And I'm Told To Smile.

I shut out the light of your careless replies,
why don't you come sit by me-
in the corner where I release myself,
waiting for the fairytale to end-
and reality to begin.

I swore this would crush me-
and we fell from the high pedestal,
you didn't even try to save me,
whilst I faded like the ones before me,
which you promised didn't matter.

"I chose every word I knew could hurt,"
to counter your poor excuses,
and I watch my days fade away,
my loneliness bury me,
and before I know,
I'm left behind-
not liking what I have become.

Just Like Before


xx As hell greets you my friend.

    They say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger - probably true, though it doesn't make the pain any easier when we're suffering. The trick is to defend your self-esteem before anything else. The problem is well explained in your poem.

    btw.: 'pedalstool' did you mean 'pedestal' ? Hope you don't mind the question.

    Love it... it's great! Keep it up. I even still feel like this sometimes; sadly.

    you should try some optimistic ones? For me?

    I really love this!!
    It completely wraps you in it! It's quick, and I have certainly lived this! Certainly lived the shame of love win, love lied and then love lost. It always leaves me untouched. I wonder sometimes if I'll ever get better. If I'll ever love myself.

    You have inspired me. Thank you.
