The Bitter End Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

If I was transparent the world could see
The little girl and the lion in me
Sometimes i wonder can god tell us apart
Does he see the anger that blankets my heart?

The light in me has slowly faded
The price you pay when all love is jaded
I am not at fault, my hands are clean
Yet damage surrounds me and more is forseen

Crumbling under the weight of this head
Starting to think my angels are dead
The footprints of others all over my skin
My love not returned and tossed in the bin

Boiling point and i don't even care
I now look at life with a cold hard stare
Blood of my blood denying the shame
Nobody's child with a borrowed name

The edge creeping closer with every breath
Is it truth that sets you free or is it really death?
Buried inside this version of me
Loosing my grip on reality

Close to explosion, I am about to blow
The rage inside leaking with a constant flow
If I could just hold on until I go insane
Set my mind free, make a stranger of pain

I don't think I can contain this blast
Send my soul salvation and blank out the past
So sick and tired of this ageing struggle
When i close my eyes i see the piles of rubble
I fight back, get up try and try some more
It's always the same I land face on the floor

When you scream out as I have done
Take a good look at what I have become
As you beg for mercy with a desperate face
Watch me walk away while you drown in disgrace

It won't be long now until the bitter end
The moment has passed to slow my descend
Why could nobody see what I was worth?
Faintly beating heart abandoned at birth

Now justice is just an empty word
I could have been saved if my cries had been heard.
