I Can Breath Now



If I grabbed from within
Would you see it
Closed down abused and beaten
A dark cloud has formed
And it's never leaving
I was granted a life
Only to be defeated
Everyone here
Has retreated
I reached out
But I was called clingy
If you cared
You still wouldn't see it
That I'm pointless
And have no meaning
Soon enough though
I'll be leaving
From this crap world
I was forced to breath in

Just breath
Then breath out
Close your eyes
Let it out
A final goodbye
I can see it now
No more pain
As my ashes are scattered upon the grounds
Only then will I not frown
Maybe now you'll even smile
Don't worry
It only hurts for a little while
Turn your cheek
It's too late now
My life is gone
Let me enter these gates now
Heaven or Hell
Hear my howl
Please come save me
I don't know how
Get me out of this vessel
Lay it far beyond the grounds
And never ever let it out
My soul is free
I can breath now

Elizabeth Twadell

At the age of 12, Elizabeth Twadell was first published for her poem "A dreary night". For 15 years, she would continue on to write for Eber and Wein publishing, even to receive an Editors Choice Award and many letters of recognition. Writing sonnets and monorhymes and soliloquys have been her greatest passion. In this, it has also been a form of escape. She would love to tell her tale and maybe save just one person or help change the world. For we are one and our differences are our greatest strength. When we realize this we will become unbreakable. more…
