Can I Show It?

Vanessa Sanchez
Why do I hide
The pain inside?
It's over powering
In the corner, I'm cowering
Can I show it?

What would people say ?
This fear and torment I want to slay.
I say, "Leave me BE!"
But who hears me?
No one I see

I have yelled
Tightly held
Though, only in my dreams
Do you hear my screams
Fantasys are my comfort

What is one to do?
For what I'm going through?
It's troubling to ask
And break this mask
I've cared for all this time

Why shatter all I've known,
Just so that my heart would truly be shown?
If you truly loved me you would already see.
If I were loved I would be Free.
Wouldn't I?

This is what I've been wanting
Your voice is haunting
Take me in
Hold me within
I want to feel secure

I want to be praised for being strong
To hear the things I've not for so long
Teach me the way
The path I've lost the way
Help me, Stay with me

I'm lost
I'm afraid to have crossed
The wrong lines
Without you, I've missed the signs
I can never go back

Loss and Silence
Suffering from Violence
I need a break
The life that's fake
To wash it away

What more can I say?
These poems are my way
To express the pain
That's been distilled in my vain
Show me there is a way out!
