Time

Time heals all pain.

That is just a lie.

I am still the same,

forever cast aside.

 

I love, I feel,

I cry, I scream.

I may be real,

but i feel like a dream.

 

I am there,

just hidden below.

Does anyone care?

Does anyone wanna know?

 

Instead of letting go,

I am still defending.

But instead of fighting the flow,

I am still pretending.

 

I'm not healing inside,

I just refuse to fall.

Every night I cried,

I just built another wall.

 

I can't trust anymore.

I don't wanna believe.

I'm not like before.

I just wanna be freed.

This sounds like it could be a song, and definitely one I would listen to. Do you think you could a melody and make one of the stanzas a chorus???

"I may be real, but I feel like a dream." That line resonates throughout the entire piece.

good job ...keep it up

Tense issue: "Every night I cry".

The dream line in the fourth to last stanza makes the poem for me. Well done!

I like this. It has a nice flow and beautiful emotion. "Instead of letting go,

I am still defending.

But instead of fighting the flow,

I am still pretending."

There's someone who wants to know. There always is. True time does not heal ALL pain but sometimes. You should never lose sight of who you are. Don't stop believing. If hope is lost we are but a soulless husk.
