Life beats down and crushes the soul but art reminds you that you have one. -Stella Adler
He who lives upon hope will die fasting.
-Benjamin Franklin
If you're absent during my struggle. Don't expect to be present during my success.


You can call it crazy.
You can call me mad.
You can try to break me
but you already have.

You can think I'm worthless,
well you're not alone.
So many times that I've heard this
while you sit upon your throne.

How can you live with yourself
knowing I'm dying in this cell
that I'm supposed to call home?
But nobody knows
of the demons that lurk
in my mind in the dark.
As I tremble with fear
to the beat of your heart.

You don't know I've already died
a thousand times inside
'cause you never looked in my eyes,
you never held me when I cried.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

In a way, this poem can be used in spiritual life. Wonderful job, Wontgiveup17! I've felt this way before. I love how you wove your words into making it into your poem! It has depth and a lot of feeling. ^_^ thank you, for sharing this!
