Broken Heart

My 16th birthday poem... Needless to say, wasn't my best birthday to date...

I sit here staring into nothing,
My head so empty with everything and full of nothing,
My lips unmoving,
My eyes dull.

 

Apathy consumes me ,
Been there, done that.



I dance between hollowness and ambivalence,
Undecided,
Story of my life.
Am I good or bad?
Am I alive or dead?
Am I alone, or am I being suffocated in a crowd?
Whatever I am,
Whatever I may be,
Wherever I may be,
I need to change,
It needs to change.



Am I in love or am I heartbroken?
Am I romantic or pathetic?
Emotional or obsessive?
ANd why wont anyone ever answer my questions?
Why do some people make me feel so good,
Make me feel like the only person in the world,
And then rip it out from under me.
WHy do the people who make me feel so good,
Make me want to rip out my heart,
Just so it'll stop hurting.

I love the first verse. It has so much power behind it, so much emotion. I love it!

I love this poem for so many reasons. It brings out not only your own personal feelings, but is sort of like a lesson to other people who may make the mistake of thinking that love is the only powerful force on this earth. At the same time, it isn't a long poem and doesn't leave you tired after reading it. Good job.
