Red and Black
Author: BeautifulRegretBroken into peices...my heart, my sanity, my being. I can't seem to stop the crying. And there you lie...so inoccently...so cold. Am I dreaming? High above myself I watch...waiting...waiting for it all to fade to black.
I'm seeing red today...someone please explain. This isn't really happening...is it? Have I completely lost my mind? When my mind is all I have left...what shall I do now? My heart and soul were ripped away from me years ago. He keeps them in a box in his closet. Or has he long since thrown them in the garbage?
Please just wake up! I can't stand these crazed thoughts! I don't know who I am anymore. Can you tell me? Just keep it together...you can do it. They'll never know that anything is wrong. Paint on that smile...hold that head high...try not to cry. I've done this for so long now...this should be natural. Am I normal? Here comes that red again...please turn black...

You seem to express yourself well. I can feel your confussion, sadness, hurt, anger, etc. It is ok to not always smile and to cry sometimes. Also, good that you can write about your feelings and vent. Getting it out helps alot. This is a safe place with caring people that will understand. Your poem is very good and sad too. Thank you for sharing your poem for others to enjoy. I will be keeping you in my prayers. Peace and Hugs!

I like it too. A fustrated scream in three paragraphs, it's good. I'd babysit for you if I could. Who wants to be normal anyway, you've got talent, that's better then normal!
