Light In the Eyes
Sometimes i ponder why,
the way i am
Why the universe shows me myself
And shows me my reflection
While im just a man full of insecurities and sin
Born into a story that feels fiction yet still bland
I loose so much that it feels impossible to win
Im a failure im a freak
Im a monster
And It burns in my head as i hold in all this heat
I shouldnt even exist
As i fail everyone from head to feet...
I try to be happy..
But i dont know whats wrong with me
I can make all these words rhythm as i sink in my chest
Relapsing in my own misery
I wish i could change the world...and be the best
But my expectations always kill me
The farther i climb the harder i fall
But im trying to be more
For someone
Who like me wants things to change
Even if mine is more selfish..
Cheesy and raw
I just hope she remains
If not i guess il understand
As i am not the best of the best
Or the strongest internally as my soul breaks down most days
And brings me heart and mind to a crawl
I dont even know what this poem is about
Except for the fact i never feel worthy
Even if its my last name..
Like an angel stripped of wings
Yet i still make a way to hurry and bring myself off my knees
Before time closes the window
And il forever regret and think of what might have been to be
