~*For the many years I lost, wasted away on pain others and myself caused.*~
All I am is shadow.
A girl with hope long lost.
All I am is wonder.
At many people's cost.
All I am is worry.
About a future not so far away.
All I am is weakness.
Afriad, with so much to say.
All I am is yearning.
Among a crowd of the lonely.
All I am is different.
Always me, me solely.
All I was was left behind.
Asking to come home.
All I was was hurt.
Allowed to merely be a clone!
All I was was nothing.
Always still the same.
All I was was silent.
And I knew life was no game.
All I was was crying out.
Alas, for the love of fate.
All I was was compassion.
Although no one knew about my unlocked mental grate.
All I will be is empty.
Aflame, the same as the time before.
All I will be is a failure.
Asking myself: why? why did I close the door?
All I will be is a wreck.
An experiment of life.
All I will be is crushed.
At my wits end, like a broken knife.
All I will be...is lonely...
Assumed to be dead inside...
All...I will be...is BROKEN...
All BECAUSE the MADNESS would not END, even AFTER I died on the OUTSIDE...

FIRST POEM OF '06!!! Yeah, ok. This took me almost an hour to write. It was tough. I was looking back on my memories about preschool, when I met up again after 5 years with my bff from preschool, when I broke my arm when I was 4, when i was bullied, and blah blah blah blah blah. You probably don't want to know. This is the first time in a while I've had pure, genuine inspiration for a poem. I was going to write one anyways, but this came from the heart for no reason. My class has to read poems to the rest of the class, and I've chosen to read this one. (Ray Soleanna ROCKS!)
