PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you know, there's silence all around me,

but inside i'm fighting so many battles,

and struggling to win,

I give everything i have to give,

sometimes even more than i an afford,

110%, alll the time, and look where it's gotten me,

nowhere.

I'm in the same ditch i always am,

loving too many people too much,

and expecting too much,

inevitably being let down.

I'm tired of haning my heart out for everyone to see,

It's just like painting a bullseye on myself,

And stepping into a line of archers,

I've felt the sting of pain so many times,

that at first i'm numb to it,

until eventually, it finally hits me...

and it's all too much to take by then.

I'm just sick of trusting people only to be hurt.

Why can't I just be like him and hold it all inside?

I don't know if that would be easier,

But there's got to be a better way than this,

All i want,

All i have ever wanted, for that matter,

Is to be loved, and to be happy,

Which usually go hand in hand.

Is that too much to ask?

Well, i guess it is because everytime I think I am either of them,

It turns out I'm wrong.

There's too much stress on me right now,

And I guess, like people tell me,

in the future i will look back on all of this,

and it will seem like nothing.

And that may be true,

but right now it feels like too much,

and right now is all that matters,

and all i can think of.
