This Is Me
August 30, 2014
I don't try to be negative
I try to stay positive
But with my past haunting me
It's really hard
I feel like I have nothing
No one to talk too
I wish people would hear me
I wish they could understand
The pain I carry
It's weighing me down
I just want my pain
To go away
Never to return again
But I fear the worst
Is yet to come
For in my dreams
I see scary things
Things I cannot understand
I fear my life
Is at the end
I fear that death
Is soon to come
This is me

Such emotions flow through the poem with ease, it is still so gracious.

Thank you hun (:
I love the raw emotions in your poems. Your right about not being able to get rid of past memories because everybody has something that haunts them. It's ok to feel that people don't get you because they are not you, you just need to remember that friends are the ones who stick with you through the good and bad times. So don't fear the past nor the future, just embrace it because living with those memories shows just how courageous you are. Keep at it because your stronger than you think.
I wrote this because I feel like people don't understand. They don't realize what I've been through. When I try to tell them they either walk away or they say stop thinking about your past. Well my past haunts me. You cannot get rid of the memories of my past no matter what.
