PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Hallowed out inside, sealed up just like a shell

You’ll never break your way inside

Enclosed beneath this skin, is what you don’t want to see

You’ll never know what lies beneath



I want to open up, yet everything stays closed

Closed to everyone and everything

I can’t ever find the right words to say to you

I’ll never know the right way to be



(And I’ll never see what could become)



My steps go back instead of forward

Light goes out instead of growing brighter



Line after line, death after death

One stays behind, diminished until there’s nothing left



One by one, it seals my fate

Locked away from love, had to settle for hate

Words are a waste, we all live in this silence

Love is murder, so I hide from the violence



I stay away from almost everything

I crawl away from this wreckage

Of what I’ve made of myself



I’m shedding skin to become another dream

I’ve grown sick of all you’ve done to me

In a crowd of so many, it’s still just myself



But does it need to be? I don’t really need to see

I don’t really need it, or anything, after all
