Best Poems Written by Vanessa Martinez

Timelapse

Years ago I was cursed with unwanted knowledge 
Months ago I sentenced myself to agonizingly crawl through unknown ground 
A week ago I was the unstoppable joke and center of laugh for those strangers on different minds 
Yesterday I watched my sorrow painfully burn alive 
Last night I found myself consigned to oblivion 
Today my soul was forced to rise up just to realize nothing had changed 
Tomorrow will be a repetition of my most replayed nightmares 
In a week I'll be buried underground at dead of night and never seen again 
In a month I'll be far bygone 
In years I'll be completely out of sight 
And you still dare to say that  I'll be alright
