Broken

I panic as she tells me I am not good enough. Breathless, shaken, in this world alone. I demolish my finger nails, biting rapidly, as the pain spirals throughout my body. Yelling, sobbing, a different world. I am transfixed, invisible. Vulnerable, scared of the darkness. For if I close my eyes I might dream of an utopia, a world unknown. I am trapped in an abyss. My thoughts surround me as I rock back and forth, back and forth, for I am being haunted. My world has stopped, and me, the victim. Lord, please help me for this heart of mine has now been corrupted.

Hello :). I'm Sarah as you already know. I am a junior in college and I used to write poetry in high school but I kind of left it behind when I graduated. I am currently taking a poetry workshop class this semester to get back into it. I am looking forward to reading some of your poetry. Thank you for making me feel welcomed :).
