they tell me to explore my feelings
they tell me to look within
but do they know how hard it is
when I feel like my existence is a sin
a gaping hole inside my heart
is growing everyday
but I still have to act the part
there's a role I have to play
I smile til my face hurts
so that they can't see
the numbness in my words
I'm lying through my teeth
I feel like I can't breathe
I'm suffocating in my mind
I can't tell anyone that I'd rather stay asleep
than ever return to the daily grind
everyday feels the same
I can't seem differentiate
yesterday from last year
but I will try to persevere
because it gets better
right
I won't spend my whole life
watching days passing by
like they're minutes
it gets better, right?

A Fraction of My Thoughts
PoetryI write poems sometimes and I want an outlet to share them to. I hope somebody can relate to them and feel understood when they read them. btw none of them go together, it is all just random stuff that I have written when I need to rant. Enjoy!
