"Everything you can imagine is real.”


I wanna stare out into the blue.
I don't want anything to move, I should be the only groove.
I wanna sit alone and scream into the waves.
Let them drift me away into the right place.
I wanna feel the sand slip throughmy hands.
My mind is in one place, but my heart is in someone else's waste.
I wanna feel the sun's heat on my face.
I don't like this place i'm in.
I need to breathe in, but I don't know how to breathe out.
The only thing that comes out is a war.
A war of words between myself and I.
I wanna feel the high of not being ashamed to cry.
I am broken, but apart of me is hoping that these words have spoken.
I can't make these words jump off the paper.
So I can only have the courage to say, I hope you'll pray.
Pray because I wanna see a better day.
Saying goodbye to all my heartbreak yesterdays.
Letting go of all the shady ways, the distant heys,
and the motionless waves.
I'm at a bottomless pit of shame and pain.
It seems as if my pain is for someone else's gain.
So let it rain and spread my pain.
It seems as if my pain has turned into a game.
A game that's only meant to be played in vain.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem wwhen I was fifteen years old. I wrote it as a way to express myself and all the pain that I was feeling. Every emotion that I was feeling at that time is in this poem. The pain I felt was real, this poem is real. It came from the heart. I hope people who read this will be able to feel the words in a way that can inspire them. XO
