this is what i look like today

here's a poem i found on the internet... i think it's kinda cool...a little angsty, but it poetry, you know? haha comment what you think of it!

echo of my heart

(i couldn't find the author's actual name)

the door shuts behind me with a click.

i take a deep breath

and run.

my scuffed shoes hit the ground softly, silently

they don't slam, not yet

i hear only my footsteps on the crowded street

so i listen to the echo of my broken heart .

i pass by hookers, drug dealers, knockoff-sellers,

mothers with their screaming babies

but i don't see them.

i concentrate on the road before me

as my footsteps echo the beating of my broken heart.

I don't think of you.

or of her.

i don't remember how i cried

when i found out she was

the only one who was meant for you to love

that i would

never be yours.

i simply run

and listen to the echo of my broken heart

i don't run for you

i don't run for her

i'm not even sure

i run for me.

i run to feel alive,

to look ahead,

and to listen to the echo of my broken heart.

xoxo
