Why

by writer1997

I gave it all again Let you break down the wall around my heart Why did you have to hurt it? Make it bleed? Why ruin the chance for others? Was it because you loved me enough to want no one to have me, But not enough for you yourself? Is that the reason? I believed all the lies you told me I believed all the little tricks I believed the smiles on your face When you said my name It's not a game This thing called love You can't just throw it around So tell me how I'm expected to deal with this. With dignity? I lost it when I loved you With grace? I'm a klutz With truth? I'm a failure So tell me why it hurts so much When I know it wasn't true. Tell me why you send me away When you always said I love you

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.

Thanks. My boyfriend and I broke up yesterday and I guess I'm not quite over him yet. If you ever need anything let me know.
