Pieces Of My Life

by Charlotte   Jan 4, 2005


It all comes falling down like the rain on a stormy night
Shattering on the floor into a million pieces
Realizing what I’ve done I fall to the floor crying
Frantically trying to pick up the pieces of my broken life
The shards tear open my hands letting my soul run free
It flows so swiftly over the tiles but I don’t even notice
Because theres only one thought in my head which sticks there
Like a persistent toddler tapping on my shoulder not letting me forget
All I care about and all I want is to get my life back
But not the one I’ve tried so hard to end, the one I long to forget
Instead I want my old life, the one where I was happy
Where I woke up smiling because I was glad to be alive
Not where I woke up crying because yet again I had survived the night
But it’s too late for this defeated girl for I didn’t realize soon enough
For it was only after walking down suicide lane that I saw my sun
That I realized it had been in front of me the entire time I just hadn’t seen it
But I was too far gone by now to be saved, even by myself
But before leaving I whisper the words”All I wanted was the old me back…”

    Very interesting. But some part of me doesn't see this as a poem but more of a paragraph. Anywho keep on writing!
