Lines Aligned With Feelings

A Coward

They asked what's wrong What's right,
They pretend that it's fine
My heart was left in pieces
But it was my fault that I couldn't believe it.

Every day I woke was another reminder that, I
Am a broken piece which was, I guess
Was Never made to heal

I just kept going on my days
Keeping a smile on my face.
To feel a bit better
But this smile always falters

That's what the best a person can do
To live, to survive,
Even though they do Not feel or die

That's what I do the best
To not die at least
I kept this emptiness inside
Because there was nothing, right?

It empty that why it's not wrong
But one word from me
Has this entire world to see my flaw

I couldn't get up from my bed
But it was my fault
Because I'm not the only one,
who has it that bad.

People believe I should keep the mind quiet,
But this ruthless thing just never listens.
Just like I always do to them,
The people who wants me to live,
Even though I couldn't feel.

What was my fault I asked-
The answer came from the brain,
"It's all your fault, the rest can't be explained"

So keep quiet, and be silent.
The world wants my body to live,
Because if they wanted my soul to be real,
They would've already realised that,
It was dead for a year.

In the end, it all came back to one,
That I am still stuck in this cycle
While the others won.

"Come to school" they say,
"go back to those people"
What if that's my last straw,
And they saw me as dead.
Not from outside
but the dying part inside.

To take this life feels easy
Just that I don't hate this world enough,
Or love myself too much.

I only wait for this one man I feel,
In this world who would made a better person
Or love me as his certain someone

The part which laughed and smiled
The part that loved and whined
Now sat in the bed
With her head in hands
And try to the keep the world forever quiet

-Me
