[bodytext] => Living in my nightmare In a world full of hate Where we just lay in the dark For death, we silently wait We each have a story to tell Full of anger, tragedy and despair Living in this **** up place Which treats us so unfair Brian was my best friend In some ways he was just like me Dealing with depression That no one else could see His parents treated him like sh!t He hid his screwed up life well Everyone thought he was perfect But he was living through hell His dad was an alcoholic And his mum didn't even care Despite his home life For me, he was always there Then he gave up They found him the next day He slit his wrists in bed I watched them carry his body away Then there’s Katie Her parents died when she was five Memories haunt her Of when they were alive She has nightmares every night And cries almost every day Cuts her fragile wrists Pretending everything’s okay Every single night She wishes upon a star Prays to god up above To take her soul somewhere far Lauren has bulimia She’s as beautiful as can be But when she looks in the mirror A overweight girl is all she sees She makes herself sick In desperate hope That someone might help her Because she really cant cope Her parents have high expectations And she has to live up to this part As their perfect baby girl But its tearing her apart Matt’s dad died last year A bullet to the chest He witnessed it all Saw his dad take his last breath Now he’s in trouble Almost every day Getting into fights at school And pushing everyone away He’s lost and confused And not sure what to do Angry and messed up Lost faith in god too Jamie was raped Her innocence stolen away From her own flesh and blood Her cousin, who came to stay He held her down No one heard her tortured screams She kept trying to wake up From what seemed like a dream And now she’s pregnant She cant handle the stress She feels ashamed And really depressed She hates herself And what she’s become All cause of what he did He had his fun You wonder now Why my own story remains untold Why I haven’t told you About the horror that my life holds I wont say a word About what I live through each day Cause what good would it do There’s nothing you can do Nothing you can say So ill live my live With my cursed friends just like me As we dwell here in the shadows Desperate to be free Longing for the sun To chase our troubles away To bathe us in light But here in the shadows we’ll stay [comments] => 3 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Living_In_My_Dream [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
