Memories Beyond the Door

Now it's flooding back to me
(Somebody close that door!)
I'm fading into misery
That I've already gone through before
Why did I fall, why does it hurt
Why am I scared to simply love?
My heart is shattered, my heart- it hurts
Even praying to God above
I can't run from all these memories
(Somebody close that door!)
I'm dying here, please let me out
My pains are on the floor
Nobody really understands 
and I feel that I'm always alone
Won't somebody pick me up softly
and carry me back to my home?
Silence here, it's killing me, 
But no silence in my head anymore
I understand I'm worthless, so please
Somebody close that door.

Wow I could feel the pain of the person in this piece. Everyone goes through a period when they struggle with getting over a hurdle. I think of myself as an emotion junky loving every emotion I feel love, pain, laughter, sadness. I feel blessed to experience them all. To feel.

great expression from the pain of disappointment we want to shut the door. A difficult conflict to repair

It was really cool how you kept saying, somebody close the door. Gave it the sense of urgency. Nicely done.

Good morning Juli, you are not worthless. this is a very sad poem. No one ever knows the reasons to why we fall. But, i tell you one thing you are never alone. I hope this is only a tough through... and not true emotions... always~ Linda
