote this before I knew I had to accept the award!
Pain
Palms curled tightly
Leaving half-moons on my palms
I focus on the pain
Wait for it to fade
It’s like my count-to-ten
Sometimes it works
But other times it just makes me angrier
At you
At the world
At life
My heart constricts in pulse-stopping pain
I feel the heat burn my checks
All of the sudden
My hand wants to break your face
The horror of that
Is a numbing agent
That works for around two seconds
By then I’m yelling my voice hoarse
Even if it makes no sense because
My GOD
It feels so good to let it out
Even if I can see the whiplash
Slashing all over your face
It’s not about you right now
It’s about me
My pain
My frustration
My life
And hurting you is like a salve
I could go on for hours
Not because I want to but
Because it makes me think
You can begin to understand how I feel
Even though
When it’s all over
All I do is hate myself more
Falling Apart
Fall apart, World
Go ahead
Watch me care
Are you crumble around me
Watch me laugh
At your icy silence
Watch me grow stronger
When you hurt me
What me hold the tears
As you let sorrow rain
Watch me do it all alone
If you take away my friends
Go ahead, World
Watch me fall apart
My Life is a Notebook
