When... A poem by me.

When... A poem by me.

When life turns you into someone you don't recognize.


When life makes you feel you are wearing a disguise.


When life turns you into someone you don't want to be.


When all you do is want to break free.



When who you once were is who you wish to be.


When your old self is a distant memory.


When you feel like you are wearing a mask


When you realize your life experiences are kicking your ass.



When you can say "this happened to me".


When you can say "I live like this everyday".


When you can say "this isn't who I want to be".


When you can say "I miss the old me".



When you do things you wouldn't normally do.


When you realize that's just not you.


When you realize your life's a mess.


When you realize you're aging fast.



When your dreams keep passing you by.


When almost everyday you cry.


When anxiety becomes your plague.


When guilt consumes you everyday.



When trust is a huge luxury


When thinking someone could love you,


Is an impossibility because you don't feel worthy.


When your fears are overwhelming.


When what you feel is all consuming.



When it all makes you feel quite lonely.


When it all makes you feel misunderstood.


When it all makes you feel you're no good.


When you sit and wonder " is a change gonna come?"



I hope everyday a change will come.


I try everyday to make one.


Basically, This poem describes me to a T.


This is how I feel pretty much everyday.



I understand the emotional pain.


I understand the lack of empathy,


From other people telling you "just deal"


I understand the thought of "is this real?"



So, I don't just write this to release what I'm feeling


I write this out of understanding and inspirational healing


I write this knowing if I can work towards change, others can too.


I write this hoping since people helped me, maybe this poem will help you.
