A Lie

selfstruggles

Everything, it seems, is just the same
I embrace the thought and excuse the pain
Satisfied for the moment, but only a bit
Eyes wide open in a room dimly lit
With a sigh
I remove the battery from the clock
Ignore the door when angst starts to knock
I escape to a corner that you can’t see
Knowing that I must wait there patiently
But not why
I refuse to listen when reality calls
I convince myself that I will not fall
I stop the trembling when it again starts
Regardless of the begging from my heart
I won’t cry
Smiling but only in halfhearted ways
I tell myself that it’s just one more day
Determined to numbly say goodbye
It’s hard as anything I’ve ever tried
I can't deny
Making up stories to pass the time
In the dark of night, I walk the line
Creating reasons in a warped mind
Thinking that they are the right kind
To then apply
Believing logic can overcome love
Hoping reason will give hurt a shove
I go about rationalizing you away
Back into the past, away from today
Well, I try
With every ounce of hidden strength
I carry on, going to great lengths
I try to break free from your hold
But in the end, if truth be told
It goes awry
And my thoughts return again to you
For it seems no matter what I do
I am not strong, nor am I wise
And when I tell you that I’ve tried
It’s just a lie

This is such a great write. Definitely one of the best I've read today.
The rhyming was awesome and the emotions ran high.
I related so well to this piece.
Great write. |

| This makes my heart ache in a way that reverberates toward my stomach. Very touching, and very deeply felt. You have done a wonderful job of expressing hurt/pain/frustration.Thank you. |
