Break Down

I can feel it coming
I can feel them stinging
But I blink it back, blink it back
I shake away the pain
I won't let myself break
I have to appear strong
Even though inside I haven't strength to breathe
It's just an urge I can't fight
Though I really have tried
I hold all my emotion back
I keep it all inside
What I lack to see
Is I'm slowly killing me
But I look strong to the outside eye
I appear unbreakable
They wouldn't know the weight I carry
I'll never let them know
Because to them I'm fine
"Nothing's wrong, I'm okay"
It's the easiest lie to tell
"I'll be all right, it's nothing"
My cover up for a step mistook
If they really cared for me
They could see my lies
But they just ask to be polite
I know they don't give a damn
And that's part of why I lie
If they don't look to closely
I can pretend to be how I wish I felt
And they don't know the difference
So I keep lying, keep pretending
I know they'd never know
The would never see
The blood I shed
The scars I've made
The pain I face each day
Deep inside I'm pleading
For a hand to hold
One that knows I'm bleeding
One that just... knows
No one would have guessed
I'd find it all in you
I'm comfortable around you
With you I don't pretend
And since you know who I really am
I'll wait till I'm in your arms
Before then, I won't let it go
But I'll cry while you hold me
I'll sob while you hug me
I'll rant and rave while you hold my hand
All the things I've needed to say
Will flow like a river
All the tears I've needed to cry
Will come like a dam
All the anger, all the pain
All the frustration and stress
I'll let it go, I won't hold back
But until I can be with you
I will not break down

| SOunds like me. That first break down is like the second sweetest thing you've ever felt. I hope you find it soon |

I love the manner in which you can express these feelings. I have them too. I feel like I am waiting for that person to be comfortable around. One to help me wash the pain away. I feel like breaking down. Maybe breaking down gets you to the one to be comfortable with. If you haven't been broken, how can you find the one to help you be fixed?
Nice poem, I really liked it. Thanks for sharing |
