PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The world’s completely grey

The sky sits overcast on this miserable day

And there are no words that anyone can say

To make this disappear, to make it go away



I need to come out of this beautiful and new

I need to refresh myself when the time is due  

But you can’t understand just how fucking long

This has been going on and on



I’ve been asking for the duvet to swallow me

I’ve been asking for the pillow to up and smother me

I’ve been begging the pain to up and leave me

Before something drastic comes to soothe me



To simply lie and wither away

With no fuss no mess or reasons to stay

To shut my eyes and disintegrate

As my body just rots, slowly decays



And no one knows save one of the true extent of this

How over the weeks how much happiness is missed

Not one day goes by when a tear doesn’t fall

And only one knows of the extent of it all



But no one I know can fully understand

Save three that I’ve told and they all held my hand

And of those three people I truly am glad

Because without them I’d be sure to go mad



But only one of them knows the full extent

They tell me to hold on but my energy’s been spent

Hold on in there that’s what she said

But my skull wants to crush all the thoughts in my head



And I need to come out of this shiny and new

Get my spirit back and put my brave face on too

To rise from the ashes of a fire that hasn’t burned

And to shake of the pain, shake of the hurt



But circumstance doesn’t work that way

There are always things that slap you in the face

And from this thing can’t get away

But I won’t be forced down, I can’t wither away



I just want to lie down and sleep

With no thoughts interrupting my dreams

But it’s just so hard and I can’t stop the screams

The nightmares, the sleepwalking pounding my feet

You make think me a hypocrite but the difference you see

Is that I’m stronger than you

And this won’t defeat me.
