MY POETRY

Location

Germany

So many times

They made promises

To keep you in their prayers

When they say they pray

With an ‘A’

When it’s actually with an ‘E’

Be careful,

When the crowd gets larger on you

Are they there to pray or prey?

A or E, the second letter is a blunder.

 

 

So many times

You pack up to leave

Never wanted to look back

But you turn to scratch your back

And the contemplation travel backward

Down the empty aisles to yesterday

Torn by the scars, you still breakdown today

The pain inside aching from that day

No wonder you woke up covered with sweats undercovers

Your hands freezing, your heart shivers

I still wonder why we sleep undercovers

when panic attacks are there to find us.

 

 

I know

You’re tired but not defeated

Your breath squeezed; your lungs deflated

The loneliness inside making your heart humiliated

Tricking your mind with suicidal thoughts granted

Not afraid of going six feet underground

But you are just scared of getting old

And it doesn’t feel new anymore.

 

 

And you still wonder

How you made it this far?

For all I know is that you are a fighter

I know it’s been tough, but you made it through

And I am proud of you

Depressed and you hate

Anxiety at moments you know you’ve debated

And pour all hatred on that day

You came into this earth.

 

 

If I have one wish

I’d wish your heart be emptied of sadness

And filled with heavens

If you still wonder

Why you pack up to leave but still looked back

It’s because you can never pack your heart

Right In front of the mirror thinking you are ugly

While the reality is that you are a superstar

Only the scars tell the tales stuck on your lips

Sorry for not being there for you

When you were at your lows

And if I am not here for you today

I hope my poetry is there for you

Even when I am not.
