Lisa Brewer Poems

The floor under me is steady in the beginning
Happy at five years of age, and healthy
Can laugh at anything, so care free - so unaware that my life was going to get worse,
Set up with so many expectactions by my parents.
...

Ever felt like, no matter how hard you try, you are going nowhere?
Ever seen all your hard work go down the drain?
Ever dreamed of a better place, woken up, and sayed to yourself, what am I doing here?
Ever heard of happiness you know you can never achieve, and was mad at the person who has the happiness?
...

DARKNESS
Death
Lights dim as life dies
Your life ends without a sound
...

Vengeance is red

It sounds like the screaming person from inside you, waiting to escape.
It feels like a throbbing heart, waiting to die from a heart attack.
...

I care for you so much.... I want you to be happy.
I want someone for you that will hold you when you need to be comforted the most.
Someone that will love you, and listen to what you have to say, and give you good advice.
To make all your pain go away.
...

Hope is for suckers
All my hope has been smashed
It's not worth it to get your hopes up because....
Love is giving the power to completly destroy you to someone and trusting them well....
...

This feeling sucks, feeling unsure of what move to make.
He's cute, but does he like me?
He's nice to me, but is he like that to everyone..... or just me?
He's sweet now, but what about later?
...

So tired,
So exhausted,
Ready to give up,
All the world around me doesn't convince me that I should stay,
...

You hurt me and you don’t even know it.
You kill me inside every day.
You & your face…… it’s torture.
When you smile, a little piece of me dies.
...

I’m close to tears

Doesn’t seem to hit hard until you take a moment to think
It’s hard to hold in
...
