How Many Times I Hit the Wall

How can I stop saying these words...
and keep on repeating from where I start.
How can I end singing a love song,
when no words slip from my mouth.
How can I open the door,
if there's no key to find.
How can I tell myself," Go run!"
If  I'm pulling a chain ball on my legs.
How can I wreck his neck,
If his hands are pulling out my hair.
How many times I hit the wall, 
To realize, he's not the only man on Earth!
How can I end this poem,
with a smile on my face.

Wow this is my kind of poem! A vivid poem indeed you have composed here Aiyah. The only way to forget, is to first stop hitting walls of the past, and start to smile. I can tell you that from first hand experience. I've hit my fare share of walls, it only hurt me more and more. I love the way you wrote this poem, straight from the heart and soul. I love it. I enjoy it very much. :) xoxo Love from the Blue Poet.... Chris.
