I can't let them know

by Brittany C   Sep 25, 2006


Why am I here?
Why was I even born?
I never had anything to offer anyone.
There is no reason to worry about me,
I'm just another girl placed on this planet,
trapped in a cold world,
filled to the brim with loneliness.

I can't let any one know the truth,
when hatred consumes my very heart and soul,
I don't care what happens to me,
or care if I will even see another day,
I never look forward to what could be.

But I protect my friends,
they are my life,
the only reason I bother living,
I only care about them,
never pay any heed to my own needs.
I am glad I have others to keep my mind off of myself,
yet I still break down in the depth of the night,
surrounded by my burdens,
fighting to keep what's left of my sanity.

I cry and bleed from cuts on my arms,
to rid my self of this burning pain which
penetrates my very heart and soul.
To try and rid my self of the tears by dawn,
after a night of letting them run their course,
trying to cleans my soul,
before I see my friends again.

If they ask me if something's wrong,
I just tell them I'm all right, anything wrong.
I will do what it takes to make sure I hide the truth,
about how I truly fill deep inside.
I can't let them know.

    I cant let them know = I can't let them know

    Another well written poem, although this hit home quite well, better than the last one I read. I enjoyed this one, and it was made up of mostly one word: penetrate(S). I love that word, and your use of that word in this poem inspired me =] SO, I am making a ONE WORD contest now =] Thanks to your inspiration.

    Well written
    5/5

    Okay, now THiS was good .

    I don't care what happens to me,
    Or care if I will even see another day,
    I never look forward to what could be,

    Wow. This is a great poem. You expressed here how brave you are for not only your friends but yourself. You did a very good job. I know how you feel. We all have to be strong for someone. Even if it isn't ourselves.
