Poem Title:
Poem
She sits in the corner shielding her face, Looks into the eyes of her own flesh and blood She begs him to stop, Watches as his face turns every shade of red She closes her eyes wanting to be anywhere than where she is right now Flash forward to her waking up, Hearing the sirens, His fist in the wall yet again The firemen push her out of the way Seems like this seems to be on repeat They ask her questions, He glares at her, Daring her to be bold She bites her lip, Another day of forcing the tears Another moment of hiding back the truth As she looks in the eyes of the crimson blade, That will never leave her alone Her mother comes home from work asking about her day She locks herself in her room, Pressing the familiar song that replays her life, Over and over each day Laying awake at night as she hears the scream The familiar sound of the 3 am lamp breaking She rolls over on her music letting the song, Pull her in a world that is much happier than what she is forced to brave Fast forward years later, Her mother finally ending it As she finds her love with her best friend Harsh words exchanged, People and things will never be the same She takes a breath, Finally having the strength to speak, But he will not leave her alone And his face and the memories, Still haunt her dreams each night 3 am and she wakes screaming in sweat He was supposed to care, How he was supposed to be there, But he had another ulterior motive in ploy Years of trying to get help A desperate cry, That the world chose to ignore Life is about trust, It is short, It does not last long So, when you get that moment where you feel alive Hang on to it, Never let go Learn to trust, Above all learn to fly Your so much more than just a face The times you feel like falling flat on your face, I promise will not last forever Do not forget to love yourself, For there is someone out there, That I promise will love you just as much Get past betrayal and learn you're so much stronger than that
