Wasting Away

Sometimes you have those moments When you know you should be happy But all you can do is cry Drop to your knees And weep Weep until there are no tears left And your eyes are bloodshot and red Your chest is tight and heavy You weeze a little with every breath And your heart beats so slow and quietly you question that it's beating at all Your ears hear the sounds of the world But only hold onto the sounds of hate, and misery Every breath letting a little bit of your soul That is lying inside of you Half dead, half alive, not knowing what to do with itself Just wasting away, wasting away Sometimes you have those moments

Sad, but beautiful. Believe me when I say, I HAVE BEEN THERE, this poem speaks out to a lot of people. I think its sad when you feel like you just can't take another breath, but you have no choice and the only way to take another step, or get out of bed IS to hold onto that hate and bitterness. Sometimes hate fuels us more than love, and its disappointing. Keep writing and sharing your wonderfully written words...Aleera
