Poem Away (Poetry Collection)

Let go

Haven't I been here before?

Ink rolling down my cheeks.

Words wrapped around my neck, ready to choke me, ready to kill.

  Would I mind if they did?

Would it be so bad to finally melt into the familiar darkness?

It's tempting. Insanity, letting go, allowing my broken pieces to scatter like fallen petals soaked by the rain.

  "I'm here for you" the hell you are.
   "You can tell me anything" of course I can't.

Regardless if you're there, I'm all alone.
The tangled mess within my soul is nonsensical to you, to anyone for that matter.

  Emotions will rise and spill out of my lungs. I'll drown in these unheard sobs.

As everyone else expects me to cheer,
As everyone else hopes that I smile,
I can only give a fake grin.

Stretch my lips as much as I can, bare my teeth choking back a snarl and a whimper. That's all I can do.

I have everything,  don't I?
I should be happy
I should be glad

Must I live with an inner storm?
Can't it wipe me out of existence already?

  Silly emotions, petty heart, stupid me.
Is this the only way I can be?

Magical cures, wise words,  I don't wanna heart it.
Leave me to my darkness. 
Let me slip away into nothingness.

I'm tired,
I can't go on,
Please,  just let me go.
