She walks the earth
Fearing she holds the love of no man
My reality is that she no longer knows
Who I am inside
Seduced by the life of someone else
Others forgotten and unenchanted
My unwritten soul remains alone
Just like her's, just like she is now
I wish the earth would grant her peace
Grant her the love she begs and pleads for
I will stand my ground beside her
Though she never sees, never understands
I forget sometimes the life we had before
I never wanted to break free from her chains
Those she never knew existed
But the pain I've felt has slowly faded away..
I walk the earth
Calling to the sky for one more chance
To be stronger for one more day
To be who I am inside

I think there's a grammatical error in line 8. It's maybe supposed to be "hers" instead of "her's". I feel like crying when reading this. You are so good with words! I've lost my ability lately, maybe reading your stuff will help me get it back.

Nicely done and very well written. Your word choice was very nice, it held me in to keep reading more. During my first read through i thought "for" in line 10 kinda threw of the poems flow, but after re-reading it it was my imagination. Well done good luck in the contest!!!

I really like this, and knowing a little more of your living situation it makes a lot of sense to me. Awesome write.
