Wasted time
Years; that's the time
that I've wasted-
Wasted on searching for
something that no one else can
help me find.
The time that I've wasted
is time never replaced-
Almost sickening
Like a slap in the face
From one man to another-
One week to the other,
All I hear is the ticking
Of my souls clock...
From the edge of the razor,
To the scars of the cut,
Damn, how the hell did I
Get myself into this rut?...
My cries and screams
Obviously muted,
Alone in this prison...
So instituted
From a child to a grown woman
Guidance is all that I have truly wanted
Conflicted by my inner demons
Only rescued by my inner strength
Ready to sleep,
Angry to wake
Why do I keep
Making the same mistakes
The time that I've wasted
Is time never replaced
I wish the clock
Would disappear to another place
that I've wasted-
Wasted on searching for
something that no one else can
help me find.

To the scars of the cut,

Guidance is all that I have truly wanted
Conflicted by my inner demons
Only rescued by my inner strength

Angry to wake
Why do I keep
Making the same mistakes
The time that I've wasted
Is time never replaced
I wish the clock
Would disappear to another place

This is my truth, my story, my memories and my life..... I'm searching for something more than pain, or torment.... I long for happiness and acceptance

Thank you so much for your kind words.... I'm begging for advice and searching for directions in my life right now and I have been on my own since I was 13 years old.... I am 36 now... 🤫 But I feel so lost and confused in this thing everyone calls "life".... The more that I believe in someone, the more I suffer and hurt inside.... I keep giving until there's nothing left to give then I am tossed out like a bag of garbage left for someone else to pick through..... I don't know if I am strong enough to keep holding on to the little existence that I have left of myself....

Wow, Viscious! I can tell you put a lot of energy and emotion into this. It's like a clear window into your struggle... Thanks for opening your heart to us ❤️
Let me let you in on a little something.
We are all human. We all have our struggles. There are like 7 billion people on the planet. With that many people, the chances are high that there's someone else out there going through a struggle similar to yours... You're actually not alone, as much as you may feel that way in the inside. I promise! 😊
This is relatable in many ways.
I noticed that you're new here. Hopefully this community will help build your confidence and help you to get out some of those pent up feelings inside...
I like your writing, and I look forward to seeing more of it!
As for the poem, itself, your rhyming structure is good, it flowed well, and it's super expressive. You really did a wonderful job... Thanks for sharing that with us!
P.s. I promise you're not alone as you think! Keep up the great writing, and have your head held high. You're awesome!
