Child’s Cry You can hear a piercing cry fill the depths of night Echoing to the whole world Making your heart turn solid as ice So cold, it makes you numb All emotions totally forgotten all except hatred A young girl in her dark desolate room Eyes so red they burn the darkness Tears roll down her cheek A sorrowful face Covered by her black hair Like a wall that kept her from reality How could one so young strike such terror in your heart? Her cries unlock the gates of forbidden lands Where your mind never dares to ever wander For fear of letting the ones you love see the gloom The grief inside you starts to cry back Why so much sorrow…daughter of earth? She clutches her bedspreads with formidable force The blanket of protection, the firewall is gone The side of brokenness is open for the world to see A personality that no one has discovered Perfection…left her usual calm complexity An emo girl He heart torn by the ones she loves Cruelty Malice Ignorance Ridicule Mockery Deception Haunting the thoughts of her fictitious reality Living a world where happiness is a total lie Her poems filled with sweetness, covered with sugar Music that inspired the human soul Everyone thought that she was in total control Caring and kind…she smiled and comforted Unconditional love Laughter erupted from her angel-like body Perfect…the word people said to her Modesty…is her response No one in this world is perfection Ugh, those words would sicken her A disease that coursed through her veins ‘Causing her to despise herself more and more No one could see her crying out for help Inside a cry of a child that was only five A thirteen year old oh, so desperate Helping everyone…but not even time for herself This life of illusion she truly wanted to wish away Gazing into her eyes…into her thoughts A happiness so untrue it was stained by her lies She led a double life But she changed herself to the ground No wind blew to let her fly free She was a bird with broken wings Caused by her own recklessness and stupidity Tonight her bottle of sadness was poured out There for no one to see but the ghost of her Past Present Future The tears that have been stored within her tainted soul Until it is close to overflowing Is this all worth living for…to keep on going? Too many regrets filled her chaotic mind Regrets that shattered her heart to tiny pieces She wished that her wrist were bleeding Just to stop this pain from beating Something shiny glimmered in the solitude of her room One last breathe until she says goodnight Falling limp upon her bed…eyes close forever more You will never hear a child’s cry ever |
