Pain
My unbearable pain tries to choke my soul
Trying to take over
Trying to swallow me whole
It mangles everything that I ever believed in
Making me think
Think that I committed a shoddier sin
It tears at my heart
Till it pours crimson red
All the memories raging through my head
Being in a act, like putting on a play
Screaming the words,
That I will never be able to say
Trapped in this bleak depression state
Try to block it all out
The cold, the tears, the hate
I watch helpless as the days march on,
Watching it all wither away
To be forever gone
Draining ever last bit of happiness and hope
So hard to keep back the tears
So hard to try to even cope
Slowly creeping into each and every vein
Beating me down
Just pouring like the rain
Wonder what the future holds for me
Afraid to look ahead
Just to even peak and see
That it all just got worse from the start
Couldn’t stay in control
Everything just fell all part
They all think my life is peachy keen
They don’t know what’s going on
What all I have seen
It seems I have it made but I hide it with a smile
This feeling never meets death
It’s been lurking there for a while
Can’t escape this empty dreadful fear
Don’t leave me alone
To yell those words I hate to hear
Take me apart piece by piece
Just wishing one great day
This pain will all cease
Laying in bed to think of a cold way out
But their hearts are like stone
Love, ha, I doubt
They took away everything that meant the most
Wish that this was all over
That this would all just coast
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Is there anyone there
Anyone that cares at all
I go run away to my hiding place
To get away from everything
Away from their relentless face
All these thoughts just torture me
Leaving me here
Open here for all to see
Just cut me up with the jagged pain
Barely gripping reality
On the verge of being totally insane
