PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I open my mouth to scream, but nothing comes out.

I want to tell you that I won't do it anymore.

I'm tired of always being in someone else's shadow when it comes to you.

First, it was one, then it was another, now back to the first.

It's like no matter what I say or do... it's never good enough.



You tell me that I have no reason to feel bad about myself.

For a while I believed it.

I stopped crying.

I stopped hurting.

I saw me for me.

I finally saw myself in the mirror.



What happened to me?

Why do I let myself love you so much?

I can't fight anymore...

I don't wanna give up, but sometimes I feel like I have to.



Why can't I just tell you what I feel?

This feeling of paralysis is getting so old.

The pain seers me so, and I can do nothing about it.



I won't let myself cry... but I am.

I don't want to go back there... but I have.

The only reason I can think of is that I just can't take it anymore.



I won't let you have the satisfaction of knowing that it got to me.

That you hurt me.

I have to be strong... but I'm so weak.



Would you notice if I simply closed my eyes?

Would you care the way you say you do?

Let's find out.

I'm game... are you?
