Please
Don't look at me.
I want to run away
And escape from this miserable world.
I'm angry again.
I blame this broken and tattered mirror
For making me seem ugly
Even on the inside.
I don't want your sympathy
I don't need your kindness.
You're suffocating me
So Please
Stop.
I want to scream
And shout.
What do I have to do
For you to leave me be?
You tell me
That you'll be by my side.
No matter what happens.
But I know
That the moment I show you my true self
You'll run away
Just like the others.
You tell me I'm beautiful
STOP LYING!
I cry and cry
But you never listen.
You come closer to me
Every time
I scream not to.
I'm dying
On the inside.
I'm falling apart.
And you being here
Watching this
As it happens
Makes it worse.
I know
That in this world
There's no such thing
As warmth
That there's no one
Who'll be there for you
When you need them the most.
So why should I trust you?
Why should I let you catch my fall?
Please
Just stop.
And go away.
Correction
Fifth stanza, last line: "Not" should be changed to "no". By the way... the kind of guy you are describing reminds me very much of myself. Very insightful!!! Perhaps I ought to be more careful in the future. Loved the poem. I connect well with it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
