Scattered, tattered, weathered and worn my limbs reveal the strain
This body has traveled thousands of miles for what seems to be in vain
These eyes have witnessed the rise of humanity and the painful deceit
It slips through my fingers, as it means absolutely nothing to me

Last Night
posted by Michelle in PoemsLast night I saw your fragile state and pain overtook me
My heart collapsed in my chest, I felt helpless
I cried out inside but the demons would not listen

posted by Michelle in PoemsNow is the time, to experience it all
All the suffering I’ve held inside

Holding my gaze, do I appear to be looking into your soul?
Touching my skin, do you agree [...]

posted by Michelle in PoemsIn the room where I wait and hide
You come to find me dying inside
In this room where I wait and cry
You pull me towards those awaiting eyes
In this room where I wait in fear
You say the words I often hear
In this room where I’m frozen and alone
You assure me its safe to come home
In this [...]
