PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

and you cannot see beneath the surface

can't quite reach right past this skin

if you could penetrate this darkest veil

i’ve a surprise for you within



sometimes i feel it’d be better off without me

or maybe still with me there but without you

then again maybe i was never here to start with

maybe it was only you who pretended to be



don’t make any promises that you can’t break

i leave my life right here for you to take

my mind’s real but this soul is a fake

so i only destroy what i cannot remake



i just want to break anything that gets in my way

i’m only an object in your cruel little game

there's so many words but no reason to say them

i'm nailed to the bottom, there's nowhere to go from here



wish i could see, but i can’t force open these eyes

i’m drowning again, but even i can’t save myself

all beauty is ugliness, so please shed this skin for me

unstable, as i always am, fragile, i’ll always be



how can i ever be myself when i don’t know who i am?

how can i give it all back if there’s nothing in my hand?

where am i going when the path clears out before me?

behind all of this i’m just like you, but you refuse to see



so prone to fall to pieces before you

i give you permission to witness my decline

let the darkness have its way with me

may they know just where to take me
