You're My Peace

The Feeling Of Being Safe In This Hell We Live In.

I'm laughing on the outside

When I'm crying on the inside

Tears of pain 

I pretend are of pleasure

The little bits of happiness

I try my best to treasure

Deep inside my heart.

When I scream, it comes out as a laugh,

When I was a child, did i know life would be so tough

Now in a world of dreams, I like to dwell

Your love is my only fuel

And I only feel safe there.

In this world, I can't feel my heart beat

The ground is shaking beneath my feet

Only you can help me get rid of my tears

Put a smile on my face, wipe out my tears

Without you, in this desert, I so cannot thrive

Whether you like it or not,

I will cling to you for the rest of my life.

Author's Note

Just a little something i wrote when i was feeling suffocated. please comment as you like:).
the line-only you can help me get rid of my tears would be 'only you can help me get rid of my fears' it was a typing mistake and many many thanks to Sophie for correcting me.

Your poem neatly expresses the feelings of anguish we sometimes feel, along with the need to lean on someone for support. A good friend can wipe the tears from our face and help us go on. It's a good piece.

Thank you so much:-).

What I enjoy here is the inner tension of the message, the contradictions that emotions often create ( the first line of the second verse ) and the way the last lines offer a reconcilliation - good work.

thanks so much:-).

Even though love is a common theme in writing, this poem kinda explains it in a sad, realistic way. The third stanza is my favorite, and the ending is rather sweet. Good job.

"Whether you like it or not,
I will cling to you for the rest of my life." That line was my favorite...it completed the rest of the pain and the poem...keep writning

Do you play any instruments? You have a natural beat in your poem...I'd try putting it to a melody :)
