Waiting For The End
written by: Aaliyah
Tears build up,
Running down my face,
Silent as ever,
Waiting for a moment,
When the numbness ceases,
To live again,
Eternally dead within,
Smiles painted on,
Crafted beautifully,
Fooling everybody,
The hearts of many,
Fall for the game,
I know it has to be,
For my heart,
Yearns to feel,
But I know,
It’s not real,
For the game of pretend,
Never ends,
My heart empty,
Soul cracked…
I am nothing now,
More than pretend,
The game has to end,
But only with me dead…
My name is Aaliyah Lenyora and I am 18 years old. I live in South Africa. My publishing history though not much, has been wonderful. I have been published in Evergreen Poetry Journal July issue, as well as won second place in Wild Fire Publications Poet of the month July issue. Recently I have been chosen to be featured in the International Poetry Digest monthly. I have also been chosen to be in a Poets showcase that has just been released. I have also had two of my poems chosen for Top 100 poems of the year by International Poetry. This is my passion and my drive though I am new I love what I do.
