Bathroom Sanctuary

Crying in the bathroom,
so no one can see my tears.
Shower running cold,
curled in a ball no one sees the fear.

Alone in my own world,
lonely are the dreams.
The dreams that were once mine,
sighlently only I hear my screams.

Hope left my heart,
ripping and bleeding.
My soul left scarred,
wanting and needing.

I used to feel alive,
and now once again numb.
Trust no longer I can do,
I cant belive what I've become.

Lies and hidden secrets,
I can't seem to bear the pain.
Ignorance is bliss,
it's what keeps you sane.

Nothing ever makes sense,
and it never will.
Sometimes I am numb,
and then all at once I feel.

Shattering pain writhes through me,
and once again my veins ache.
Trying to bear the pain,
I continue on for thier sake.

    Ohhh hun.. I absolutely feel this poem to my core! I know these feelings so very well.. hiding ones pain, putting on the brave face, yet tearing apart in side. And the numbing out... psychic shutdown can be a protection, but when it fails us, look out! The pain can be unbearable...

    This really tore at my heart... It was such raw emotion and feelings left on the page... you have bared your soul here. I hope this write was somewhat healing for you.

    Beautifully written, terribly sad!

    i feel this

    The flow is great, the imagery sad, and creatively stated... but the impressive part to this write was the pain it conveyed... i can relate to the feeling behind it, oh god can i relate... i hope you're ok... i know it's not easy to get passed it... if you read my writes you'll know i'm having trouble getting passed it myself... anyways, excellent write Julzzz... I missed your writes...

    very very well written

    this is a really good dark and sad piece, you easily pass your feelings to the reader and you get him sucked in that state of mind and of heart that you were going through..

    "Lies and hidden secrets,
    I can't seem to bear the pain.
    Ignorance is bliss,
    it's what keeps you sane."

    great piece.. thx for sharing
