PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I smile, as I tell you I'm dying,

I guess you think I'm joking.

It just happens, I'm not trying,

But deep inside, I'm choking.

I move to hide my bleeding,

I laugh to hide my rotting,

I lie because I'm needing,

I wince to hide my sobbing.



Nobody tries to stop the cries that scream from deep within these eyes.

Is it such a chore? I don't want you to ignore me anymore.

I'm suffocating, my heart's breaking, life is taking,

More than I can give, became too hard to live.

So, what do I do now? Where do I learn how? I don't even know what's wrong, I just know I can't hold on......
