The Red Reality

This pain will not leave
I have it everyday
I cannot escape it
For there is no other way
No one here to guide me
No one here to care
I send the pain below
For my love i cannot share
Shaken by reality
For everything has its glitch
My heart must be repaired
But there's not that big of stitch
Still I cannot escape
For the pain will just continue
Everything is a nightmare
But my heart's still on the menu
I am sinking to the bottom
For my life has no more drive
I feel as if I'm suffocating
I'll never get out of this alive

This is a sad and painful poem. Lots of feeling and depth. There is a sorrow that pulls the reader in and allows them to understand your heart. nice job

There is healing in your writing and sharing with others. This write is sad but it has great flow and rhyme. Peace, Love, and Light be with you. Smiles from Lolita
