PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you wonder why i’m the way i am

just what has become of me

it’s all because of you



don’t turn away from the truth

just look into these eyes

and see all the pain you’ve brought me



it’s all somewhere inside

all the years i’ve tried to hide

I can’t bury myself behind these words left unspoken

you can’t tell if my cup is half empty or full

because there’s nothing in it, and there never will be



this life is hallowed out

it’s almost like i’m not here

how i wish i was anywhere else

you’ve known before that i’m not well

i can’t change this, or rearrange this

i just wish i could disappear



i’m trapped in this unending cycle,

that gets more predictable every day

and if i had a chance to start this over

i know i’d still come in last



I wish I could be without you, without anyone

But i couldn’t stand the emptiness

I see all that life gives, but i don’t reap any of the benefits

for some reason i can’t give up on it



i want something to be there, there never will be

please take it all out of me, and never give it back



it’s all so empty, i just can’t make it through

without you and without myself

i’m slowly slipping
