PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Deep breaths intermingled with sighs

Clutching my throat to restrain the hurt

Wiping my eyes to dissimulate the cries

Trying frantically to remain inhert

Livid cheeks and trembling lips

All giving way to hearty sobs

Desperate efforts to get a grip

But losing compusure at seeing who robs

A person that is made of sacrifices

A person built strong by time

A person who rarely wears disguises

A person who has proven to be sublime

This person is my unconscious thief

Taking away the only speck of hope

This person is my source of grief

The reason why I exist and mope

This person hurts me more than many

I've come to fear her above all

I truly cannot think of any

Any who have placed in my path a wall

Except for one real manipulator

A victim of abuse and strife

The best of instigators

One who has been hit hard by life

But why must I suffer the same?

Why must I feel the blows?

Why do I feel weak or ashamed

when I allow my love to flow?

My heart of all hearts suppressed

My hopes partly shattered

My optimistic self depressed

My juvenile ignorance battered

I know you're trying to teach me

To make me mature in ignorance

To make me strong in reality

But you're taking away my essence

You rid me of naive dreams

You try to instill shallow thoughts

You encourage me to avoid what seems

And focus solely on what I've been taught

You've given me the mind of an adult

And refused to accept my joyous heart

You think you help but you insult

I want to reach the end before the start

I understand your purpose is to protect

Your innate maternal instinct

But you tend to completely neglect

That I have a right to see pink

I won't follow in your footsteps

I'll try to learn from your mistakes

But please cease to reach into my depths

And torture me for my own sake

Please be comforting and consoling

Please I beg you be merciful

You're just being cruel and controlling

Please stop trying to be helpful

I hate you in my love

Because it renders me helpless

But I've had about enough

I can't continue in this sadness

There is no reason for this

It is utterly unneccesary

I can't fall in this abyss

I can't keep growing dull and weary

I musn't let you take hold

Ruin my happiness at your expense
