As Time Flies By

Just a little something, that is there...

I don't want to be the girl

who made a mistake,

when it happens.

I want to be the girl

who makes a difference,

in everyone's life

who feel the same.

But that time is slowly creeping up on me,

like it wants to take me away.

When it does reach me,

I will give in,

because there is nothing left

for me to hold onto.

People can come,

and people can go.

But there are ones who will stay

right beside you.

- That is the one thing

I do not seem to have.

They always seem

to be able to listen to others,

but why can't they listen to me?

Isn't this enough for you to understand,

that I need you?

I've been beaten

and I've been broken,

by a bunch of words

that I believe.

There are scars on my skin

and tear stains on my cheeks.

And it only seems to get worse.

you have a way of being brutally honest in such a marvelous and innocent way. this poem is heart wrenching ... listening is a learned art thinks i ... to quiet our selfish mind ... fearful minds ... to hear what another human being is taking time to express instead of trying to figure out what we will say the minute opportunity presents itself ... sigh! yes ... i am sure... we all want to talk ... your last two verses are hard hitting, precise and emotive ... thank you for sharing this!

I really like this. I can honestly relate to a lot of the things you've expressed in this poem. I don't have much a critique other than that life will get better. The people who are real and who do truly care, will be there to listen and offer an ear. It's finding those kind of people that's the hardest part. I like what you wrote, so I'm going to add you. :)

H'lo, how you holding up?sometimes other do or will listen...but someone has to speak first.

I've learned in Life, that if you act and believe as if you have what you want, you will get it. This is both the good news and the bad news, for as we think and feel, that is what comes to be. This is the immutable law of the universe. I like what you wrote. It is good.
