Because I have

by CareBear   Feb 5, 2006


Do you know how it feels
To Not want to get out of bed
Not want to face the day
Because everything keeps going wrong

Do you know what it's like to smile
When you're really hiding the pain
Of so many many months,
Years gone by

Do you know how to hide
behind a perfect disguise
Because the only thing perfect
Is the disguise

Have you ever had to wear bracelets
Up to your elbows
To hide so much
You never want anyone to see

Do you know what it's like to be screaming on the inside
Thinking the whole world can hear you
But feeling so alone and disappointed when you realize
No one else can hear you

Do you ever breakdown in tears
For no reason at all
Except you don't want to face another day
Of uncertainty and pain

Have you ever picked up a knife and sworn this would be the last time
But put it down after just one cut
Because there is still
the smallest glimmer of hope

Have you ever found yourself
wondering why you're still holding on
When you have so many reasons to let go
Yeah, I have too

    This poem...Oh my goodness. This is my favorite poem right now! Would it be alright if I read this for one of my classes? I'll say your name and everything. I just think it's so beautiful, and I could agree right up until the end. I don't know how, but this affected me alot. The last stanza really brought it together and made it make sense. Lovely poem. One of my absolute favorites! Keep up the lovely work, and I will be reading more!

    love,
