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
