07. Painful Sighs A single tear falls from these lonely eyes.
I'm so tired of this life.
I want to be free--
free of everything that holds me back.
I can't go on being the only one to care.
I can't go on pretending everything is fine
when in reality it's not.
I need to be free--
free of all that brings me down.
Can anyone give me that freedom?
No.
Only I can,
but I'm too afraid to let go.
Too afraid
to jump into something I don't know.
And I miss what used to be.
I would give anything just to go back.
Anything just to be free once more.
Ohh my Gosh!! Okay, i don't know how to begin telling you how remarkable this poem is. Oh my goodness, i seriously felt like crying more and more after each line. I hope you don't feel this way, because i most certainly do.. and you've actually described it so well... i'm am literaly shocked. You are wise beyond your years, Heather. I hope you don't feel this way.. It's hell. But yeah, this poem touched me so deeply and i thank you SO much.. I really want to single out some lines in the poem that i liked so much b/c i feel like im being so vague! But all the lines are so good it's hard to pick.. I feel like just copying the whole poem right here! Alright, i've thought long and hard about this.. but here's my favorites:
"A single tear falls from these lonely eyes.
I'm so tired of this life."
Okay.. and i just love ALL these lines:
"but I'm too afraid to let go.
Too afraid
to jump into something I don't know.
And I miss what used to be.
I would give anything just to go back.
Anything just to be free once more."
Wow, this poem is SO great.. you have no clue! Thank you so so so much! I hope i didn't bother you by writing such a long comment, but i felt like i REALLY needed to! Thank you so much!

This is a good one. I can relate, I could have writen it myself. You just wish you could go back in time to when things were easier, right? Unfortunently life is linear, it only moves in one direction; always forward.
