Marissa Liebowitz Poems

I am now alone
No one to protect me
Or guide me
No one to help me
...

It takes courage to cry
For all the world to see
Most of us pretend
To only be happy
...

I like to sit alone sometimes
In my land of make-believe
As whimsical fantasies cloud my head
Its my escape from reality
...

We all have questions about the world
That swirl around our heads
They are often left unanswered
But remain until we're dead
...

The man who said he loved me
The man who said he cared
The man who said he'd die for me
Was never really there
...

In the begging we were ignorant
We lived a life of bliss
We did not know life's sorrow and woe
Yet we were unknowingly on the path to loneliness
...

There is a place not far from here
A place that I must go
A place to escape all my troubles
The city of Chicago
...

We all have a secret name
That tells the stories of our lives
No one can quite pronounce it
But without it we couldn't thrive
...

I wear a large smile
On my face all of the day
My whole life's a lie
...
