Poetry is my escape and way of facing up to life. It is my therapy. I'm currently studying creative writing at Kingston University and continuing working on improving my poetry so please comment to help me do so.
Have you ever held back tears so hard
It makes you choke?
Have you ever held onto something so tight
Eventually it broke?
...
I used to look at you and see my future in my eyes.
Now as you meet my stare, i feel sick, i see nothing but a mannequin.
You stare in the mirror.
And carefully choose the face you'll wear that day.
...
Her eyes are withdrawn from her surroundings.
And black with mascara tears.
If you look deeper into them.
You find the slow path to her fears.
