The Voices In My Head

"Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens to wash it white as snow?" Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act III, scene iii, lines 46 - 47

Innocence -
I never realized just how precious it is
Until mine was stolen from me;
It is irreplaceable and priceless
And I can never have mine back.

Trust -
There is a mutual trust among colleagues,
And I thought we were friends;
He stole my naive innocence,
And he stole my childlike faith in mankind.

Adulthood -
I have been forced to grow up,
And I hate it;
I don't want this heavy burden,
But I must now balance this cumbersome load to fit my life.

Love -
I have found it,
Not with him,
But with friends and family.
I am loved.

Hate -
I want to hate him but I can't
Hate and love are very similar;
They take passion
And he means absolutely nothing to me.

Release -
I want to screamhitkickcrydie,
But I won't;
I am strong,
And I will make it.

Life -
Is worth living
There are two kinds of people in this world:
Victims and survivors,
And I'm a survivor.

Author notes

I wrote this for a class assignment; I had missed a bunch of class so my teacher said I could write a poem about what was going on in my life at the time, as she knew that I'd been having some issues. This is why it probably seems kinda forced; the emotions are true, but it wasn't really flowing.
