Sarah Meldrum Poet I do not know?

Broken Hearts and Bleeding Wrists

Broken hearts and bleeding wrists
What the hell happened to that childhood innocence 
Where monsters that lived under the bed
Now lived inside our head,
Keeping us awake at night
Juice became alcohol
And Pepsi shots became tequila shots
Tell me, when did scraped knees 
Become bleeding wrists
And when did we stop believeing 
That tomorrow would be better
How did we become like this, 
Broken and suicidal humans, 
Begging for sickness or disaster
To give an excuse for the way we feel

Beata Agustin May 24, 2024 at 7:30 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Ja Ja October 28, 2017 at 2:17 PM We always ask the question why. But the answer seems to go awry. We can choose to smile or cry. So it's up to us to live and try. Thank you kindly for the thought provoking poem
