Fighting Strong

Fighting Strong

A Poem by Courtney Clarke
"

I have had a hard time through life at the moment, until i finally realized im strong and I can suvive.

"

I smash it into a million pieces     

That mirror on the wall

I hate the way it looks at me

Like it thinks it knows all

But then I look down

And all I see if me

I just smashed myself in pieces

But how could that be

 

I try to pick them up

But my hand slices open

Blood running onto the floor

All in one sudden motion

I grab another piece

To see what I would do

If I made a final cut

Gently but far enough through

 

Suddenly I am outside

In a park surrounded by trees

Spinning around and around

Hoping nothing would seize

Then I fall over

Hit my head on a road

And then I am in a room

And every door is locked

 

I try to smash the windows

But they seem to heal the cracks

Confused and worried

I fall right down on my back

I begin to fall

Farther then the ground

My sight covered in darkness

Suddenly I hear a sound

 

I follow the sound

And it leads me to this light

I can hear the sound of laughter

And everything goes too bright

So I shut my eyes

And pray for the best

Hoping someone will catch me

And get me out of this mess 

 

I am now at the beach

With my whole family

They’re laughing and playing in the water

So happily

I can’t help but smile

And that’s when I realize

That this is my life

And I had to survive

I try to run

But the sand starts to get rough

Swallowing me up

I finally have had enough

I couldn’t give in no more

I had to be stronger

I have to get out

I can’t live like this no longer

 

That’s when I wake up

On the floor in my kitchen

With glass in one hand

And a cut that needs stitching

I quickly stand up and run to the phone

And there was but one message

Letting me know I wasn’t alone

That’s when I called my mum

And told her what was going on

And now that I know the truth

I will keep fighting strong.

A great piece. I admire your fighting spirit. Glad you realized that all things end, happy or sad. So any trouble which caused you so much pain, will still have it's end.
Keep going!
