These tears trekking down my face show nothing but the past.
They are silent, yet the only things that know of my pain
As each one drips down the side of my face,
I feel as though with it, the pain receeds
It rolls away,
On its new found journey.
No physical indication,
Only memories to remind me of the raging storm within.
They never understood my pain,
Though they are paid to pretend they do.
Yes i am bold enough to admit,
I did go to them for help.
Though to put my emotions into words,
My experiences..
How could they possibly come to an understanding of what Rages within
Willing to destroy me,
And succeeding.
Now as i stand before the mirror, a new found courage arises within
I have fought.
I have withstodd the pain
The shame
The on-going battle.
Though i know its far from over,
I know this is something i must battle,
And on my own, I will.
Though i feel empty.
My past has completely emptied my soul,
My future.
hey! i like the raw emotion in this and i really like how you ended it with your head high and focusing on the future, instead of the past. Hang tough because life can be rough sometimes. But when you pull out of a rut and discover everything will be ok, that's the best feeling. i really enjoyed your poem! ~Jason
