EmptyA Poem by Stephanie MorfordI wrote this as a freshman for a poetry assignment. A bit about self doubt and finding yourself
I feel an empty hole in my heart
As I watch rocks skip over the water While I sink down and down I call out "I'm drowning, save me." No one can hear my cries They all just walk away Screaming "I love you," It's all a lie When I'm over they'll go on Forget me and all I stood for Say "Love yourself," because I can't love me Think I've gone crazy think I've lost my mind With all this it gets to your head I can't fall into my dreams No peaceful dreams for me My blood boils burning my body I press the switch A light as bright as the sun I hear a voice "Open your eyes." I never want to go back Scared out of my mind that it was the end Always being forced to pretend Faked a smile a laugh to get through my days The sun didn't exist there It's so much brighter here As the memories come back I feel a foreign smile on my face It's time to tell them So they know why I cried I can finally be justified.
