Friend? Poem by Amanda Lee Lewis

Friend?



Friend? Are you out there? I need u right now...
I need u to cry the tears that couldn't cry!
You need to know the pain that I have been feeling for an entire lifetime...
Loneliness...it will never leave my oblivious mind!
Anger... from the people that have left me behind, and the people that have killed whatever I had inside!
Heartbreak...The ones that I let in...that wouldn't do the same and left me empty and broken...

It will take a miracle to make me the person that I once was...

Why do I put a facade? Because I don't want anyone to see my insides...I can't, then people would think that I am...

What? What could they think? Scenario 1: 'Her Parents must have neglected her' which you could say...but it isn't their fault. Or Scenario 2: 'I knew she wasn't the person that she was putting on...Everyone could see right through her' this can't be true...no one sees the real me, except me.

And really its not me not being real...but I am just hiding what I don't want anyone else to see, hear, or feel...my problems are mine to deal with...but I don't know how much longer I can handle this pain of knowing that I am empty and that I don't have the person that I love...that one person could be the one thing that brings out my tears...so that I can finally heal from the pain that has consumed my life and put it to rest.

Amanda, your emotions cry out loud and clear in this. I know the pains you talk about in this poem. My poems are filled with the pain, of loneliness, desolation, abandonment, bigotry, beatings, sexual abuse, fear, and thoughts of ending it all, because I feel sometimes 'what's the use'. And I also have asked, 'when will I be able to shed at least one tear, even tho I am always crying? ' I have poems posted if you'd like to read them...some are romantic, and light or a least I tried to make them that way. But mostly about all of what I said above tho. This is a very sad poem of loneliness, desolation, isolation, and abandonment. MY poem True Friend is similar to this. Thanx for sharing Amanda. Barbara
