Dedicated to my friend Marisa who I know is going through a hard time. She inspired this poem when I ad nothing else to write about. I hope things turn out alright for you!
The fire in my mind.
My mind is shot.
I'm diving down.
My heart is set to stone.
My mind sent to scatter.
Friends are lost.
Boys are out.
Muscles tense.
Fingers cringe.
Mind is racing.
Heart is balling.
Nothing I can do.
The world is an oyster they say.
Might as well be allergic!
My mind is on overload.
I need to find a garbage.
That's all that ever comes out.
Head full of lies.
Heart broken to pieces.
I want to run wild and free!
Yet my feet are glued to the ground.
A prisoner in my own life I am!
The sky is falling and I'm loosing oxygen.
The buildings are burning.
The children are screaming.
Me I can't move.
I stand in place and take every last hit.
What is there to do?
I can cry my eyes out.
I can squeeze the pain into my soul.
The only thing I can do is bare my pain.
My back is breaking under the pressure.
Every hair on my head is falling off.
Every pore on my body yells.
Every toenail and finger nail is torn off.
The world is coming to an end.
Soon there will be light I know.
The world isn't all covered in snow.
Soon I'll breath.
The fires will be put out.
The screams will turn to laughter.
Everything I hear and everything I see turns to a dream.
This will all be in my past.
A story to tell.
I share my burden with you.
I share it so you too can feel.
Feel what its like to be me.
Feel the pain I see and hear.
So you can be me for just a moment.
As it stands for just a moment.
All I can do is cry out.
Cry to the heavens and hope for a better tomorrow.
deep, heartfelt and strong lines, Hannah
I sometimes share my stuff too and then unpublish it quicksmart Hannah - but then I'm 41! Lol. I like your honesty - your poetry has a strong vein of talent running straight through it and shows you have a good heart. And now I sound all ancient and patronising! Oops! :) kath xxxx
My heart cries out to your friend. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away>" Something to look forward too.
