Quiet

This poem is about the feelings my mom had caused me to feel.

Quiet

A distance I can bare to walk, 

Silence running through my head, 

And she is beautiful, 

Everything you ever said,

Who would be the first to break, 

When the waters are running still, 

How many more steps can I take,

Or can’t I move against my will,

Pass your burden to me,

And you won’t regret, 

All the things you had to do and see,

 To forget,

Hush, not a sound,

Yet I hear a distant beat, 

Voices in my head pound,

But are they listening to me,

Silence can stand still before my eyes, 

A time that stands with itself,

But who I am is who they despise,

Both in sickness and in health,

I feel love can’t exist, 

When no-one will join sides, 

I’ve been waiting for something like this,

For most of my life,

Everywhere I go,

The only thing that I could feel,

Is something horrible,

But this moment is real,

Carry on for me,

Hold on a while longer,

Experience my dream,

Just be a little stronger,

Eventually the time will come,

And you may be set free,

Hold on to the ones you love, 

Are one of those people me?,

Do not block me out,

I only want to start,

To empty all the doubt,

From where it sits in my heart,

When the gates finally open,

Don’t take a step back,

Try to remember before then,

And what you once lacked,

You gained an experience,

Which most people don’t,

It has been a while since,

So forget? I know I won’t,

Relationships with parents can be strained in teenage years. I suspect you may be that age. Persevere. I hope the future brings happiness for you. Good to poem your feelings. It helps.
