Too Deep For Tears

The meaning is kept deep inside
And unspoken because of the secrets
It reveals and the shame it attacks.
Lonely nights I stay up crying
Myself to sleep, the pain and
Shame of neglect and the lonesome
Feeling leaves me no escape.
All my life I was taught to be strong
And I was prevented from expressing
My inner feelings about my situation
Nobody has a clue of my sudden
Despair when they look
Into my hidden eyes
Night after day I remember feeling
Empty like a black whole was
Consuming me cell by cell
Unable to express my self
Wanting to just give up
Wondering how to make it all go away
Being a prisoner of my own childhood,
I discover a bright red scream
It gives me a definition of why
And most of all control
Over my own body
It feels good to be in control
Of my pain at last
After every obsession was over
And I was stated for a while,
I would sit and wonder how
It would feel for all of my pain
To just fade away forever
But I just didn't know how to
Make it all go away and never come back.
The more I mutilation the more
I realized that no one could ever
Hurt me again,
As much as I could hurt my self
I kept the mapping of the
Way I felt deep inside.
It was beautiful to me, but
I wanted to protect everyone
Around me from what was going
On inside of me,
So I kept it a secret.
I'm trying to dance with my dreams
But I can't get the steps down.
My silent partner who seems to
Cease all of my pain was now addicted to me.
It was like an obsession
But I felt that that was too good for me.
That I deserved everything
Bad in the world and that
Death would grant me the
Peace I didn't deserve.
I wanted to kill the most important
Person in the world, but then
I found out suicide was a crime.


The author's comments:
I am a girl with long black hair
Who sparkles in unique clothes
Who feels lonely sometimes
I don't ask to be understood
Because I cant even understand myself
I ask to be accepted
I ask to be accepted as I am
I don't want to be told what potential I have
Or what my future holds
I don't want to be told that
I'm not going anywhere in life
Because I skipped a class
I question my existence
My meaning
I question what the, 'real world', is
And why I'm not there
I feel happy with no shoes on
I feel lonely in a room full of people
Sometimes my heart bleeds
And I cry
My enemies voice echoes in my head
Like a little girl screaming for help In a giant
Empty room
I'm told to be different and to
Be my self
But then I am told
What to do and say
I love to write and I don't
Worry about rumors
I don't know hot to sing awesome
But I sing out of passion
My name doesn't matter
My heart is open
So are my wings
But I haven't learned how to fly yet
Please don't try to understand me or judge me quickly
I hope the world will see
What some have already seen
I'm an amazing person
Just striving to follow my dreams.
This poem was written to just help me cope with what was going on inside of me since no body could understand me, not even myself.
