Stranger Within Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

Stranger Within



I find it hard to put into words what I feel
It feels so heavy
So much to share
But words seem to fail me once again
I thought I made it
I had moved on
But I haven’t

I feel like a stranger
That no one knows
That you don’t know
That I don’t know
I feel trapped
I want to scream
But no one hears
I can't even hear

Every day is a good day
Is it really?
Is it really a good day
Or do I just want to believe

Believe that things will turn around
Believe that things will work out
Believe...

No one hears my words
No one understand my words
Not even I do anymore

I keep on saying the same things
An old school rhyme it sounds
I have no pages left
Nowhere to write my thoughts

great work... emotions pouring out beautifully... the uncertainity of something and everything in life.. which makes us feel trapped but we don't exactly know what it is.... nicely written! ! !
