My Life Poem by Astacia Glover

I´m only me and that’s all I can be
Lost to my thoughts of life´s hate
Not knowing the outcomes of my mistakes
A child looking for a bit of love

Yet my heart can´t be touched
Scared of letting someone new in
No one will ever be allowed to hurt me again
Guys bruise my easily bruised skin

Tired of hating who I have become
Society´s taking its toll on me
Depression is what seems to trap my soul
Love never seems to keep its hold

Like a bird it fly´s out of sight
No longer does the light shine bright
Looking for a new path to take
Hoping to be led out of misery´s stakes

Tired of feeling as though I don´t belong
Longing for a home to call my own
Tears filling my eyes at night
Soaking my pillow till the morning light

Deserving the pain I feel
Though I thought their love was real
No longer can I trust somebody else
I was born to stay to myself

Eventually I´ll be put to rest
Tired of faking the happiness that penetrates my face
Living in a world where you are accepted by being fake
But I´m me even through all of the heartache
