Poem Title:
Poem
It's 1 am and I'm trying to sleep The stillness of night disturbed by shrieks Noise that I couldn't stand Why must I be so quick to cry? Forgive me again, once more this instance It's hard to live when things are like this I want to cry to someone But I just might be more of a burden It's hard to keep it in Trying to put up a façade is tiring Sometimes I just want to let it all out Is love truly gone & replaced by anger? How petty to hear your reasonings But who am I to judge when I don't know all I don't want to resent you But you're giving me reasons to rethink that I prayed that I might not sin because of it Should I just keep silent or speak? Looks like the former is more appealing But it still breaks my heart I might burst Sometimes I think what would've happened If your regrets didn't happen? Would you truly be happier? Maybe, maybe not. Life has a way of interrupting your joys No wonder others choose death Worry not, I'm not stupid to do that But it seems I might've already died inside. (Strong Emotions Poetry Contest) August 7th. 2022 For STRONG EMOTIONS POETRY CONTEST By: Emile Pinet Emotions chosen: Despair, Love
