    Still Breathing

     Lonely hearts crying out for help
    What a vast cliché, normality
    Simply usual, the teenage trademark
    “Harming” all, affecting few

    Unknowns in the world
    Unknowns to my mind, my heart
    The heartbreak of all, the pain of solitude
    The cliché to me cracked in two

    Never did I think myself as part of a trend
    A commonality, something expected
    Someone uniform, not different
    Against all I was raised to believe

    You tell me guys aren’t worth it
    You tell me pain is to be felt
    I wondered, I denied it
    Nothing was gonna happen to me

    But then I met you one day.
    Harmed in a way inconceivable
    Scarred, in my head pain denied
    Yet still breathing

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
