POETRY: “Untitled”

Blackened by hate and beaten blue by lies, I am no longer who I used to be.Take this heart of mine and replace what’s known; Change who I was and make me new again.

Fake Smiles and Fake Friends, Is this all I have?

I look in the mirror and ask again,

“What did I do to make it leave for good…” All of my innocence and purity.

I lived eight years not knowing of its leaving.

I stand alone with those who do not know.

These Friends I knew, with eyes like snakes, and mouths running  with these baseless, hurtful rumors…

I just want them gone:  “Don’t talk to me please…”

“Leave me alone….There’s nothing left for me…”
