PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A tear falls down hitting the sand and stone
Shivers rupture chilling to the center of my bone
I cover my arms but I can't seem to cover my shame
Looking up to the sky, but no one is there to blame.

Letting go of it all, I take off my clothing and head to the shore
Not turning back, knowing that there is still nothing I want more
Freedom runs deep, freedom runs wide, knocking me to my knees
My hair blows softly, arms shaking, skin stinging from the breeze.

A less bloody way is all I need to get you to see
There is more to my life than what I seem to be
Thoughts roll wildly, the waves crashing at my side
Looking onward, I stand admiring the wonderful tide.

Walking in further, my feet barely sinking into the sand below
Turning slightly to see the world, and the world will never know.
Questions forming, voices screaming, people staring from afar
I can't blame those staring at me like I am some horrid scar.

My head goes under the waves, violently crashing at my skull
My breath leaving my lungs, my heart beating ever so careful
My skin starting to shrivel, my vision growing dim
The water taking and uplifting my lifeless limbs.

My body now floats, moments after I enter the ocean
Now everyone will know that my heart is broken
It is too late. My life is gone, I now cannot move any part of me
I now realize this is not the way it should have had to be.
