Unexplainable Heart

was there ever a time where u didnt know how to feel?

what words to even say or what feelings to conceal?

emotions u didnt want to hold and the things u say are cold 

some days its not easy to turn the page

thoughts of being trapped in a cage

scared to even move but eager to run

days u sit there wishing it was done

no this mess aint fun

 

sitting there wondering if its easier to speak

clawing to get away but ur feeling so weak

off in a corner with complete devastation

words unspoken with no contemplation

hopes and dreams failing to come true

so many things i still have to go through

before i open my heart to the pain

frozen emotions and a cold soul i blame

is this just a mind game?

 

emotions still trapped and a heart still broken

giving up is an option but not whats spoken

curled up in fetal position on the floor

eyes dried out, puffy and sore

this isnt how i imagined myself to feel inside

but this happy place inside me completely died

i cant seem to find these emotions in me

blinded by confusion i will never see

will i ever know these feelings inside of me??

Hi Taneia. When you find the time please read three of my poems. "Behind the Counter...", "I Need Help", and " What A Ride". Your path is real, but life is full of paths. Be selective in the paths explore and the ones you hold on to.
