PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I found my soul

only to lose it again

painting on a plastic smile

telling lies that sound like truth

forever feeling nothing

lest emotion crack the mask

I just want to live

is that so much to ask

Why can't you let me have

this one thing that gets me through

the only thing that's truely mine

I still hold it deep inside my shell

sleeping dreaming

I'll feel nothing

but the fear I'll never feel again

I don't want to be so cold

I don't want to be so numb

Tell me-

How do you know that you're alive?

What's your secret?

I thought you knew it all

You decypher the meaning of these lines

Tell me what you find

Tell me why I don't remember how to cry

Wake me up

I don't care about the pain

Chain me

Beat me

Rape me

Cut me with a thousand knives

will it ever be enough

Bruised and bleeding

Slit my fucking throat

and still

I can't remember how to cry
