Hey! So, another sad poem.. but this was inspired by the song 'Scars' by Alison Irahaeta. I found it saved in my computer while deleting some old files. I guess I was going through a tough time, as it shows in the writing. Thanks for reading! :)
**************************************************************************************
I'm this close to breaking
I wanna fall off the edge
But I know, if I go
There's no turning back
Someone, save me
This train's off track
I need to be saved
From reality; my mentality is failing me
A failure
A joke
If being perfect was a currency
Then I'd be broke
I just don't get it
How can someone be everything someone else doesn't need?
My mind plays tricks on me, or so I thought
Lately, they've been getting closer to reality.
It's just a game.
To you, life's just a game.
I don't want to play anymore.
Put down the weapons.
You've won the war.
You understand, of course.
In the eyes of absolutely everyone else
It comes with ease to be myself.
But you don't see
No, you can't see
Inside I'm breaking
I'm halfway hollow
Just a lonely girl with a thriving soul
All that I know
Is that everything everyone ever loves
Eventually goes.
They leave, so they can't see
The pain behind those eyes
They won't have to answer when you ask them why
Why they left you alone in the dark
Crying yourself to sleep with a broken heart
It's a cruel world out there
I envy those who already knew
So I wouldn't have gone out
With an open mind and a likewise heart
I got it stolen, returned; ripped apart.
Unable to heal
No longer able to feel
The smile of a day in love.
Hidden away
No secrets left to say
Although I'm screaming inside
Can't you hear it
Can't you hear me
Or do you just refuse to see
See the pain
See the hurt
See the scars
Of a girl who cried
Who was told so many lies
Now I can't see
Reality's too hard to believe
I refuse to live in it
I know I'll be stuck once I go
And I know
Reality may seem so inviting
But that's where you attain
The characteristic
Of being halfway hollow
