The Bitter End

by Katie Makena   Jun 15, 2009


Why can't you see
The hurt in my eyes
When tears are falling
There is no disguise

It builds and builds inside me
Tied into ribbons of pain
Emotions of a broken girl
Losing at this game

Buried in the ground
Is where I want to be
Away from all this madness
Even away from me

Seems I can't hide it
Beneath the fake smile
Nothing is ever good
Not even for a while

I can't find any comfort
All my hope is gone
Forever thrown away
Where was it all along?

I'm crying out now
From so far away
Wishing someone was here
To help me want to stay

I'm tired of all the running
Fighting to stay alive
I'm taking my last breath
So I guess this is goodbye

    Why can't you see
    The hurt in my eyes
    When tears are falling
    There is no disguise
    *A smile is a wonderful disguise and even though you are hurting people can't seem to notice. Even if you do cry a little people don't realise the hurt that these tears are actually revealing, wonderful portrayal of this. Powerful opeing stanza.*
    It builds and builds inside me
    Tied into ribbons of pain
    Emotions of a broken girl
    Losing at this game
    'Losing at this game,' I like this line because I know the game your talking about is actually life and that's all life is; one big game. Such an emotional stanza with alot of thought behind it.*
    Buried in the ground
    Is where I want to be
    Away from all this madness
    Even away from me
    *I really like the portrayl of this stanza that you are buried in the ground and that your soul is looking at you from beyond the grave, such a deep/dark image. Not one that should happen very soon though.*
    Seems I can't hide it
    Beneath the fake smile
    Nothing is ever good
    Not even for a while
    *Depression makes us feel worse when we hide behind smiles. No matter how reality hurts, it's always better to show true emotions because it will help us deal with the hurt we have been dealt. Heartfelt, flawless stanza.
    I can't find any comfort
    All my hope is gone
    Forever thrown away
    Where was it all along?
    *There is never any comfort in depression and we always think hope has gone but there is always something that will help us through, it might be a long time but it will be here eventually. Another flawless stanza.*
    I'm crying out now
    From so far away
    Wishing someone was here
    To help me want to stay
    *Crying near or far will never help because the people that notice you crying will never understand how hurt we are. And if people tell us to stay because of so many things they will never seem good enough. Wonderfully written.*
    I'm tired of all the running
    Fighting to stay alive
    I'm taking my last breath
    So I guess this is goodbye
    *Flawless stanza. On the whole an emotional yet flawless poem. Well written, 5/5. Em*
