War

War

I’m so broken I can’t even cry anymore 
I’m ready for you to just walk out that door and not be able to pick myself up off the floor 
There are some days that I can fake it until I don’t have to 
But days like today, they’re the days I have no fucking clue 
How to keep going. How to keep breathing
You see that’s the thing about pain 
No matter how many times I cry out I’m the one who isn’t heard 
When I listen to other people I take in every single word 
The things in my brain will never be observed
How can I keep being your reason 
How am I supposed to talk when no one is listening 
Every single night my tears are glistening 
Why do I always have to be the strong one who gives advice 
Why am I always the one who has to pay that price 
Maybe one day things will be different 
Hopefully it’s a day that’s just as innocent 
When the moon and the stars are just as beautiful as before 
And the deepest parts of me, someone will explore

Being Me

How the hurt pours through these words. I feel every painful syllable.  I think (and this is only my opinion) that when a strong person breaks down, the others do not know what to do or how to cope.  Such a heartbreaking poem to read. If this is what you are experiencing right now, I hope you have friends who are  there for you to talk and to vent to. All the best and 'hugs'  x
