This poem is the one that I entered into the 'just one day' thing.. but I thought I would put it up here aswell..
Let me know what you think...
I wake up in the morning
And I’m always full with dread,
I sit up in the darkness -
So many thoughts run through my head…
Where is everyone?
Is anybody there?
I shout out but no-one answers,
Why doesn’t anyone care?
No-one’s ever there to turn to,
I suppose it’s always been that way…
No family, no friends, no support in the world,
One day all of the love just went away…
I learned how to cope,
I learned how to be strong,
I had to teach myself
What was right and wrong…
I taught myself how to love and care,
And always helped everyone else…
But one lesson that I never learned -
Was how to love myself…
If only someone had told me,
That what I was doing was wrong.
But no-one cared, no-one noticed -
Its been that way for so long…
I got thin,
I got weak,
But the disease that I had…
Was one I couldn’t beat.
If I could have just one day,
To turn back the hands of time,
I would teach myself that one lesson,
And get back the life that’s mine…
One day could make a difference…
One day could make a change…
But until that one day comes…
I’m left standing in chains…
But I know deep inside,
That one day I will break free…
And when that day comes…
I can finally be … me.
I HOPE…
