Slipping Away

Contributed by lil_angel on Sunday, 25th August 2002 @ 07:33:16 AM in AEST
Topic: FriendshipPoetry



I close my eyes
All I want to do is leave this world behind
All the pain
I want to escape back into my world
Where there is no pain or no suffering
There is no un-employment
Where there is no crime
Where everyone is safe
I hear your voice gently calling me back
I don’t want to go back
I want to stay here
In my protective bubble
I don’t wanna leave
But you’re gently pulling me back
For you know that it isn’t the place for me to be
I try to close my eyes again
Try to mask my inner feelings
Gently you grab me and pull me away
You wanna know what’s wrong and I know lying is useless
I try to pull away you wont let me go
You give me that look that makes me go weak in the knees
Finally I tell you
You are shocked that I haven’t told anyone
I want to close my eyes
But you wont let me
For slipping into my world will do more damage then good
You lock the doors to my world
For that is what I need and you know it
If I try to close my eyes again please just gently call me back
For if I enter my world again I fear that I will never come back

I have been down that same path once before. I know what it is like to not want to tell anyone what is going on in your mind. We both have overcame that and we will continue on with our lives.

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. ©
