Overwhelmed

Contributed by Killer on Thursday, 10th October 2002 @ 10:15:00 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Behind masks of ice, and walls of steel,
I kept the vulnerable part of me hidden for so long.
Never letting others know how I really feel,
I began to believe alone meant strong.

With all my feelings under lock and key,
I know that I became a piece of dammaged goods,
And I tried to free that chained up part of me,
So I could escape my dark, brooding moods.

I fought long and hard towards that dream,
Forced myself to make changes in my life,
But they came to late, or so it seems,
‘Cause, along the way, I lost the things I held dear in life.

Now just when I was starting to feel good again,
I find that no one understands the changes that I’ve made,
I’m sure they don’t mean to cause me pain,
But it hurts to think the person I’ve become doesn’t make the grade.

My best friend says she misses the “old me “,
The “old me”! ain’t that grand, ain’t that swell,
Is she blind? Can’t she see that I’m in misery,
And that my life again has become a living hell!

I’ve found so pain that I can barely cope,
Now that I have set my feelings free.
Will things get better? I ‘m losing hope!
And all my feelings are now controlling me.

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©
