Lesson Poem by Emma Jane Rae

The silence is deafening,
My home is cold and bare,
Tainted with bad feelings,
And the fact you don't seem to care,
My days are long and lonely,
I spend them on my own,
I work all day in silence,
And return to silence in my home,
I've got this gut wrenching feeling,
Something I just can't seem to shake,
I wish this was just a nightmare,
I will myself to wake,
I walk for miles in the darkness,
That's where my tears escape,
They overtake and drown me,
Like I'm covered by a cape,
My life was perfect and now it's not,
It's shitter than ever before,
Now even getting up in the morning,
Feels more like a chore,
I'm wrapped up inside my mind,
Which way do I turn?
I don't think this lessons fair,
It's not one I want to learn,
Maybe I should light the match,
And this this f*cker burn.
