Stranded

Broken,

Through these walls,

I can see,

How the rain falls,

Shaken,

No one can see,

Why I’m not well,

I’m not me,

Life changes,

Not for good,

Renew time,

Alone I’ve stood,

I’m bruised,

Just like skin,

Not outside,

But within,

I’m branded,

Labeled dead,

Still alive,

Inside my head,

I’m burning,

Empty pictures,

Erasing,

Written scriptures,

Making,

New history,

Changing,

What used to be,

All alone,

Left stranded,

I’m lost,

Empty handed.



So many years have gone by,

So few answers to my questions why,

Too many tears I have had to cry,

So many days I have wanted to die,

Still I am stranded,

So why should I try?

oooh! definitely my favorite out of the poems you have posted, tho all of them are really good! it makes it much more powerful to have each line short as if it was stranded and i really like the rhythm and rhyme. it hit me hard and went strait to my heart. good job with this one!!! keep writing :)
