Broken Poetry

Leave Me Be

Everything inside me breaks in the moments of pain I experience. My legs go numb and I fall to my knees as I try to cover my face from the rest of the world. Tears fall down into my lap and I just can't keep the emotions in any longer, I feel like I'm a volcano, just waiting to erupt. And when I do, hot tears flow out of me and my body begins to shake. Anything that touches me becomes the hands that pushed me to the floor, anything anyone says to me becomes the insults people have said to my face, and all the eyes that rest on my figure turn into all my fears of what people think of me. I'm not crying for attention, I'm crying because I'm hurt and I just need someone to understand what I'm going through. People say to just go on with life, it won't happen again, but this memory has driven itself so deep into my bones that even doctors couldn't get it out. My wounds may heal but the scars will always be there to haunt me, so in a time where I break down, just leave me.
