Derryn Whitaker Poems

You are the cause
You are my pain
You are the reason
I'm going insane
...

I knew a girl who liked to draw,
She drew pictures that nobody saw,
She was more artistic alone at night,
In her bathroom out of sight,
...

Don't think they can't hear you,
Or the nasty things you say,
Don't think your words can't hurt them
And make them sad throughout the day
...

Lonely and hurt,
Broken I remain
Residing in hell,
living in pain
...

I twirl as my mood softens
my smile is the sun.
There is light in my heart
and bliss in the air.
...

If you only really knew me
Maybe then you would see
That this smile covers up
All the pain I feel in me
...

Just a cut.
Just a scratch.
'What's that mark? '
'It was the cat'.
...

A shattered cough,
Lost breath,
Broken skin,
I am Death.
...

Would you like to hear a secret,
Something I'll bet you never knew,
A secret deep inside me,
I've been hiding it from you.
...

I wake up each morning with a smile on my face.
Wondering how I ended up with your grace.
Each day I realize just how amazing you are.
It didn't take long for you to steal my heart.
...
