Life.

Sometimes in life,

I pause where I stand and take a breath,

Forgetting about my sorrows and strife.

For once not fearing death.

 

Sometimes I live,

Like the seed of a tree,

Not needing to forget, or forgive,

Just flying around; free.

 

Sometimes I lie,

Just to get people off my back.

I'm feeling upset because of a guy,

But it's not like many people really give a crap.

 

Sometimes I cry,

Because I want to let out the stress I have

Over that one guy,

Who is just a chav.

 

Sometimes I smile

Because once in a great while,

He makes my happy

Even though at the same time he makes me life ******

 

Sometimes I shake,

I can't handle what's really at stake;

Loosing someone like you,

Is something I can't live through.

 

Sometimes I want to scream;

You did break my heart

And I'm only happy in dreams,

Where we're not living worlds apart.

 

Sometimes I want to yell,

Because you feel compelled,

To keep secretes from me,

As if it'll keep from making bad memories.

 

Sometimes, I feel the pain

You caused with a knife,

Through my heart's vain's.

Nearly ending the meaning of my life.

 

And yet,

Somehow. . .

 

 

Somehow in life,

I pause where I sit,

Taking a breath, no longer feeling the knife,

Planted there by some twit.
