Middle Of Everything

by aDORKable x3   Sep 20, 2007


A lost and lonely teenage girl,
Who's desperately trying to find her place in this world.
Alone, she stumbles, with no place to go;
She hides her face so the world'll never know.

Broken inside, with a ripped paper heart -
Her mind and body were torn apart.
Just trying to find something to bring her to life;
When everything's wrong and nothing is right.

The streetlights come on, it's just another night -
Of crying and hiding from everything in sight.
She blasts her music and closes her eyes -
Shuts off the world, until she feels alive.

But nothing helps relieve the pain she hold;
She felt this pain since she was two years old.
Fighting and arguing, she couldn't understand,
Why Mommy was still with that horrible man.

Names were called out; their echos ran through -
Through the young ears that were just barely two.
She held her teddy and prayed for the end -
Now fourteen years later, she's just playing pretend.

Stuck in the middle of eveything, they're fighting about her -
She just feels that they'd be much better without her.
So she packs her bags and waits until it's quiet;
Walks out the door as the heartbreak, she fights it.

Runaway love, trying to find a home -
Lost and scared, she feels so alone.
Caught in the trap of what fighting can bring,
She's the one caught in the Middle Of Everything.

    Nice job! I felt the flow was a bit off in parts, but overall a really good piece full of emotion.

    Nice line....I thought that was a really cool way to rhyme with the word 'quiet' but it didn't sound forced. I really am liking your work!

    I love this but I just feel as though it is not as strong as many of your other poems are. It seems like you sat down to write and you never had an overall idea of what you wanted to write about, which is fine, but in this poem, the story and the rhymes seem just a little forced into where they are. I love this, don`t get me wrong, but the story just seems a little awkward to me is all.. But pooh on you because that`s the quote that I wanted to write for that contest LOL. <33
