it eased the pain and the strife
then it reversed into hate so quickly,
and slowly destroyed my life.
I used to be normal young and happy
i looked at the good and not the bad
the glass was half full and never half empty
i always learned to love what i had
but now i hate this thing ,
that ive become ,
always so angry
ready to fire like my gun
and STILL being treated
like a defenslesss baby
only makes things worst ,
im not gonna shatter ,
when one thing goes wrong
holding me back will make me burst.
I used to see things
so perfect and good
now the only thing that i see ,
is the broken image , all tattered and torn
of the girl i used to be. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 61 [informant] => imalive_enoughsaid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

This poem is awesome and the message is very clear. I think its so wonderful when a poet can project their feelings and especially their emotions within their poetic creations both positive and negative. Emotion is emotion and when created into poetry it becomes Perfection. Great job and You have many, many wonderful fans to lean on when you need some comfort. Your Friend MickeyPigKnuckles :o)

Interesting....continual reflections on the past. I have no doubt that the girl you used to be is still the girl you are today. It's probably just marred by circumstances, bad, horrible circumstances. Once you find what it is inside of you that's disguised who you really are, you'll be able to go back to the great girl deep down inside of you. Plus, you have the desire and passion it takes to change. Good luck.

I was like this when I was younger. I always tried to look at the good side to problems and try to find a way to be happy all the time. But over time, I was hurt so much that all I had left was to be angry. I ended up hating myself. You can't always be happy, but you can do things to make yourself happy. There will always be bad times but be strong and you will get through them. Great Write!!
