Never Again Poem by Sarah Jay

I feel like it is haunting me
– my hurtful past.
I am seeing things I don’t want to see,
I am running fast.
Trying to escape from it,
Trying to forget.
Not having the strength to let go of it
And I keep running.

Now I am facing it;
All the things I have lost
Because of that one misfit,
Everything unrequited love had cost:
Self-confidence, trust,
Self-esteem and belief.
All my faith turning into dust,
Though I am not slowing my stride.

I am left with only doubt,
Letting nobody see the real me kept inside,
Not letting the truth come out,
Always mistrust by my side.
My fear is building up a wall
Never again wanting to feel such pain
Never again wanting to fall
Never again wanting to stand in endless rain.
