Choices
Felicia Weaver 1990 (Fort Smith, AR)
So many choices
To make.
So many voices
I have to take
Into consideration.
All the what's ifs and why's
All the corruption and lies.
No one knows what I keep locked inside.
I write my pain down on this page
But even that doesn't stop my rage.
Somethings gotta give
I can no longer live
In this hell, like I'm trapped in a cell.
A cell inside my mind
Just wanna unwind
And learn to be kind
But I can't rewind
The past, it all happened so fast.
My insanity has surpassed.
Don't even recognize myself anymore.
I'll never be the person I was before
Why can't I just ignore
All my thoughts, and my troubles.
But when I try, my anxiety only doubles.
I seek the peace I used to know.
So maybe one day I can grow.
About this poem
So many thoughts run through my mind constantly, this is just a piece of it. A way to express myself in a better way. To slow down my racing thoughts.
