Ode To My Life

Briah Bazane

You are always putting others first     better off a narcissist 

Dreamer of tomorrow     painter of your own dreams

I wish you would love yourself     not shame how you were created

Bearer of your own torch     hoping for a flame 

A bright white aura when happy     know that you’re beautiful 

They say you're pretty on the outside     but ugly on the inside.

An open heart full of love     a mind full of thoughts 

Your weather-like emotions    your uncontrollable anger.

You think you're a disappointment to everyone     yet your everyone’s blessing

Peacemaker of every      thunderstorm 

As perfect as snow     cold on the inside

Beating your lonely battles     hard like an anchor 

You hold it down like a soldier     don’t want to stand 

With the setting sun and hate     yourself for the things you’ve done.

Raised by a single mother solid as hail     strength like a pack of wolves  

The antisocial girl who sits alone     without a single masked friend 

Even though you know     and don’t pretend 

Not afraid to spit fire     or share your every thought

You used to be something     but living in this world it’s hard to be free

Hoping to heal from     pain and disappointments 

You built yourself a winding road     to give your heart something to follow 

You can never hide You see what others may never see

Is it your fate that you     must care without return?

A stone heart     so  you can’t feel

Author's Note: In my writing I always portray feeling and relatability and not so much have the reader pity me or feel sorry. It’s all about deeper meaning and feeling to what I feel and see and what I don’t get to speak on.
