Consumed
Dark mornings know me best,
Know the fear I suppress.
It consumes my heart,
Constricts it tight.
Fear creates limitations. When we fear, we become incapable of taking risks, of living our lives to the fullest. Whatever fear you are facing, whether it is a fear of love, of rejection, of heartbreak, of growing up, of being forgotten, or even of the dark, remember that your fear limits you. It prevents you from growing into a stronger, better person. Try to understand your fears, for when you understand them, they no longer have a power over you. Let go of fear, express it to someone and just release it.
Dark mornings know me best,
Know the fear I suppress.
It consumes my heart,
Constricts it tight.

Sometimes
I wish that you could see
This scared girl inside of me.
I'm not really as I seem.

The light I find in life is only temporary.
Each day gets harder with each breath I take.
The days grow, and I become wary,
For this feeling of woe I cannot shake.
The man at the door,
I fear his every word,
For they pierce my heart
Like he stabbed it with a sword.
Trees, trees, trees
Branches, sticks, leaves
Whipping, gashing, slashing at my arms
I can't get away no matter how fast I run...
What a beautiful poem, one that so many of us can relate to, especially when "relating to" anyone or anything seems like an impossibility. Fabulous ending. Well done!

She's beautiful, she's pretty
She's really such a sight
Nobody can see by her appearance
She's really not alright...

Painfully aware, of all my peers
The pain, the pressure, creates real fears
Trying to escape so many eyes and ears...
This poem literally describes me at home and school. Very, very nice that someone else was able to describe these feelings, as I could hardly get out a couple words! Bravo.
13 years old and I'm living in fear
Father, I know you're ashamed of what's going on down here
Lord, I'm afraid of going astray
That's why I pray to you father every day...
