I’ve broken the barriers
of my mind,
in an attempt
to understand
what’s been
whisked away from me,
I believed, unfairly.
Leaving me to sip on the
toxins that
burn through
my soul, making
me delirious to reason,
my disgust builds,
my environment
but mush under my
now soaked shoes.
I wish to rip them off,
yet they are the little
of what I have left.
I'm afraid to let go,
so I grip onto them,
unwilling to release,
that of which, is
detrimental to me.

Hold your hand softly,
for no one else will.
Speak to yourself tenderly,
as that’s what you
deserve to hear.
Let not others unhappiness
dwell in your heart,
as your own happiness,
should be the one
to occupy the spot.
The past is already gone,
let it go,
there is a future,
waiting to be caught,
and whether you like it,
or not,
it will shape who you are.
Believe in yourself,
for you are
all you’ve got.
I’m rooting for you,
you’re so incredibly strong,
and I just know ...

These stars don’t shine
The clouds are dark
I’m walking around,
yet my feet are stuck
Someone please tell me
where I’ve gone
My mind makes
static, and my voice
sounds hallow.
What has happened,
what have I done?
These mirrors are breaking
asking what I’ve become.
I have no answer,
I stand before them,
numb.

I suck a sob inside,
inhaling just in time,
before that pitiful cry,
dares to leave my throat,
threatening to expose,
the depth of my weary woes.
My eyes sting,
and my brows scrunch,
a painful smile
making itself known.
How I wish to let
the salty waterfall
cascade, but I must
hold the dam, and take
a deep breath, turning
my head away.
this is not the time,
this is not the day.
Others are not ready
to know my hurt,
to hear my dismay,
so I keep them in,
tears not just...
