PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I want to let it all out

I want to scream and cry

instead I sit here in silence

as time slowly passes by



gazing into the flame

of a slowly dying candle

writing this poem when life

is getting more than I can handle



I'm too awake to sleep

too tired to stay awake

wanting this feeling to disappear

but there's no way for it to escape



The pen in my hand

is scrambling words down on paper

still the words burn inside of me

and all I want to do is vanish like vapour



If only I could let the tears run freely

if I could only describe this with words

maybe somebody could help me

if I could only tell them how much it hurts



I just want to be alone

still I need some company

I just want to close my eyes

but that's when the nightmares are haunting me



I lean my head back

staring up at the ceiling

thinking of something else

trying to suppress this feeling



Everytime I try to breathe

it feels like I'm about to choke

like somebody is firmly wrapping

their hands around my throat



I don't know what to do

I don't know how to make this stop

but if it doesn't end soon

I know I'm about to give up
