All That's Left Of Yesterday

The pain I felt was consuming me whole.
I tried to run but the emptiness of depression sucked me in.
I want to die, God take my soul.
I know in the end suicide will win.

But then suddenly the pain had stopped!
As I woke from a dream one day.
I dreamt I died, as the bloody knifed dropped.
It's like I was reborn this day.


I woke up to children's happy laughter.
School is out to play.
The sad rain clouds will come after.
Rain is coming this way.

My mother is in the other room,
Tears burning down her pale face she's not OK.
The pain and depression coming back to consume.
What awfulness happened this day?

The trees outside whisper death,
Among the clouds of despair.
The rain pours down the clouds have wept.
Speak a word I not dare.

My mother screams to men in my room.
"shes not breathing,wake her up!"
I walk in to find burning doom.
I see my body, laid up.

Tubes in my throat forcefully shoved down.
Trying to pump air into my still chest!
"Hello I'm here!,Can't you see me around?"
Screams a doomed soul, never to rest.

They take my cold body wrapped in a bag away.
I Huddle in a cold dark corner.
Maybe if I close my eyes and gracefully pray.
This morbid dream my mind made up will be over.

"I'm not broken,I am fine"
I told my mother over again.
But it's seems I finally crossed the line.
This death is no pretend.

"Hello mother i'm here please don't cry."
I am a image that you should not fear.
I am gods everlasting lie.
But mothers gone now,no more tears.

I look out the window hello I'm still here.
The children play beyond the gate,its another day.
I've lost the warmth, the love i held dear.
I'm All that's left of yesterday.

    This one gave me shivers! Your rhyming is smooth and the poem flows slowly in time with the song. I love how you intertwined some lyrics in it. It's very dark and sad, and her emotions are well described.

    My favorite stanza. I love the imagery; the poem's so descriptive and melancholy. Great write and thanks for entering
