Reminiscing On A Troubled Past

by Tammie   Oct 23, 2006


Tears stream down my saddened face
Struggling to understand life
All the hate and heartbreak
The little good there is between

Temptation to do the worst
Cutting I've done before
Only a couple of times though
When life got too hard to take

These words I write unknowingly
Scribbled messily on the page
Raw emotions running through me
Do they even make any sense?

I wish I could draw
I would sketch my heart
Tonight it re-broke
Reminiscing the past

Heartbreak and depression
This time one year ago
I was drowning in my tears
Only sorrow in my heart

These words are just flowing
This pen never to cease
Or I may give into the urge
That I know I shouldn't

I used to write poetry
When I broke down like this
That made sense and I liked
What happened, why have I changed?

My emotions are soaring
High above the white clouds
And tears keep on flowing
Like an endless river

I am plainly jealous
Of my first loves new love
I read the things he writes her
Love notes just like I once had

This breaks my mending heart
I feel alone once again
No friends here to support me
Should I give into temptation?

** This is by far one of the worst poems i have written. It sort of explains what state i was in when i wrote it, I had a bad night. **

    The topic of the poem isn't very original, but you proved to make an original poem, good work. Even though you say it was one of the worst poems you have written, I say it's great. Although the unoriginal topic takes away from the poem a bit, almost everyone has written a poem about it once or twice, so still it's a good poem. Keep up the good work.

    It wasn't that bad at all. I quite enjoyed reading it. A lot of emotion was put into it but yet a sad poem.

    Good work.

    I loved the title of this. It really brought me in and made me want to read the poem. I also loved the last two lines of the first stanza. I could definitely relate to that alot. && My most favorite part was the last two stanzas because I can relate to that so much right now. You did an amazing job on this poem! 5/5 Keep it up!
