“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

I can't move on

I can't forget

I can't be happy

I can pretend.

I paint on this smile 

Over my frown

The frown that you caused me

Each time you pushed me down.

I walk

I talk

I laugh 

I hurt.

I scream for help

You've got me trapped in your world

I can't find my way out.

Draw me a map

Show me the way 

So I can get out

I'm not ready to meet my fate.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

So many of your poems, I can connect to a lot. I can connect to this, a lot. I used to scream to for help. I used to be trapped in someone else's world, but then. Someone drew me the map, and showed me the way. Haha, sorry. This sounds like a rambling, carzy girl. Which is true, but I apologize for sounding even more crazy, haha. Sorry. Thank you so much, for sharing this. I love this. :) You are amazing.
