Best Poems Written by Aerianah Turner

Untitled

Waking up every morning with this great fear and burden on my heart
Waking up every morning wanting to tear my heart apart
 
Speaking to the enemy at church and on the phone 
I get this feeling of dread while I'm at home
 
At one point in my life I was wishing I could just escape from this treacherous 
world
Wishing and hoping that my world would stop twirling 
 
At one point in my life it was changing dramatically 
I felt like no one could see me 
 
I wasn't always the center of attention 
But my life was racing so fast, I was about to have a head-on-collision
 
Scared of my past, I let my past define
Scared of my present, I let other people define me 
 
Crying black tears that no one could see 
Crying black tears that came from the depths within me 
 
As the tears fell down from my cheek, thoughts of suicide started to slip in
Not knowing what to do I started to give in
 
With the people around me caring for me deeply
They didn't let me give in and now I'm starting to see me
 
Life changing as it may seem this is everything that 's happened to me 
Life changing as it may seem I didn't let these things get the best of me
