Shut Down
19 March, 2008
Author: Korie Poleo
i live my life face down and manage somehow to always get back off the ground
people think im so strong but i can only hold this composure for a short amount of time
pain is beating at my door just waiting for me to open back up
haunted by fear and bad news
i strive for the best but always get shut down
everyday i grow more weak and more cold. sometimes i start to feel numb.
the people in my life dont realize the inner battles im trying to over come.
fear of change trickles down my face and evaporates in the wind.
struggle beats rapidly in my heart
peace confides in my eyes and to hide the depth of my concern for greater happiness.
he is my weakness and that is not shown.
to deal with so much and not breakdown is only for the stable ones.
i cant take it most of the time and by surprise im still here.
fighting everyday to work life out.
one step at a time.
