Bottled In

I was wrong to say I loved her, I was wrong to think I'm right;
I was wrong to commit so easily, I was wrong when I lost sight.

Being in a relationship, but still feeling single,
It's like not eating potatoes, but still eating pringles.

Tired of being lonely, in my heart, I shut the door;
I was once chipped, now I'm scattered on the floor, what was broken cant be whole anymore.

You can never hurt me, more than Ive hurt myself,
Santa gets cookies and milk, when the work was done by elves.

Looking at my reflection, but I don't know who I see,
So tell me from your perspective, who do you see when you look at me.

Bottled everything in, but I truly want to be free;
But how can I open up, when no one acknowledges me.

Entered relationships because I was lonely, trust me, they didn't end well.

Vented by writing poems in Poeticcharmer, my life stories they all tell,

But what do I do, when I'm finally out my shell?

I want to cry, I really want to but unfortunately I can't,
I want to feel vulnerable for once and let out these suppressed taunts.

Eyes filled with tears, but they never flow,
But one thing for sure, this feeling of emptiness grows.

Am I broken or depressed, I really don't know..
But it's really painful inside as it's killing me slow.
