Poem Title:
Poem
I think it’s time to come up with a new rhyme It might take longer but I’ll make the time I’ve been drawn and quartered, I’ve been torn apart By my thoughts, my feelings, and importantly my heart The thoughts inside me haunt me from bottom to top The voices keep me awake and don’t know when to stop I use to use my body for help, but together we failed My thoughts and feelings were challenged and my sanity derailed Happiness is always on my lips and forever on my brain But how can one be happy if their thoughts make them insane The one in the mirror, you can see pools of dread She makes you believe it’s better to be dead I want to shatter her words by breaking the glass into shards She makes me believe pleasure is not in my cards I just want to yell, to cry, to shout, to scream Do you see that I want this nightmare to end and be only a dream I’ll take the pills if they make me stable I’ll tell others my worries, I’ll lay my cards on the table I’m learning to reveal my secrets, my world, what I go through day to day I’m learning to have help to chase all the demons away This is not the end, it’s not goodbye I will soon look in that mirror and see the gleam in her eye
