dying inside

Contributed by Cancer on Friday, 30th January 2004 @ 01:18:25 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



subdued again
withdrawn again
in the dark again
alone again

so ***** sick of being proud
on my knees begging for help
pleading for someone
anyone
wish i hadn't pushed them all away
dug myself in
and i can't get out

deep inside
i found a light
i blew it out
so no one could see me cry

eyes adjust
to growing gloom
and i see all the demons
that i've hidden so poorly
no longer monsters to fight
just part of the routine

my voice so small
as i cry out
my tears so insignificant
on the cold floor of this cell
my life so short
once you weed through the waste

no more fire in my eyes
no more steel within my voice
no more pride to drive me to stand
no reason to get up at all

but i'll still laugh
because everything that happens
just feels like some sick irony
and i'll still smile when you speak to me
cuz it's all i know how to do
but when i open my mouth
to speak to you
if you'll listen closely
benath my words
you can hear me
crying and dying inside

I've been there man this was so terribly sad... just know that if u ever wanna talk I'm always there to listen. I'm trying to pick out a favourite line or something but its all equally amazing.

I must say that you write poetry with great emotion behind it. I always love to read works like that, b/c I try to acheive that with each one of mine. Keep it up, you've got an amazing talent, dont let it go to waist

Wow Cancer. I just love the scrawls. They are always awesome. Granted this wasn't as morbid it was still good. It felt so hopeless.
