SARAH A. STRUSZCZYK Poems

Through the highest power
Through the deepest land
I know I’ll make it through
With a simple touch of his hand
...

You’ve never cheated with another chick
I’ve never caught you running a game
But still I’m standing here feeling sick
And it’s considered cheating to me all the same.
...

For all the empty promises
For all the well thought lies
I sit here with my head in my hands
And whisper my goodbyes.
...

Standing in a position that keeps me locked from hope
Learning how to pull myself together, learning how to cope
Fallen into my own debt, drowning in my tears
Saying goodbye to yesterday, sensing all my fears
...

Staring at this blank screen
Trying not to cry
When I really want to scream
Because I’m convinced all you’ll ever do is lie
...

Say you love me and there's no affect
can't feel the love you say you bare
I've come across a heart defect
can no longer believe you even care.
...

Just like the smell of the rain
Most can tell when it’s about to pour
And some can sense the pain
Another has had to endure
...

Endangering myself, my hardships, my beliefs
Here I am struggling while you’re living like you’re from the streets
All my worries, my anguish, my pain
Could never be forgotten, never renewed again
...

Staring around the room
Watching people happy and filled with cheer
Wondering why I’m not feeling the same
Just want to go home already and drink a beer.
...

Too many times before
I’ve asked myself why
Wondering how it got this far
Wondering why I cry
...
