Miriam's Poems 🫶🏼

Nowadays there's not much I can do to get rid of the pain,
This pain is never easy but very hard to explain.
Every inhale dries every tear,
Every exhale releases all fear.
It's as if for once my body is calm and at peace,
As I lay back and watch the white clouds being released.
I finally got rid of my anxiety,
After all the years of crying and suffering quietly.
All stress is gone,
This peace is all I ever want.
Inhale, exhale, and repeat till it's all over,
It's easy to be high when it's so hard to be sober.
Finally the pain, anger, and stress is gone for a little while,
And for once I don't have to fake a smile.
Trying to numb the pain with this drug,
You all saw how broken I was and you didn't give a fuck.
I get a hold of a pen and pencil as I begin to write my rhymes,
Letting the tears roll down my face as I look down at my scar lines.
Wanting everyone to stay the fuck away from me,
Needed more but everyone gave me less.
Feeling nothing but numb,
The person I would take a bullet for, turns out to be the one holding the gun.
Liking the feeling of being high,
Feeling like I'm in the clouds and floating in the sky.
I got a lot on my mind,
But the whole world seems to be blind.
