My Dark Poetry

Strong for too long

I've been strong

For far too long

I can't continue

Like this

Pretending everyday

That everything is okay

When in reality

I'm breaking inside

I built walls

Around myself

To keep out the haters

And the heart breakers

But in reality

All I did

Was shut everyone out

And isolate myself

Creating this pain

That reminds me everyday

That I shouldn't be here.

I've been strong

For far too long

I can't even remember

What being happy

Used to feel like

Or feeling like people care

All I feel inside

Is empty.

I've been strong for too long

I can't continue on

Much further

Sooner or later I will be gone

Free of this isolation

I have built around myself.
