Running In Circles

How can you try so hard to achieve something,

And then fail?

It feels like I'm a dog chasing my tail.

Running in circles, running in circles.

Chasing something I can never reach,

Trying so hard to achieve.

Trying to be something someone wants.

Trying hard to get good grades,

Trying hard to be okay.

Running in circles, running in circles.

Trying to make my mom happy,

Make her proud of me.

Make her see I do fit in with the family.

That I am smart and funny like them.

I try and try to fit in.

Running in circles, running in circles.

Looking in the cracked mirrors in the corridor.

Seeing a mind that's leaking,

Seeing a hand writing,

Black dots turn into words on blank paper.

Running in circles, running in circles.

Making sure everyone is okay,

Making sure I have their back.....

But who has mine?

Running in circles, running in circles

Until I've lost my mind.

The hand still writing,

The brain still leaking.

Words still be sprallwed across the paper.

Smoke rising,

Fire starting,

Words being spelled in the air.

Smile pulled across my face,

Feet running, fast, in place.

Running in circles, running in circles

Feet tired and worn.

Running in circles,running in circles

Heart and mouth torn.

Brain, stopped leaking,

Hand, stopped writing.

Words, dissapered.

Looking in the broken mirrors in the corridor.

To see a face staring back me.

Seeing who I'm supposed to be.

Running in circles, running in circles.

Words have been found,

Burnt into a tree.

While everyone read them,

No one knew who wrote them,

No one knows about me.

I know, i know. I be gotten bad at writing. I just haven't had any ideas lately with school going on, that's also why I haven't updated.

I'm going to get some ideas so these poems will be better next time. ☺☺
