Letting Go and Gaining New

By MistressofMayhem

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My emotions are secure, buried deep inside. This sugar-coated shell is what I use to hide. The shell has now been broken, the feelings are all out. They fly around my troubled mind filling me with doubt. Will people like the real me, pulling me in near? Or will this new side frighten them, filling them with fear? I never acted depressed when I was treated right. I used to smile, I used to laugh until day turned into night. The skys have all turned grey now, clouding up their eyes. They jabbed at me, encircled me, without any signal of good-bye. I was pushed out into the real world, all alone and cold. How could they just throw me away? My friendship had been sold. I don't have tears to fall now, for they have all gone dry. I can't let down my guard now, I can't let them see me cry. But I gained back all my dignity as someone drew me in. I've finally found someone who loves me for me... Matthew, thank you for being my friend. ~Dedicated to my wonderful boyfriend, Matthew.  You made me feel like someone when I was abandoned by everyone.  I love you.~ Written December 5th, 2001 © on Dec 05 2001 09:31 AM PST   0 • 10
