PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My Life and I are just a mess

Just one look and you wouldn’t have to guess

Pain and anger drives me on

But sorrow and hatred says I’m wrong

I’m bombarded by the criticisms from the people and myself

So I try to suck it up and lay them on a shelf

But when it's full it starts to flow and overwhelm

And I become confused as I slip between the feelings on realms

I’m liar I’m a fool

So someone please tell me “What do I do?”

I’m swimming beneath the waves of sorrow

As I start to sink my life line narrows

I leave my room wearing a mask

So to take it off would be a struggle, an impossible task

So save me from my pain

I can’t stand the heavy rain

I don’t want to be a fool or a liar

So please carry me out of the fire

I’m tired of hearing “Sticks and stones may break my bones.”

As if words can’t hurt more or fall harder than stones

I’m a failure, I’m a reject

I can’t get anything right or correct

My heart bleeds with overflowing misery

And all the good times just melt into forgotten history
