To the girl who feels like giving up.....I see you!
By: Aelijah Medina
-
I know you think no one notices....but I do.
In those stolen moments that I stared at you,
I saw that there was once a spark in those eyes of yours.
-
But now a different emotion is in store.
They have seen so much pain,
Lies that no one should gain.
-
I can tell that so many stories hide behind those eyes, so tired.
Stories that scream to be heard.
To be seen by people whose vision's so blurred.
-
I saw that you are exhausted.
The exhaustion of many hidden tears, and days full of anxiety and heart ache that I'm surprised you can take.
I saw many smiles and laughs that you fake,
But I know that you need a break.
-
A break from pain, from lies,
From words so sweet like fruit in a pie.
Emotions and feelings that you hide behind a smile so bright.
-
So bright that I was lured,
Deeper and I ensured
That these you can endure,
But too much pain can have only one cure.
-
And that cure is love.
Love from friends and family
Who care for you dearly.
-
I know you hold yourself back,
That self confidence, you lack.
But it's okay to be open,
Because I am here to listen.
-
Listen to your fears, your pain, your suffering.
To help you stand up without falling.
To help you smile without ever crying.
And to help you release the pain that you're hiding.
-
I will always be here for you,
No matter what they say, no matter what you do.
I'm sorry, I can be a nuisance.
But I can and will do anything when given a chance.
This poem won't be my last,
But if you want me to stop, you can always ask.
Because I'm planning to continue,
Making poems just for you.
-
Because with these I can express my feelings.
Shout it out without lying,
Yes I can lose. but at least I lost trying.
