PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Just thinking about settling down or running away

Not sure how long it has been but I am not okay

I have been running on empty for far too long

I am still so very weak although others think of me as strong



When you first meet me you will not know the pain I feel

I treat it as a deep dark secret never to be revealed

I will close my eyes and pretend that not a single soul is there

If I do not see them, I will not be able to get hurt, and if they do not exist I will not feel worse when they do not care



How could anyone know my pain as I look out the window and just watch others go out with their friends

I have not seen a friend in the longest time

The lonliness breaks my heart into too many broken pieces never to mend

and I am just here waiting in the pain for the light at the end of the tunnel to know that I am okay



and while the world is peacefully sleeping I lie awake crying in my bed

Just hoping the rain will soon go away

Many nights I just wish that I were dead

I am so blue and afraid that misery is the only thing that will stay
