PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My feelings get in the way of who I want to be.
They act as a shield to what is clear to see.
I give so many excuses. Try to justify how I feel.
Create this dream world where everything is real.

I avoid the confrontation. Just give them what they want.
Though the words stick and continue on to haunt.
It's so much easier to just give in.
It seems my threshold is wearing thin.

Feeling so alone. With my empty heart.
I told myself that things would end this way from the very start.
I still push on when things feel good.
Can't walk away. Even when I know I should.

I give my everything and fall way too hard.
I wonder if they can see all my ugly scars.
I mold myself to fit their every need.
I always let others take the lead.

They walk all over me. But I let it go on.
It seems to repeat like a sad love song.
It starts off with someone new.
Then it just gets too good to be true.

Feels like I am wasting away.
But I know these feelings are here to stay.
I will never change. This is how it's meant to be.
I am forced to pay each and every fee.
