The Scene You Think You Know

by SmileeItsBritt   Feb 28, 2007


Curtain rises, start the scene
Are you ready for the show?
You thought you wrote the storyline
But theres so much you don't know

As the world begins to crumble
I watch myself fade out
These tears are overwhelming me
And I'm drowning in my doubts

As my hope begins to shatter,
I watch myself fall down
I need someone to save me from myself
Yet I scream without a sound

As my heart begins to break,
I start to watch me disappear
Suffocating to end this war
But reality deprives me of much needed air

As reality sets in
I watch myself begin to feel
The truth of life's brutality
Forces my heart to never heal

As the tears begin to fall
I watch myself give in
You see it too, but turn away
The truth is, we'll never win

As the disappointment surfaces
I watch myself begin to bleed
These red tears begin to fall
For my heart has been deceived

Curtains closed, wait for applause
A happy ending filled with lies
As we take a look behind the scenes,
I slowly start to die.

    That was very good. I love it. Though I would of liked it better in stanzas, it's still a 5/5. Well done!

    Amazing. Thats it. Lol nothing else to it. I absolutely loved it! The title got me hooked. Lol then I read it and I was overly surprised. I wasn't expecting something so good. Your ending was wonderfull. The last few sentances were my favorite. The only thing I would change about this is that there are no stanzas and so it looks a bit overwhealming. Other then that it is perfect. Great job. Keep it. And thank you for the comment.

    God bless

    The flow wasnt all that great in the first 2, 3 lines but it got better. But other than that I loved it!
