For the rest of the readers I didn't lose (lol) if you look deep in your heart you will find a time in your youth that changed you. Dramatically. That's exactly what this poem is about.
I offer no remorse for my feelings and will not deal with drama.
Forever Fifteen
I'm still 15 years old
Heart broken and distressed
fresh wound
I'm the same girl
with the same heart
salty tears
My 15 year young soul
has long been lost.
too many pills
Pills to remember
how to forget-
the breaking inside
Before years of attempted suicide
and the meds that followed
I was whole
Somewhere inside I'm 15
inspired by joy and tragedy-
but ever motionless
When the pills don't work
I'm a hollow shell
I crawl inside to be 15
to contemplate another try-
gas, water or gun.
Pick your poison, love
I always find my way out of Hell
to the realities of life
The thought is ever inside.
First mixed media art in months.
It's a beautiful kick in the gut. Thank you for sharing! *hugs*
