Rubberband

Words cannot describe these feelings which confuse my mind Unable to explain the complex combination Searching inside for answers that I’ll never find There is a constant aching inside my heart Every day I burry it a little bit deeper Stitch by stitch I sew on patches to keep from falling apart Nobody to talk to because nobody would understand Unsolved contradictions argue inside my head Stretched out too thin like a rubber band Tears fall but I don’t know why A feeling of emptiness fills me up Without escape despite how hard I try Torn between desire and need A hunger for what doesn’t seem to exist Planting a garden with a make believe seed Setting myself up for failure with expectations that can never be met Destroying any chance of happiness Replacing it with regret Spinning in circles losing balance and falling face first Decorated with scars My head under water yet I can’t quench the thirst Exterior appearances disguise this pain I hide Day after day I run from myself I pass you unnoticed and nobody sees what I feel inside
