Opening Up to You


When my tears start to fall

That’s when I hear the angels call

“Everything’s going to be okay” they say

So I start making my own way

Going through life with my head held high

Trying to keep my emotions from slipping by

I pretend like I have wings

Like I am flying though life’s rings

On my face I wear a smile

Praying I can withstand the next mile.

Hard to trust anyone

And yet still needing someone

Ironic how I’m afraid of being alone

Yet I walk this path all alone

Trying not to let people see

All the pain and anger inside of me

Holding it in like it's life itself

Which means I’m slowly killing myself

Cannot stand it any longer

Trying to make myself look stronger

On the inside I’m falling apart

I actually have a breaking heart

The tears fall like rain

Releasing some of the pain.

The tears always come at night fall

And the angels always call

“Everything is going to be okay” they say

And I wake up to start a new day.

Walking a path where I feel alone

Not many realize I’m not made of stone

You don’t understand though you say you do

It’s okay I’m glad that you aren’t this blue

I will open up to you

I will always tell you the truth

You can tell me your pain

It will stick in my brain

What you never will know

Is it makes my pain grow

It’s like they combined inside of me

I wish there was some way to get free

The only way I know is when the tears fall

And the Angels Call

“Everything is going to be okay” they say

And we get to start a new day.

They comfort me

They help me understand and see

Just so you know I’m not crazy

And sometimes memories get hazy

But I feel your pain too

It’s like it stick to me like glue

So I cry for the both of us

And hopefully you I will learn to trust

So let the tears fall

I need the angels call

Telling me it’s all okay

So I can help you though the day

My pain aside

Your pain you no longer have to hide

Trust me I can feel it too

I hope it’s okay for me to trust you

Together we can let the tears fall

Then maybe you too can hear the angels call

They tell us everything will be okay

And together we can start a new day

We realize we don’t have to walk the path alone.

That nothing is ever truly gone.

My name is Emily. I have always loved to write. A lot of my poems are dark due to the fact I have been suffering from depression since I was 15. I hope you like what you read on here. Feel free to comment and give me your input on my writing.
