Poetry As It Is ...

How Long

How long will I have to go through this?

This pain, game, frustration and lies you put me through.

The drama and arguing is not fun getting use to.

As much as it is to you.

How long do I have to wait?

For you to change your old wanting to be new ways.

For this phase in my life to get thrown away.

Away into the garbage where it’s suppose to be and stay.

How long do I have to go on?

Crying my eye’s out, just because you want change.

Draining myself with pain, confusion and drowsiness inside of my brain.

Hearing disturbing words come out the mouth I called mother.

How long is what I ask myself?

When looking in the mirror.

My mouth wide open for me to speak.

The words in my head are going to spill out so deep.

Not long, not long.

Very soon I will be gone.

Gone and grown all on my own.

Without the pain and games,

Just peace and happiness is where I’ll remain.
