I'M SORRY

by powerful.imani

Came in a text message I couldn't do nothing but stay still in silence thinking it's a joke 

I felt used where the values of my heart didn't have no artificial price tag

where you wasted everything only to end up a bad gift in a disguise 

making my heart speak louder then my common since  

I had hatred,anger,frustrated ,embarrassed ,felt like nothing

that steady continued to build up no limited only overflowing a glass that dripped every single tear

Questioning myself on why didn't I listen to the voices in my head that told me to walk away 

only reliving ever happy moment

not coming to reality to know that

all that  lied in the past 

Where I had the gain that started to make me feel complete can be the one thing to break me 

having all the pieces of my heart to drop to the ground shattered all over the place 

leaving that one dangling piece that slowly felled bounced over the echoes inside me 

 emptiness

the absents of a heart,a soul ,the absents of me

Using my last breath off a lie leaving no extra strength in my rib cage to defend the aches I felt 

Hopping you would look back and see how the person I am has disappeared

only for you to continue to walk away hand in hand with someone else

the person I could have been

only leading me on then pushing me over the edge

thinking I would land on pillows only landing on thorns that

stabbed me in the inside and out the back  

Why did you use me for the support while another person named permitted in you heart 

Why was I the person left alone ,why was I the person whose heart was destroyed

The person who never hurt you ,ALWAYS there to listen ,and take the time to understand you even if you were the villain 

the person who believed in you  

Burning my voice not even leaving my ashes just to say I had something left

Just when I think I can overcome the world there another surprise 

One unread message 

I'M SORRY 

a 7 letter word is not enough to change how you made me feel

<p>You are so right because when anyone hurt you so bad you have to forgive them grow on you because there always something better after the storm a rainbow.</p>

<p>First thing first, this world repeats past mistakes like we don't know any better; but yet we do. I don't care where ppl come from and grow up around, we all know what that feeling instead says to us; that this doesn't feel right and if no one feels that when their commiting the act of hurting another, theirs something wrong with them. Secondly MVP is right, no one should ever be second in someone life; we all deserve to be queen and kings cause that's how high we hold ourselves in our own eyes. Never lower yourself for someone else.</p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">I know the price of love and what it feels like, its amazing and its a great rush to your system; like a drug but thats what makes us look the other way when others are hurting us. That's why we can't see what is clearly in our faces, but Imani whoever hurts you isn't worth your time and love. Don't waste a tear on someone who doesn't know better and doesn't understand what they have. Ppl are allowed a second but not a third. It will get better and build yourself, make someone work for it and if they can't stand up and take on your expectations; then there not the guy your looking for.&nbsp;</span></p>

You are so right poetry is that calm place were u can drop all your problems and just let it out. The day that happened it was such a I told you so but still my heart getting broken. But I'm the type of girl I will support the guy we can still be friends I don't have time be hateful now I was emotional but it only show how strong I really am and I'm going to continue being strong though hard times definitly stand tall with my feet(i wrote a poem called my feet)if you wanna check it out thank you for your support because it keeps me standing strong

Yes relationship can be hard but like MVP told me I should never be 2nd to anyone. I learned how as something bad happened in my life there always somebody who is willing to get you back on your feel. Plus a relationship dosent make me as a person it's just the icing on the cake. Thank you so much for your support please check out my other poem and hopefully they inspire you
powerful.imani
Thank you so very much for your support it really warms my heart to have my words impact others and how others can relate. That was a very hard time that I overcame

<p>The last line itself held so much emotion! Don't let it get you down...put your energy and emotion into something that will touch, inspire, and uplift (like this poem), and understand that these things happen and we learn from them. Great job expressing your feelings.</p>
