Weight Of The World

Contributed by Fiona on Friday, 24th January 2003 @ 03:40:00 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

The light no longer shines in the darkness that engulfs me
The pain, and the suffering is an endless burden
I have tried as hard as I can to hold it inside
And the smile on my face verifies my deceit

I ask of you to let me live without the criticism
Because the tears in my eyes are the result of your words
And I feel that my existence isn’t worthy of life

My faith in God has kept me going this long
but even that is slipping through my fingers like sand
The happy girl I once was is now a faded memory
And my heart turns colder as the days progress

Please don’t call me a failure, I beg of you
The emotional beating I have endured is substantial
And the wall around my heart remains an unbroken barrier

I have become overwhelmingly sensitive to words
And it is words that have allowed me to express my anguish
But you have violated all that I have created
And the desire to express is no longer frequent or inspiring
Singing was my love, but my voice is no longer heard
And the music in my heart is toneless, and faint

I am restless, and I often contemplate ending it all
But the guilt in my heart and the fear of hell has lengthened the process
And has made me wonder if death is the escape I am looking for

Perhaps I am just another typical teenage girl with severe anxiety
But to know me, you have to look past the outer exterior
And realize that I cannot be categorized, or simplified
I am not an object, and I refuse to be a victim of your cruelty
There is more to me than the judgements you embrace
And the rumors you hear that hold no truth or plausibility

But despite everything, I forgive you
Because you have proved the irrational nature of mankind
A categorization, a simplification
A weight on your shoulders
That is the weight of the world

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
