Broken Poem by Heather Rhoden

I wish it would leave.
I just can't understand.
It falls on me.
The choices are in my hands.

I feel myself starting to break.
No one will listen to my words.
This I can no longer take.
My heart being pierced by the swords.

I wish it would go away.
I just can't get it.
The right thing I never say.
My mistakes no one seems to forget.

I feel myself starting to tear.
No one listens to what I speak.
I can't ignore the stares.
My laughter has long turned to screams.

I wish it would end.
I just don't care anymore.
I should've known I'd never win.
My hopes now fall through the floor.

I feel myself starting to die.
No one listened to me.
I never understood why.
My soul is finally free.
