PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you know, i don’t need your sympathy

just let me wallow in my own misery

try as you can to protect me from the outside world

but what you can’t do is protect me from myself



you feel you’re so far above me, by covering me with this dirt

little do you know that you dig yourself deeper

with every handful you dish out at me



because nothing can stop me, except the obstacles i set for myself

i’m still in the process of forgetting, all that i’ve left behind me

the earth can revolve without me, but all i want is an escape

somewhere without the dirt, a place inside my head



just because i can’t fit inside, doesn’t mean i should try to hide

just because i don’t want to be like you, doesn’t mean you should keep me from the truth

i’d rather be myself than one of you

still, if only i could find myself, i’d know who i really am inside



i’ve crawled beneath this mask to try to find it

i’m shedding this skin and i just can’t hide it
