Life

A poem.

All of my walls that I have built surround me whole,
Cause I'm too afraid to let someone reach my soul.
Everything that I've been through; no one will know,
Doesn't matter how hard they try; I'll never show.

There's many hidden bruises engraved on my fate,
With no one bending over backwards to relate.
Silent words go drifting across the room unheard,
Erasing all of the things in my life that mattered.

Days seem like a blink of the eye; goes by too fast,
I'm still grasping for some happiness from my past.
Reaching into thin air but not finding a single thing,
Being pushed away by the caring of an angels wing.

Unsure of who I've become and who I want to be,
Leaning over the edge; stealing all that I can see.
The keys to unlock my future are buried beneath,
Inside of my skin; crawling carelessly underneath.

Smiles painted on beautifully like a piece of art,
While feeling the torture of being ripped apart.
Crashing tears that haven't felt the grounds surface,
Each and every tear drop represent the sadness.

My lips are sealed with feelings that I can't display,
And though all the pain remains the same; I'm okay.

This is great! My favorite lines were "Smiles painted on beautifully like a piece of art,While feeling the torture of being ripped apart.Crashing tears that haven't felt the grounds surface,Each and every tear drop represent the sadness." I had to take a step back when I saw that. It hits home with me. Thanks so much for posting this!

Wow !
Well done ! I really enjoy your imagery here, exceptional !

''The keys to unlock my future are buried beneath,
Inside of my skin; crawling carelessly underneath.''

If you don't mind I just have a tiny bit of constructive critiscm to mention. It is ( for me atleast ) a little hard to read all bunched up. Maybe seperating the text into stanzas can help ?

I'm blown away! Good job !
