To Try Again

To throw something made of glass Against a cold hard brick wall To hear it shatter And watch the pieces fall To start a fire And watch the flames rise So you can hide behind the dark and sadistic It's only a disguise to keep what's hidden inside So that no one can see your fear Or know the pain you hide In this you are sincere Because in no one you confide You shut the world out For fear of getting close to someone new The hurt from your past has filled you with doubt If they can't get in the cant hurt you And that’s what this is really about Once upon a time someone said “I love you too" But then just like all the rest he left you all alone And now you’re angry because you thought his words true And yet now he’s nowhere to be found, good and gone You sit and wait for his return But more days come and more days pass And you my dear have come to learn Even in the darkest days Light can be found In many different ways You just have to pick yourself up off the ground Brush off the past And embrace the new Baby girl you’re stronger than you think you are You just have to believe in you Cuz in the end The hardest task you’ll ever have to endure Is to get back up and try again!

Excellent write, Jennifer. I'm sorry you were used and got hurt and no words can make it better. Just keep writing, use your talent.
