Elizabeth Forrest Poems

These feelings that have faded have opened up my eyes
The rage that has succumb me, the pain I have inside
I begin to understand why I hide behind these walls
Afraid of the world around me, afraid I might fall
...

Why do you punish me with silence
Why do you pain me with these lies
Why do you torture me with childish games
Why do you hide in this disguise
...

You'll never hear me say I love you
You'll never see me shed a tear
You'll never hear me say I care for you
You'll never see me rage with fear
...

On wings of light
and breath of fire
your dreams are clouds
of cruel desire
...

I want to die
by my own hand
tonight's the night
I hope you'll understand
...

I'm lying here in darkness with my eyes open wide
underneath the covers as if I were trying to hide
Sorting through the thoughts that are racing through my head
listening to the voices speaking words I left unsaid
...

Blue, white, orange and green
these pills I take behind the scenes
changing all the chemicals that cycle through my mind
showing me the happiness that for so long I was blind
...

Crying for attention
bleeding on the floor
no one there to hear her
so she cuts herself some more
...

There's no need to be afraid of me
no need to hold things back
for if you open up to me
I promise no attack
...

I'll tell you what I want if you can handle the truth
pleasing everyone but me has wasted away my youth
It's time for me to take a stand and be true to myself
be true to my feelings that for so long sat on a shelf
...
