Josephine Adrian Poems

Home is...
Hugs and laughter;
But not everything,
Is happily ever after.
...

A laugh to cover the anger,
A smile to hide the pain.
Sorrow falling upon me,
Like frigid drops of rain.
...

For every tear that I've cried,
A smile has graced my lips.
For every sob that has escaped my mouth;
So has a burst of laughter.
...

I try to let go;
But my mind won't let me,
Let go of the things in my past
That upset me.
...

I called you 'mom'
Right from the start;
Little did I know,
You'd break my heart.
...

Dreams shattered,
Childhood stolen,
Innocence taken.
Anger swollen.
...

'Because I'd rater feel pain than nothing at all'
To me, this sentence rings true;
In this world full of hate,
I'd rather be you.
...

Was I meant to lead,
Or meant to follow;
Was I meant to chew,
Or just to swallow.
...

I have walls,
They are the type no one can see.
I built them a while ago,
To guard this heart inside me.
...

A single tear dribbles down my face,
It's the middle of the night.
This happens often.
But it's out of sight.
...
