Best Poems Written by Lorraine Mandinde

Lost sou;

Blinded by the love l had inside
My heart has been taken for granted
I showed up for them, but no one showed up for me
I hid myself in my little dark corner waiting for someone to rescue me
I dug myself down with guilt
Guilt that surrounds me each and everyday
Losing myself has become a part of me
I smile everyday but faking the smile is hard
I try to be kind, but my kindness is taken away by everything that l sees
I think about it every day, but my thought is taken away by guilty conscience
My confidence is taken away by my pride
But there's nothing l can do about 
I wish l was like an ocean that flows without any worries
But l being a human l flow with delusions in my heart and mind
I wake up every day but l still find the same shadow following me
May the pain in my heart flow like the water in the ocean
My tears flow like an ocean, but no one notices
I can never be a victim in any story as l am always seen as the villain
I pray that someone catches me whispering
The wounds may heal but the scars will remain
