My Untold Stories: Poetry

This is my Life

I write my poems to keep me going.

I sing my songs to keep me open.

I draw some pictures they release my stress.

I use my tears because they clean my mess.

I have this mask to hide it all.

I made a net to catch my fall.

I think of dreams because they give me choice.

I speak the truth, it frees my voice.

I looked down the tunnel to find a light.

I search for strength to help me fight.

I look down to avoid all eyes.

I don't tell secrets so I can avoid all lies.

I push you away to keep you sane.

I abandoned my mind so I can forget the pain.

I sew my scares so they can heal.

I hold you close to help me feel.

I do what I can to survive.

I live everyday trying to feel alive.

Is this to stay my burden?

I can't run from my past.

In the end I hope we can last.
