Heartbreaking pain
may try to reign
my life,
my mind,
my soul.
"My kingdom numb
my will is done
now let me rest in peace"
rest wont come
and all my pain
to you are hidden.
You do not see me.
What color are my tearstains?
My pain
is all invisible.
Nothing to see.

I really love how in this poem you can literally turn pain into beauty! A lot of people on teenink ask me to read their work and, quite frankly, I'm not always impressed, but I think you really have something going here your work is something to be wondered upon. It is the deepest emotion with the most beautiful outlining deatil of beauty I am in absolute awe!

You sound very hurt and alone, but your not alone, trust me. I wrote this song once called :"There's somebody out there" It talks about how,no matter what you've done, God is a forgiving and loving God and has room for everyone in his arms, You just have to run to him. He will listen to your feelings and He knows the colors of your teardrops, He loves you and when no one else shows up, God is there for you, just run. This poem is touching.All my poems aren't posted yet, but when they are I would love you to check them out.
