the emptiness inside me, feels dull...there is no pain. tears well up inside me. don't cry...there is no gain. the day is cold and windy. sades and tones of gray. the world is dull and colorless like the game of life i play. the chilling of the sun is cold, there is no heat. the emotions blur together as tears drop to my feet. tears are gently flowing, falling steadily down my face. i shiver as a gust of wind blows swiftly through the place. i cry a million teardrops, then i hold the rest inside. i'll act so brave and be so tough. my feelings, i will hide. so i let the world close around me, 'till there's nothing left at all. and for fear my emotions come out, i build myself a wall. i put a wall around me, so no one else can see. i close it up real tightly, and alone is where i'll be. i'm shut off from the world. alone, i scream and shout. i'm trapped inside this tiny wall, wanting to get out. so please tear down this divider. brick-by-brick, tear it apart. let me out of this lonely wall. and let me share my heart.
Reason for writing:
i wrote this when my brother was killed. i sort of slipped
away from the world and everyone. i felt alone, even though
most of my friends tried to be there for me. they couldn't
feel what i was feeling, and they had no clue how i felt, so
i just kept to myself. now i'm not depressed like that
anymore. expressing myself in poetry really helped me come
out of that depression!
