Savannah Sullivan Poem
Like cancer, it eats away
Can't push it down, feel the fray.
Heart pounding and racing
Akin, to never endless chasing.
Lack of air, can't catch my breath
Agony that feels so close to death.
Plethora of fuel from every direction
Souls destruction, it's simple intention.
Eroding all else away,
Succeeding, itself all that's left to stay.

Savannah Sullivan Poem
I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Delusions and dreams that make me feel,
Content, peaceful as if they are real.
Reality however, always brings me back in the end,
To hopeless and emptiness, a never-ending trend.
I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Wishing, praying to get lost in the fold,
To stay here, pretend, to never lose that hold.
But life is my own personal demon I can't escape,
No matter how I try sadness is my only fate.
I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Until I wake up and realize its all unreal,
Reality always wins and I will never heal.
The parts of me that have cracked and broken,
My life ensures I will live with them and they will never be stolen.
I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Without it I would lose everything about me,
What I wouldn't give to run off here and flee.
But still I come crashing down,
No matter what, my reality will always bear the crown.
I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
This is no longer my haven and place of peace,
Riddled with nightmares, unimaginable grief.
No longer is there a place to run and hide,
The desire has burned away to even try.

Savannah Sullivan Poem
Thoughts running rampant
Memories chasing through,
Dreary and Lonely
Soul standing alone.
Basking in this solitude
Dreaming of the need,
To be a part of the whole
Seclusion is the paid toll.
Despairing concentrations
Never making sense,
Loneliness abides me
Among the world a mess.
Strength draining through
Hope flowing out,
In a crisis that I call for
Redemption is not found.

Savannah Sullivan Poem
I miss you more than words can say. I wish you were here today. The laughter and fun that
we shared. It can never compare. You were my rock, my dad, my friend and this is one of
the hardest times… knowing you’re so near and yet so far. I want you around to wish you
happy birthday and sing in off key tones. I think about you every day and hold you closely
otherwise I couldn’t make it through today.

Savannah Sullivan Poem
Broken dreams
Full of lies
How it feels here inside
This shattered heart of mine
Shriveled seeds
Never blooming
Continuously feeds
The agonizing fuming
Battered and abused
Incomplete and wholly confused
Terror filled nightmares
Even sewn back up, it tears
Simply unknown, never to grow
Like a river never allowed to flow
Stumbles and falls hitting all the knocks
Like tripping over that bed of uneven rocks
Always alone
Though you would never of known
By the facade shown
How badly the heart, the soul has torn
Eclipsed by shadows
Pretending happiness is on the surface
Like walking through beautiful flower meadows
Showing to your face only what is in front of the curtains

Savannah Sullivan Poem
Tiresome trivial circumstances
Never ending failures
On far off decided chances
Treat life as a purgatory
When will favors be sent my way
An opportunity
An immeasurable means
Out of this deteriorating abyss
This perdition of myself
Condemnation of body, mind, life
Endless abandonment
No savior in line of sight
Tramples hopes and expectations
Knowingly participating
In a life of agonizing suffering
No future for everlasting nirvana

Savannah Sullivan Poem
Life’s encompassing goal
Seeks to make the soul a whole,
In a hope to regain
What is its true frame,
Created as one
Torn apart to almost none,
It dies within the depression of time
Losing itself is its only crime,
No control that it has
Makes the loss only last,
Seemingly longer
With no way to grow stronger,
In the hope from a moment
Flies a peaceful comet,
Returns the soul
From bitter pieces
To once again a whole
A lifelong lesson it teaches.

Savannah Sullivan Poem
I love you more than you can imagine
More than there are stars on a clear night sky
I will love you through time and after
Into death and the abyss of time
You light me up when I am down
You have shown me surrender does not bear a crown
The light in my heart and the light in my soul
Reaches for you
The forever endless goal

Savannah Sullivan Poem
Broken tears and shattered lives
How it feels deep inside
The day I lost my father
Gone is a piece of my soul
Always thinking and dreaming of you
Continuous love through and through
What am I to do when you are not here
Showing me what to do
On that day I was not there
The way you were for me those years
Untold suffering and woe
Shame and regret restrain me now
Putting on a façade
Abandonment from the reality
Remembering the blessed times
Deep inside my mind
Admirable man that you were
Generous, loyal, sentimental
Could never ask for any more
Always with me everywhere
Always hold you dear
Gratitude for what you did
The way you taught and raised me here
Makes me strong to hold through this
To keep you close
To Remember

Savannah Sullivan Poem
Darkness engulfs the light beyond
Shadows encompass the standing dawn
Leaving dread and despair
The lifelong injury of fear
Guilt and shame lie upon
The soul that stands alone
Traipsing through the swamps of time
Anger, sadness, worthless vines hang above the mind
Floundering feelings drowning deep
Under the sorrow with no sign of retreat
Hopefully trying to catch a glimpse
Of a light…an end to the pain
With no sight of it
Knowing, feeling there will be no gain
