THIS NIGHTMARE

by Samantha - Scorpio


Through these years I’ve learned to be tough
To fight my way through the hurt
And the pain
And no matter what, I always had it hidden;
I’ve cried myself a river
Flowing through the steady solitude of a girl without a home
I’ve fought back with fists
Beating down the walls that had protected me from myself
I’ve stood alone
Through this hell
Through this nightmare
Through this life I did not choose
And yet I held my hand out to all that had entered
Trying to, in some way, receive the help that I knew that I needed all along
But they all would just walk through the doors
Never looking back
Never noticing my tears
And walking upon my dreams as they would a red carpet
Showing them the way to happiness;
Often times I would glance into the eyes of someone who would show me mercy
Show that they care
Or that they’d fulfill my needs by being there and listening
But something would happen
Causing them to drift away
Onto better things
Away from me
Away from my life
Away from my hell.
