Within These Four Walls

[Miss Invisible]

A piece of my life, expressed in poetry.

Within these four walls I pray,
that I'll be strong enough to see another day.
My confidence shattered, my life a mess,
will I ever be free from this stress.

Within these four walls, my sanctuary, my home,
I isolate, with the overwhelming need to be alone.
Alone in my thoughts, these walls keep me contained,
though I can't hide forever..some secrets remain.

Within these four walls, I stay.
Hidden from the bullies encountered yesterday.
Their words, the rumors spread, fighting back is sometimes worse than being dead.

Within these four walls, my pain is free.
Take a look, you'll see that hate only makes pain worse.
How can I express this without ending up riding in the back of a hearse.

Behind these four walls is a person..Me.

That's an awesome poem hun, just so you know there is a poetry forum here too

I agree with Petal!! This is a great poem!!! Do you write poetry a lot?

 

[Miss Invisible]

Thank you I do write often, but rarely gutsy enough to share my work. I have not found the poetry forum, but I'd really like to!

Try and gain more confidence by sharing more. Here is a link to our ''poet's corner'' section on the forum. http://www.suicideforum.com/forumdisplay.php?17-Poet-s-Corner

That's great!!! :tickled_pink:

There's also a website site called allpoetry.com where you can share your workings, too. I know at least one other person with mental health issues that shares their stuff on there. Sounds like it's a supportive place, too, if you're ever finding yourself 'gutsy' enough to try it out. Just putting it out there as another possibility. Never hurts to have more options!

Thanks for sharing, and will look forward to seeing more of your writings here on SF! :whoo:

This reminds me a lot of my high school days. And it is also better than any related poem I could make up.
