Convince (Poem)

The pain within cuts too deep

Everyday I'm deprived of sleep

The voices goes louder and stronger

Would I be able to hold on any longer?

Words cut like a knife

Like a blade that shortens a life

Convincing people is what I do

With a mask that hides it from you

You need not to be burdened by me

And I'm sorry I never let you see

The breaking inside of myself

I shove it down like a book on a shelf

To appear like nothing is wrong

When in fact, I have been cracking for so long

I say lies, I should be the biggest liar you've met

Then it piles all up in one mesh of hate

For once I want to be saved

But the voices bind me like a slave

Why do they say things are that so true?

A stupid person like me is gullible to believe them too

Pain. Nightmares. Hate. Love. Bleed.

No one listens to my need

So I walk on, alone with a mask

To convince everyone, that is my task
