Cannot be

This flesh and bone is not new to me,

I close my eyes and its all I see,

Like the push that knocks me to the floor,

Always coming back for more.



A void that cannot be filled,

This feeling inside me cannot be killed.

This thing betrays me,

It laughs as I weep,

It knows me well,

It smiles as I bleed.



But this is not me,

For it cannot be.

How can I be this,

Just this,

I cannot believe it,

I couldn’t exist.



I’d love to know, if just for a day,

What its like,

To not feel this way.

I’d die to feel alive,

I’ll die this time.
