Walk away

The revelation is sudden
It comes as news
I am not the problem
The issue to solve?

Conflicting emotions

I know I've done the right thing by me
So why does it feel so bad?
I know that for my peace of mind
And to keep my sanity strong
I must do what I have done.

Broken

I feel despair cascading through me
Like waves rolling onto the beach
Slow and steady yet ever increasing
Taking over the sandy shore

Camouflage

Camouflage

They ask me how I am.
I smile and reply,
I'm fine.
I hide my pain and sorrow,
I cannot show the truth.
I fear the truth would
Hurt the ones I love.

Rejection - a Haiku

Now I understand
that the fear of rejection
governs my actions.

Citations

I wander lonely as a cloud
oh shit that line's not mine!
Now I must find a way
to cite it in my rhyme.

Solitude

Once I was a lonely girl
Immersed in my own thoughts
I spent my time pondering
The meaning of this life.

Survival

The pain tattoos failure upon my skin
The worry etches years onto my face
The hurt scribes sorrow around my eyes
But still I carry on.

Pain

Pain and sorrow go hand in hand
wandering down the road.
They wander towards the blueness
of depression, numbness and cold.

A chorus of whys...

I wrote this a couple years ago when I was going through a really difficult time and just wanted to know why things were so hard for me...

A chorus of whys...

Why is my heart breaking when I never loved?
Why do I mourn people I have never lost?
Why do I remember things that never happened?
Why do I feel this way when no one did me any wrong?
Why do I hate this life when it's all good?
