Just Run

Just Run

I ended up staring at myself in the mirror again

Imagining myself in the forest

The dark green trees surrounding me

The clouds form and cover the blue sky

It becomes dark and it starts to rain

My whole world has fallen on top of me

I look at me in the puddle and ask “who am I”?

My eyes start to fade

I think just run

Just run from my…. Life..

I stay up waiting for you

So we can disappear into conversation

While talking, I forget all of it

Its like I am living in another world

And nothing can go wrong

But it has in the past

I am scared to death I will lose you again

Fear flows into my blood that you will leave

Leave me here all alone..

I’m thinking just run

Just fun from my….. Everything..

All I know how to do is cry

And to dread my future

Because my life is not right

Why would it be great later?

How am I suppose to live

When I don’t know what way to turn

I have dreams that I want to capture

But how do I get to them

When everything is so wrong..

My days seem to be getting harder

I am thinking just run

Just run from my…. Self..

Tonight take my soul

And let me rest in piece

Let my body form into a ball

And let no one disrupt me

Let me feel nothing

Because that’s what I am… Nothing..

Let me run

Just run from…. THIS..

You are far from nothing, you are a very talented (gifted) writer/poetess. You are a lovely caring young lady. A very sad write, well written. Thank you for sharing. Debileah

Two big points to add to the emotion of the poem.

Your tenses changed and I wasn't sure if that was deliberate.

And I would love to see you weave in images of that forest throughout! Smell things in the air like rot or animals - feel temperatures and textures - hear animals surrounding you - touch something you can't recognize, or can - just little details that represent and translate into the emotions even more. I think it could read magnificently. Send me a message with this if you do that, I'd love to see it. :)

You are not nothing, You are a beautiful human being with a reason to exist you just don't know it yet.
A lot of people find themselves happy later when they don't give up in life. I find myself half way from where I used to be and it was all because I waited to continue the race in this bullshit life. Again you expressed yourself emotionally again and again I can relate. This was a great piece , and I know things will get better for you . Sometimes you just have to walk in another path. Good job honey

Because that's what I am� Nothing..

You are so far to be Nothing, to feel bad doesnt mean you should dismiss yourself, I know you well , you are far from been nothing... I have been there and most people did, we had been rejected, we have been missing someone that don't want us , or cheat us . or putting us on hold .... most people have been there, Thats how love workes, you are still young, you will have a good full love, maybe more, you just need to take a deep breath , and know that you are special. alwayes. .. use my help, use your friends help, listen to music, smile, and get back to life again. It will take time, but you need to move on to the future and not try to collect pics of good memories and kindness that should be kep in the past. Open yourself to your new life Kyle and you will see that soon you will feel better ... Yossi
