Girl---unwanted Mar 2014
So much has changed since childhood
No more kisses goodnight
No more night lights
No more mommy and daddy

No more tucks into bed
No more "don't let the bed bugs bite"
No more XOXOs, or "I love you"
No more "see ya later alligator"
No more hugs, or kisses

Still afraid
Afraid of the dark.
Still needing the night light
To keep me lite, and bright with innocence

Afraid of the monsters under the bed
All the innocence is gone
Still there are monsters
Except they are mine

All alone
Still with monsters
My own monsters,
that haunt and terrorize me

All alone
Surrounded by monsters
Some my own
Most are the people is the world

Where is the light,
That keeps burning bright
That keeps my innocence alive
I need that night light back
Before my light goes completely out

my tears
clear, but salty
showing my sadness
showing my emotions

my fears, my anger, my hurt
my tears
show the way to my heart
the window to my soul,
to my heart,

i shed these tears
Are you ever gonna listen
Listen to these tears
The tears I cry at night
LISTEN
before I'm

i just wanna run
hide away
don't try to chase me down
i know you don't care
I'm sick of feeling cheap
cheated and abused
i just wanna run
hide and wait
my emotions
can't take it anymore
my heart hurts
now i'm throwing you away
all these memories
are in the past
you chased me away

freeing, salty
tears i cry
taste like the ocean
haunting

when will i be set free

the ocean
contains my tears
salty, bitter, cold
haunting me

set me free

trying
hiding her fears
no trust. given up hope
tying to love again, needing
some love
Girl---unwanted Feb 2014
I am like the leaves on the ground;
the bones in the grave,
Dead
As I sit as motionlessly
as a tall brown oak,
Eyes dark,
stormy weather,
Lighting strikes,
thunder booms,
A tear falls
I am alive again.
I entered this poem in a contest awhile back. And I just found out that it will be published in a poetry book! My mother is not appreciative of my work. She doesnt understand the meaning of this. It hurts me. She hurts me, I hope that anyone who reads this can relate, or at least understand
