The lights turn off, <br />THe city falls asleep, <br />But she's still crying herself to sleep.. <br /> <br />How did her life change so suddenly? <br />Where have all her good friends gone to? <br />Where did everything go? <br />There were many questions on her mind, <br />And she could not bare the answers.. <br /> <br />Life have changed so dramatically, <br />People come and go, <br />A day tomorrow cannot be planned nor wished for, <br />Because life throws sudden changes.. <br /> <br />She lies in her bed, weeping in agony, <br />What have life done to her at a very young age? <br />She's still a child, <br />And she can't handle more above all of this.. <br /> <br />She cannot bare people no more, <br />She cannot bare more responsibilities, <br />No, she cannot.. <br /> <br />She tries to hide it all and move forward, <br />But the more she moves forward, <br />The stronger the force is to pull her backwards, <br />'Why me' - She asks God in tears.. <br /> <br />Every inch of her body and bone are in pain, <br />Her eyes cant close for a good night sleep, <br />Because all she can see is the exhausted soul inside her.. <br /> <br />24 hours are not enough for her daily responsibilities, <br />But she's the girl who could be found dead <br />Among all of her own responsibilities as well as others.. <br /> <br />But she is me.. <br />And I shed tears each night.. <br />I'm trying to break away from this tiring life.. <br />But no method seems to be working.. <br />Nothing is helping.. <br /> <br />They say the good die young, <br />Well, what do they say about the young exhausted soul suffering alive? <br />I may not bare some answers.. <br />And I know there is nothing left inside me..to carry on much longer..<br /><br />Petra Soliman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/exhausted-young-soul/
