PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I dwell within the walls of sadness

I linger in the embrace of agony

I swallow my tears like water I need

I hold the hand of darkness as I walk

I choke on the words I want to say

my face is stained with tears

my heart is hardly beating at all

In breathing I am dying with every breath

and my smile is broken, shattered on the floor

and yet the shadow of my smile still rests on my face

tricking people into seeing my fake happiness

I stare at so many people wanting to say "help me"

but my lips are silent and I say nothing

cause how could I adequately describe my pain

no words I could say could make them understand

so I will keep this monster inside of me one day more

sometimes I really wonder what it is I'm living for

am I breathing only to cry?

and am I living only to die?
