life

life You eat, you sleep, you die. You live, you breath, you cry. You feel, you love, you break. I don't know how much more I can take. You give, you suffer, you regret. Him, I wish I'd never met. You're happy, you're glad, you rejoice. Too bad it was the wrong choice. You fall when he leaves, you're heart crumbles. When you cling to your love, he just stumbles. You fight, you lose, he wins. And life without him begins. You try, you persist, but you fail. You try to move on, but you do not prevail. You're weak, you're lost and you're alone. You try to apologize, but no one's home. You struggle, in pain, to start anew. But the gibes from his friends stick like glue. You wait, you grow, and you hide. You watch others take your place by his side. They laugh, they love, and they are truly living. Lacking the knowledge that he'll destroy the heart they're giving. Time goes on, life goes on, and the pain gradually reduces. You become thankful for the knowledge the experience produces. The sad songs you listen to grow old. Apparently you're not the only one to suffer this, or so you're told. You are tortured, more than possible, but endure in silence. When he sees you, he takes your suffering like the gift of sweetest incense. The time you spend alone is spent crying. Your parents have begun questioning and prying. Every night slowly turns to a morning with blue skies. Someone, something, somewhere has heard your cries. You begin to see through all the lies. In truth, you discover, you have not suffered that many goodbyes. You heal, life goes on, you realize life is not so lowly. Your life begins to bloom into happiness slowly. You grow, you strengthen, you learn. You realize that it's companionship you yearn. Your stubborn heart will not choose another. And he makes sure all your confidence is smothered. You want, you crave, you need. But your mind is so fragile it heeds, The lies he's fed to others, The gossip that has even reached their mothers, You care, you love, you repair, The reputation he's destroyed, his friends doing their share. Now, even your home in the shadows rejects you. Your beating heart, and unwilling body just barely connects you. To the school, the city, and the support that supposedly protects you. They don't seem to notice your presence anymore. Over the vast sea of pain and suffering, you can finally glimpse the shore. You realize, that the pain is not unbearably immense, You have grown strong enough hence, Your life may begin to return to its' original place, Your true friends except you back with grace, When he sees you happy he becomes bemused, Though everybody around you refused. Nobody will speak out, Against the neglect of attention without, You confronting this teenage devil, But you refuse to stoop to his level. It takes a lot to forget the pain, And your strength is putting him to shame, And everybody sees reality, And you decide to become Miss Congeniality. He becomes the outcast, And you are finally over this sea of pain that was so vast. click here to go to the next page of the story
