I Can But I'M Not

I can smile, I am happy
I’m able not to cry, I’m not weak
I can fight, I am brave
I can endure, I am strong
But am I really?
I’m still living in lies
Always escaping in truth
I’m still fighting in life
Without knowing the reason behind
I’m standing in too much pain
I’m not strong I’m just pretending
I keep smiling, pain is hiding
I’m screaming inside
I am tired with this
I’m already dead
I have nothing
I am a butterfly with one week life
I am a bird with one wing to fly
I am a fish without gills to dive
I am a frog without legs to jump
I am a joke without punch line
I am a car without engine
I am a piece of crap that nothing want to pick
I am a piece of **** that no one can trust no one can love
I am miserable
I am a worst person
I am trying not to be
I did everything
But I’m coming back to this
I’m always coming up empty
I’m always coming up undone

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
