Watching Time Go By

by Nicole   Dec 9, 2006


We all understand that life isn't easy.
We know we have to face each day.
We know we have to deal with reality,
And all the struggles that come our way.

Life can be painful.
Life can easily knock you down.
It can get so bad, you just want to let it out
And yet you're screaming without a sound.

You're restraining in all emotions,
But are ready to explode.
Can't take it anymore, about to fall apart.
how much mare are you able to hold?

You put a smile on your face
Even though you're still crying inside.
Nobody knows about the sadness, anger, and depression,
That you've been trying so hard to hide.

You're trying to fight it
Yet you're dying within
So you grab that knife...
About to commit another sin.

You know it's not the answer
But all you can do is cry.
The next minute there's blood everywhere
And all you're asking is why.

Another day comes, the next one goes,
And here comes one more.
Only wasting your life away,
Watching your own blood drip to the floor.

Lonely days, bitter nights
how can you live this way?
Crying every minute, watching time go by
Throwing your life away.

    Wow, this poem flowed soo beautifully!!! It's very sad, but so many people are able to relate to each part of the poem. (Like, putting on a fake smile to hide emotions.) I love this poem- amazing job!! Keep up the good work.
