Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins Poems

What happened to me
What changed so drastically
Why do I feel so lost
So heavy hearted
...

Sitting here and pondering
All the could've, should've and would've been
How can something so close, within my reach
Just slip away
...

Time can be a beautiful thing
But it can be cruel too
It can bring so much joy
And yet bring pain
...

Where has my voice gone
Where has my strength gone
I feel numb…
But why
...

We all build walls
These are there to protect us
Or for whatever reason you thought was needed
But the good part of all this
...

If I could find the words
If I could find the actions
If I could find the signs
If I could find....
...

I just can’t seem to get away
After all these years
After everything I have been through
I always find myself here
...

I said I would change
Make things different this time
Change my ways
Change my habits
...

You never cared for me
You just like the others
Use me
Abuse me
...

Sitting here with all these thoughts
With all these emotions of mine
Having its own dialogue
A debate with ‘Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda and If
...
