Emily Knight Poems

I walk alone, even in my dreams
Streams of tears running down my face
I have nothing to reach out for
I wish all this pain would end
...

That was me
Couldn’t you see
That my life was just a lie
I stood in corners
...

My life is as dark as night
Every minute is a moment wasted
Every day is a struggle to survive
My heart is slowly turning cold
...

It’s the story of her life
Days on top of days filled with pain
A continuous cycle of peace coming and going
And she sits here, clueless, nothing to say
...

She covers her eyes
Shields her heart from the hurt
She lies down and cries
And hopes that she’ll slip away
...

God I begged you again and again
To hear my helpless cries
I’ve fallen to my knees every night
But you refused to answer
...

I am here
Trying to be strong
Fighting for my freedom
But you won’t let go
...

My whole childhood was filled with hate
Parents yelling and no friends whatsoever
I hid most of the time and refused to come out
Because I didn’t want to face reality and know that you hated me
...

The first day I saw you
With all your blond hair and blue eyes
Right then I wanted to go up and talk to you
But I was so afraid to try
...

Why did you wait until now
To tell me the truth
Why did you give me false hope
For the future
...
