lauren-ehrler4thepoets - Hello Poetry

Silent screams begging for life, dying on my lips. Empty emotions crying for love, burning in my heart. Torn thoughts craving stability, leaking out of me. I'm a mess of opposites burning inside, trying to come out of sealed box. I am nothing and everything all at once. I feel found and lost, close yet so far from everything I crave. Everything is clear and yet nothing makes sense.

Silent screams

Silent screams begging for life, dying on my lips. Empty emotions crying for love, burning in my heart. Torn thoughts craving stability, leaking out of me. I'm a mess of opposites burning inside, trying to come out of sealed box. I am nothing and everything all at once. I feel found and lost, close yet so far from everything I crave. Everything is clear and yet nothing makes sense.

My only comfort as my tears fall with the water Is the fact that I'm scrubbing away his hands, His touch, His lips, His skin. Washcloth against skin, Red erupts from my pores, But I don't care because I need to get his scent off of me. Just a whiff, and I gag, My tears congealing in my throat. Why me? What did I do? His hands were so soft, But so strong, and I could not escape. Washcloth against skin, I don't even know where to begin, For he stripped me down to the very bone And lay my soul and body naked. His fault? Yes. My fault? They'll think so. Red flows down my legs because of Washcloth against skin. I drown myself in cherry blossom body wash, The off brand kind. My last thought before I stop the water is "But I'm not even pretty."

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Take a deep breath and enjoy your life. Care about peoples approval and you will be their prisoner. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows. Be brave, take risks, nothing can substitute experience. Follow your instincts. Be curious, dream big. Love what you do. Love learning. Keep an open heart & a strong spirit. Have fun. No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you'll somehow make it. Have an unrelenting belief that things will work out, that the long road has had a purpose, that the things that you desire may not happen today, but they will happen. Continue to persist and persevere. Jon York 2019
