At times I don't even know where I'm supposed to be going
I'm stuck inside a room, looking from a window to where I've been
All these friends who promise to be there to support you
Suddenly, they'll always go vanishing with the wind
When you have nothing to lose, and still expect to lose
Who do you look to, then?
When everybody treats you like you're nothing
Who can you really call a friend?
Late night stressing, overthinking and I'm guessing
Can happiness ever last?
Because there are days when it's really here
But always remains inside the past
You know, I've given it everything I got
But I always seem to fall and crash
If life really gives you free lessons
Then I'm failing this class
Can I ask for a chance to start again?
I've been gradually losing this sight again
Been running close on empty
I don't think I can ever start this drive again
It's hard to achieve something, where no one sees you succeed
I sever ties with the closest ones who never believed in me
I've been broken down to pieces over a silly dream, it seems
I love the fact, how my heart was ripped out for believing in me
From the start, it was just myself and all the places I've been

I thought the first night was gonna be the last.

Now I wish it was.

We could have left our hopes and dreams there and then.

Instead we had to see them shatter in front of our eyes.

How can we dream by staying awake?
How can we get lost without being lost?
How can we keep a secret without keeping it?
How do we keep a dream burning?

All get lost but only some get to wander
We cannot keep a secret by telling someone
Just like how we cannot keep a dream burning
by being a living waterfall
"Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization you cant be all you wanted to be, you just might have need to settle for a little bit less" this is a line from the book love, Rosie and it's just a perfect quote like it's an explanation for my poem. There are dreams that are meant to stay as dreams and nothing else.

Why is it that when things seem picture perfect
That it is then when the picture frame shatters?
I will come back to fill this in since I am at work currently. As always feel free to comment or send me a message. Have a good day everyone!

You can Bottle your feelings all you want,
But one day the Bottle is going to shatter and you are going to be left with the shards
This has happened to me too many times.

Cellulite
Carriage
Back *****
Sagging
Glass won't shatter
Lens can't demonize
Deprecate
Soft serve
Despise
Flesh form
I won't crumble
Just age
Gaze can't shatter gaze can't shatter
Gaze can't shatter
Me
And I recite, face looking back in fear

Porcelain bodies are hovering over
me and my shattered remains, yet here you
are, in your soft beauty, pulling my shards
together with thread into a palpable
stretch of thought. Who would have thought that beauty
like you would see this in a pile of
dust that was left to disperse?
~~ From a long time ago. Keep cleaning me up. ~~

Wellbeing is an illness that plagues my mind
regardless of what others believe it to be.
~~ The echoing sound of shattering which you heard so softly in the distance was the sound of me trying to break myself. ~~

HIM
He had the power to both possess and shatter my entire universe, so he chose the latter. But he didn't know that it wasn't that easy to break me.

Someone please, help me.
I'm in little broken pieces
On the ground.
Like a doll,
Angrily thrown by
A grieving mother;
A mother that lost her little girl.
I am that little girl, I suppose.
In some form or another,
My mother has lost me;
So has my father,
And my sisters and friends.
They don't know where
The happy, lovely me went.
I've been replaced by pain,
Depression, and dark thoughts.
I wear a painted face,
Just like a doll,
That hides my pain and sorrow.
I don't want them disappointed
In the new me;
The one that has consumed
All of the good and love,
And replaced it with harm and anger.
Someone please, I'm begging you.
Shatter me against the wall.
Make me the target,
Because I deserve it.
