Here it is


All this time  I was waiting for a sign
A time when it wouldn't hurt so much
A place where I could love myself 
And not retort to a blade

I wonder if they care
I wonder if they notice
I wonder if they truely love me
Or if it's all an act

I hold it all in
The tears
The fears
The scars that show with each hurtful word

My heart is broken
No one's there to fix it
I've become the background color
When I should be the main picture of my life

I tell them my story and they give sympathy
They think that's what will help me
Little do they know,
It only makes it worse

Tears are full of blood
Fears are for the future
Scars are from all the times
They thought to break my heart

I have a love that won't flourish
An Angel that is dead
My support left me long ago
My life completly fled

I have been through situations in my life that some would say make me stronger. They made me wise, they made me cry, the took away all my hope. But I'm still living. Poetry is my way to express myself. Besides music, it's all I have. I'm here because I found a place where I can be recognized for my poems and not my experiences. When I won't be judged because of what happened to me. Other than that you'd be surprised at how happy I seem. I'm outgoing I'm hyper I'm not allowed to have sugar because I'm so hyper I'm caring I'm helpful I care for others more than myself I have high expectations and dreams Music is my life This is me and if you can't except it than leave.
