Realization

This is a poem I wrote about a friendship that I've had forever that wasn't a good one.

Locked up

No strength to break free

All there is is darkness

The darkness you provided me

I never imagined

You'd become the villain

Breaking me down into nothing

Except some ugly tortured thing

Every time I almost broke free

I came running back to you

Refusing to believe

You'd become the darkness

Consuming all the light

Shedding tears all day

Shedding tears all night

Knowing something must be wrong with me

When someone I loved couldn't stand to be there no more

Something must be wrong with me

That's all I know now

As the faces kept proving that

The faces all around me

Yet yours is the one that made it real

Made the conclusion most certain

But you're right

It's my fault

Well at least it's not yours

I shouldn't keep doing this to myself

But how do I break free

Will I ever be free

I think it's to late

My eyes finally are open

As the pain shakes my body

I let the tears cover my face

Falling to the floor

As the realization comes over me

The one I've ignored for so long

You're the evil we tell stories about

The one who has left me beaten and afraid

I'm nothing but a pile of rubbish

That can be found in a dump somewhere

I have no choice but to accept it

I tried so hard to ignore it

Let the nightmare be a dream

Nothing more

But the truth comes out eventually

A shining light builds me back together

Maybe one day I'll be whole again

Maybe

Just maybe

As the pain consumes me

And the tears continue to fall

I hope for a better tomorrow

And a freedom

A freedom I deserve

A freedom from the darkness

From the evil that's surrounded me

Waiting for me just around the corner

Always waiting

But not tomorrow

I'm letting the light break free

The story is at its end

The darkness will no longer contain me

It's time to see who I really am

The story is at its end
The darkness will no longer contain me

It's time to see who I really am...Well written & I see a beautiful person. My opinion is that You see a person's true colors when you are no longer beneficial to their life. Stay strong, don't need toxic people to destroy your light ...maria xx

One can feel the pain through the words...beautifully schemed and sewn together...I like your writing..
