PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My mind is chaos and at night I can't sleep,

My days are always grim and it seems the Reaper likes to creep.

With this life that I'm living- At times it gets hard for me to be,

And I refuse to let anyone in- Because they won't like what they see.

On the outside you see a smile- But on the inside I'm crying,

And the outside you see life- But on the inside I'm dying.

I've learned to hide it well- Because too many questions get asked,

Suddenly people start to care- So I just hide behind this mask.

Cries for help go unheard- And the warning signs go unnoticed,

Emptiness now fills my eyes- But it's unseen by even the closest.

Of supposed friends- But actually I'm all alone,

Entered the world a 1 man duo- And I'll be that way when I'm gone.

My alter ego is the happier me- The person people are happy to see,

But on occasion when he can't make it- People wonder what happened to me.

It's almost like they're laughing at me- Pointing out my weaknesses,

The way I'm living is a tragedy- But no one knows how deep this is.

There's a hole inside my heart- And when the wind blows through, it hurts,

To fix it I wouldn't know where to start- So instead I filled it with dirt.

But that just hurt worse- And my mentality has completely collapsed,

The pain I feel is like a drug- And everytime I'm clean I seem to relapse.

Falling into traps- That Life has set up along the way,

Tomorrow just seems so far- So I'm struggling to hold on to today.

The wounds I have go much deeper- You wouldn't understand if I told you,

So I'm painting these pictures with words- So that way I can show you.

This is the beginning of a journey- And hopefully when it's done you'll see,

The reason for all of this hurting- Are you ready, come with me.
