Array ( [sid] => 176703 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A broken deal [time] => 2013-08-14 12:50:39 [hometext] => I wanted to write down my thoughts in a poem, to get them out. Poetry is really starting to help with my problems and I intend to write more, I just hope no one gets tired of them... [bodytext] => "Another day passes and I'm still clean,
Surviving this long was once just a dream."
Is what I would have said if I had stopped
But every time I try, It's just been dropped.

The deal I mean, the one I made with my friend,
You know, that promise never to self harm again?
Once again, I seem to have lied
But all she says is, "Okay, at least you tried."

The longest I've lasted is just about a week,
That's because when I reached for my blade I'd hear that "Creak."
Of my mother approaching my bedroom door,
So back I put my razor in the drawer.

I truly hope that she never finds out
But now I'm seriously beginning to doubt,
That I can live this lie much longer,
Maybe I need to get just that little bit stronger?

Man up and tell her so she can give me help,
So she can understand after all this time how I've really felt.
Who am I kidding, I'll never be able to tell her,
It'd make her sad and that's really not what I would prefer.

I've decided I'm never going to tell anyone again.
I do not wish to share my pain,
Especially with the ones I hold so dear,
"Keep it all to yourself from now on, Is that clear?"

Self expression is important if someone else becomes tired of your writing don't let that be an obstacle to you as a person. It's not like we're writing for money right? Nice work :) TYFS.

A writer writes , But a poet paints a masterpiece with words, Keep painting your story, Never think people don't want to hear or may get tired of reading,!!!

Writing isnt just about who reads your poem the most important part is what writing does for YOU! Even when you feel you cant tell anyone you can still express it in a poem . you are strong enough to beat this. Thanks for sharing.
