My frustration with life
Eats away at my soul
I can not even feel
Emotions any more
I do not wish to live
I do not wish to die
All that I wish for now
Is to just disappear
All my life all I did
Was try my very best
And yet I got nothing
Oh, what is all this for?
I've forgotten myself
Forgotten dimensions
Of who I used to be
And what I used to do
But I do remember
The days long ago when
Tears didn't come everyday
And they did not break me
Now love songs bring anger
And so do happy ones
These optimistic fools
Of them I am jealous
I wish desperately
To go back, to fix me
And yet not even hope
Wants to live inside me

Sometimes I feel so many negative emotions in a high intensity for so long, I stop feeling emotions altogether. You feel empty, and everything becomes useless. You start hating yourself and everyone trying to tell you it'll get better. Cause it never does. You don't want to live, but you don't want to die. Happy songs feel so fake and infuriating. The future holds nothing. You don't talk much, you don't laugh at all. You start drowning in nothingness, and you lose yourself and any hope you had of reaching the surface. This poem is about my experience with this. I've also limited each line to six syllables, instead of using a rhyme scheme.
