your wake up call

I will make it through the rain, I will get there on my own, knowing that in the end I'll still stay strong
We're living in a world where people will look down at you
for apologizing and admitting your mistakes;
they want you to feed your burden with only more guilt;
more than you can handle.
Because, the truth is,
your weakness feeds their ego.
As your weakness feeds their ego,
all you hear from them is laughter because you're the one
who takes it all.
No matter what, you're always the one to be blamed on;
you are always the one to feel that shame you never caused.
As everyday goes by, you force yourself to wear a mask on your face
to show those people that, you are ok
but everyone can see through that mask;
your eyes show loneliness.
Loneliness fills their ego too,
so in the end you feel like your thoughts and emotions are not
benefiting you but they most certainly feed your enemies.
We are living in a world where there will be friends who do stick by you,
and help you recover from some deep scars of the past,
however,
there are times when your whole world turns black and white,
then you see their true colours.
Your mind then tells you
"this can't be right;
why am I alone when I need their help?
why is it that I'm calling them and they just don't look back to help me?
why do they always give me 'the hand' and say
'I'm busy', when, I have that feeling in my heart telling me, it's a lie?
You then can't help but fall down on your knees helpless as
though your burdens have made you physically fall,
when you know the reality is that,
all those problems are in your head,
how can they make you physically fall?
After that fall, you then get a little 'twitch' inside of you;
that twitch makes you rise your face and feel that sting in your heart.
That twitch is reality telling you painfully;
"this person really isn't your friend"
as that lesson hits you in your heart,
it also makes you get up and walk your journey alone.
The truth is, once something has been let go of,
it's God chance to give you something new.
This is when reality awakens you.

Very good, writing poetry is very cathartic, be true to thy self, never worry about what other's think, there will always be good and bad in this world. handshake
