Sorrows Ink! Poem by Noorjala Ocasio

The harsh slap stings my face
The cold reality end of the race
The final feeling that it's all done now
And all you can think is I wonder how

How it could have been if I didn't mess up
Maybe if I would've won I could've be enough
And I hear the roaring booming lies
And I cut all the words that were my ties

And I can't take those looks I get
Can't manage to let myself, let go of regret
Pain makes the best music
Such a shame that we can't get this from happiness

How it could have been if I didn't mess up
Maybe if I would've won I could've be enough
And I hear the roaring booming lies
And I cut all the words that were my ties

And there I thought of the times I smiled
And there I caught it was fake all the while

Do you even want me more than a night
Dine me and flaunt me, treat me right
Make me think I was the only one for you
Yet here in sorrow's ink I know its not true

How it could have been if I didn't mess up
Maybe if I would've won I could've be enough
And I hear the roaring booming lies
And I cut all the words that were my ties

What posses the soul to show its real feelings
What can make us whole what can expose true healing
Behind all the scars that mark your heart
And like the millions of stars I've been there from the start

Here I pour my words into this notebook
Can't ask for more this is my last look
Into my world the one I don't even know
I can only sing how I feel cause then I let go
