Survivors Poetry

I Know
(21st May 2009)

For all survivors still fighting out there
Your emotions inside I'd gladly share
I know what it's like to need to explain
I felt the sorrow, I felt the pain

Where do we go, what do we do
I'm so lost, I think just like you
There are no answers no silver cloud
You've got so far and should be proud

You're not alone never think you are
Look to the sky and pick a star
Think of it as your guiding light
Protecting you throughout the night

Me
(2009)

It’s a haunting obsession that tears me apart
Tormenting me inside that’s broke my heart
I’m trying so hard but I just can’t let it go
So hard I’ve tried not to let it show

No matter what come what maybe
My life I want it back it belongs to me
You had no right to take it away
For your sins one day I hope you’ll pay

I look for comfort but it’s never there
The problems inside that I need to share
I want to be me be myself again
No more anguish and no more pain

Fed up
(6th May 2009)

As I think what life will bring
Will it ever change or be the same thing
So much different do I want it to be
A change in my life I want to see

No more worries and no more pain
My life at the moment driving me insane
Some sort of relief is what I need
A person beside me in life to lead

I’ve had enough I’m all spent out
From the rooftops I want to shout
How much more do you expect me to take
A bit of a break a difference would make

I’m tired of fighting it’s been so long
To feel so sad it’s very wrong
Contentment inside I want to feel
My dreams and hopes I wish to be real

Lost for Words
(2009)

That I’ve been a victim I’m sure
From my heart I’ve needed to be sure
I’ve felt so lost inside of me
Stood on my own, come what may be

Have you got this have you got that
This is the situation it’s at
It’s a feeling, I feel closed in
That’s the way it’s always been
Upon my head, Get a drink it will be fine
Is always a frown

I must dig deep within my heart
To fight it away, come what may
Get away from me is simple to say
So I can live another day
Leave me alone because I’m alone
Harass me I’ll be on my own
