Natalie Pitt Poem
I think about my life
Trying to understand it’s means
When I fall asleep, will it untangle in my dreams?
I look out of the window
And it’s all a bit surreal,
I’m not sure what I’m looking for or how it is I feel
If I hadn’t lived my life this way,
What would I have become?
If it hadn’t blocked out all my light,
Like clouds around the sun
If I hadn’t lived so full of fear
Alone with my reflection
If I hadn’t masked the real me
In fear of the perception
If one more drink was never poured
The resentment never made
Where life just melted pain away
And a new path could be Laid
Would I have been a better me?
With hope still in my heart
Life built on strong foundations
Not weak and torn apart
My days were fast and furious
My nights drawn out and wild
Yet I still saw every moment
Through the wide eye’s of a child
If I hadn’t wasted all those tears
So many moments lost
If I hadn’t felt the hate within
At such a heavy cost
If I could do it all again and Revisit all the wonder
Would I float through it, like a breeze
Or would it still pull me under
There may never be the answers
It may never become clear
Why we have these obstacles
Or the reason that were here
Yet, People leave this world to soon
Whatever leaving means?
But the ones we love are always there
If we look inside our dreams……

Natalie Pitt Poem
I saw a woman standing there
Her clothes tattered and torn
I saw a woman standing there
Her face looked so forlorn
A women full of worry lines
Grey streaks throughout her hair
A tear was rolling down her cheek
But she was unaware
Life had been hard, bitterly cruel
Her dreams taken away
And yet she’d fought with all her might
To face another day
I’d watched the woman standing there, now for quite a while
And as I watched her, she watched me
And we both began to smile
For as I looked into her deep, lost eyes
I soon began to see
The woman I was staring at, in the mirror, it was me!

Natalie Pitt Poem
She wondered, entering the sea, in fierce relentless rain,
As the waves crashed hard against the rocks, would she see the sun again?
Her life was dark now,like the sky that loomed a murky grey,
Her body breathing in the air, as her legs,
start to give way.
Her head’s a torrid mass of thoughts, her heartbeat racing fast,
With terror running through her veins, as she relives her past.
She wades now, deep into the sea, numb and unperturbed,
The voice inside screams “help me”, but not a sound is heard.
Her body shaking violently, her eyes, a blurry glass
In measured breaths, she speaks aloud,
The words….”this too, shall pass”.
The world seems very different now, the pull so very strong,
A song is entering her mind, “I did it my way”, plays along.
If only she’d embraced her life and had the aptitude to think,
Instead of being ruled by fear and turning to the drink.
So many poignant moments missed and memories were lost,
Affirming self-destruction at such a heavy cost.
Now, immersed in thrashing waves and violent cracks of thunder,
She takes one last look at the sky as the water pulls her under.
She can't accept the things, she cannot change, the grief and shame so raw
And, the courage to change the things she can, had always been her flaw.
The darkness, now engulfs her and her body becomes light,
She can see all those that died too soon, each one had lost their fight.
And as she takes, her final breath, the last thought to remain,
Is…. now the clouds have disappeared and I will see the Sun again.
