Virginia by LinzAy

Nothing makes me happy here
I try to smile - but it's so insincere
Tears fall steadily behind closed bedroom doors
I tell them all again and again but they don't want to hear it anymore
...My life's never felt so empty before...

Nothing fills my hollow soul
I try to live but I don't feel whole
Why be unhappy somewhere else and bring other people down
It's so obvious to everyone that my smiles are meant to be frowns
...This change in life is making me drown...

Inside I've never felt so dead
With thoughts of depression running through my head
Everyone asks what's wrong but they don't wait to hear why I cry
So I don't bother talking anymore, I just run and hide
...Keeping everything I feel about life inside...

Wow
Probably the most amazing thing about this poem is that I can totally relate to it. This is an excellent piece of work, and it shows your emotions and feelings very well. I know exactly how you feel and I hope you see better days soon. -Brett

The burden of silence
Sounds like you carry it in you in your feeling of aloneness in a new place. So heartbreakign to move and leave all you love somewhere far behind you.. Hopefully the internet can keep you closer than as far as this poem indicates... good writing

Well, thankfully....we have free long distance! lmao. It still doesnt fill that certain hole of not being where you feel you belong though. Thankyou for the comment :)
