Razorblade Relapse

by AmberSherrellxxIve Been Sitting Here Trying To Find Myselfxx   Feb 22, 2008


The wind blows roughly, rain in the air
She stares up at the clouds, breeze tussling her hair
Her brown eyes are vacant, no emotion is perceived
She usually seems happier but don't be deceived

She's like the calm before the storm, waiting to pour
She's bottling everything up but she can't take anymore
Her walls are getting taller but she's fixing to fall apart
So many emotions she has hidden, deep within her heart

Like the calm before the storm, everything's at peace
But it won't be very long until her fury is released
Taking deeper breathes, counting slowly to ten
Trying to stop the wrath that is warring within

Her muscles are tensing, her pretty face is void
Everything around her is fixing to be destroyed
One too many times, her heart has been shattered
She blames it all on you because it didn't seem to matter

Like the calm before the storm, she seems okay
But her self restraint is starting to decay
The winds are getting rougher, the lightning strikes
Nothing will go untouched, no one will be alright

Her rage is like a tornado, destroying everything in its path
Her heart is like a surging river, filled with sorrow and wrath
The wind picks up speed and the neon lightning strikes
She stares out the window, knowing she's not alright

The storm is here now, filled with anger and pain
She final fails to restrain, losing everything she fought to gain
Like a twig within the storm, she finally snaps
Falling farther and farther, razorblade relapse

    This poem was very deep, and I felt it! The flow was a little shaky though... The word choice was great, and the concept was brilliant. I think this could've been written a little differently to make it more effective... *just my opinion don't take offense* Overall, great write 5/5! Keep it up :P
