it strikes like a ton of bricks
hitting you in the face
all the weight of your life crashing down
making you feel heavy
making you break
to lay strewn across the floor
in a million pieces
losing your self
slowly
maniacally
“nothing matters”
a whisper from deep within
end it now
for your own sake
keep it safe
for the ones around you
the pain screams out at you
because your to afraid
to take it all in
instead you lock
little bits of it into your skin
and keep it all a secret
like a ton of bricks
you lay on the floor in pieces
so pathetic
keeping it a secret
it hurts more
the deeper you push it inside
you feel
unworthy
untouchable
your mind says love
but your heart feels empty
apathetic
your body
dead
like a ton of bricks
demolishing reality
crashing like a storm
your mind eroding like water
keeping the hurricane inside
twisting
like a dream
a dream you cant hold on too
not wanting to think of the future
but its there
and you fear it
want it
touch it
every passing second
as time erodes away
leaving scars
misery
cold
ahead is warmth
warmth you cant quite feel
you long for it
long for something you haven’t felt in your life
like a ton of bricks
scared of its embrace
does it hurt
does it sting
does it numb
cold
feel
ice
burn
feel
it melt
wishing
your fears
were more tangible
tangible
wishing
your heart
wasn’t
a cold
blood
stained
brick
wasn’t
so cold
to the touch
from living in the shade
wishing to be tangible
tangible
but your like a tone of bricks
heavy
unwanted
used
crushed
rebuilt
reused
but not tangible
no energy
no flow
no blood
you are dead
screwn
in pieces
dead
dead
dead
dead
dead
dead
how can you revive
when you were never alive
never
alive
scream
but no one hears
scream
until you die
scream
until
you feel
scream
until
your alive
…
but no one
will ever hear
a dead man scream
nor will they hear me cry
a broken ton of bricks
…
does not make a sound
…
until
…
it hits the ground
…
and shatters.
I like the way you write single words on each line. It helps to feel the meaning these words have within and overall this poem brings up emotional heaviness and I can relate to it. Very well done Misa.
