If only to feel alive.

by Jenn   Apr 20, 2012


Who cares that I'm hurt,
Who cares if I cry.
I've always been like this,
Unable to feel alive.

Like a shadow, I fall behind.
Wanting so badly to truly be fine.
I hold my head up, confidence I portray.
Happiness sadness, in the middle of the fray.

I know I have hope, but I can not feel.
My mind vilifys me, and the world disregards.
Falling to my knees, looking to the stars.
Once again I'm Hurt.

I know I have courage, but it will not muster.
All the pain inside, my souls seems flustered.
Can't breathe, feeling smothered.
Once again I'm crying.

Who cares that I'm hurt. I do.
Who cares if I cry. I do.
I will achieve my goal, I'll pay the toll.
If only to feel alive.

    The sudden change of emotion, fron depression to hopefulness was quite unexpected. Really well-written.

    "Like a shadow, I fall behind."
    Really like this part. you should add more simile and metaphors in your poems, i really like that..

    Overall a nice read and very uplifting. 5/5 :)
