Seared

Crawling for the light
And electric shocks to fear,
I'm crying from the pain that lasts
Right after being seared.

Injuries from accidents
I never meant to cause,
Glasses break and rip at me.
Just like a tiger's claws.

Trouble seems to follow me:
Tornadoes, Florida storms.
And funerals from shadowlands
That make me want to mourn.

Mistakes and stupid choices
That I've made just for my anger,
Lies and sweat and tears that kill-
My life is put in danger.

Though smiles come from everywhere 
They are too fake to see.
Tame the flame that is inside,
It's way too real for me...

Crawling from the light
And my sanity I fear,
I'm crying for the pain that lasts--
I'm wanting to be seared....

I wrote this poem a year ago from a list of words my Theatre teacher at the time had us write down. I liked how it came out and I hope you do too! Let me know! :D
