Poems By My Best Friend

I AM...

Well.. I wrote this so enjoy.- A

I AM awkward and silent.

I SEE my life flash before my eyes, those memories I once held on to, gone with the wind.

I HEAR the music blasting into my soul, the bass, the drums, the compelling voices, filling my ears.

I CARRY the weight of the world on my shoulders, it never goes away, I can't get rid of it, it eats away at me, until nothing is left.

I AM awkward and silent.

I WONDER when the pain will end, when I can feel free, when I can walk around and not care about the fucked-up society.

I CRY when I feel broken, when I am left empty inside, when I feel like I'm nothing, when I feel like... I'm done.

I PRETEND words don't affect me, that everything is a big joke. That I'm dreaming, that I'll wake up and not feel like shit.

I FEEL small, like I mean nothing, like I have no power. Like I was made to be stepped on, beaten, bruised, tortured, that I was born, as the biggest joke to mankind.

I AM awkward and silent.

I WISH I could disappear, that the burdens I carry would go away, that I could feel... Okay.

I CARRY my thoughts, the stress and the difficulties. The stress so overbearing, I can't sleep. I can't eat. I can't think... Everything collapses.

I TOUCH the soft fabric of my sweatshirt, suddenly, the worries fade away. Calmness washes over me, I'm safe.

I WANT to be alone, yet I crave for the attention of someone. The feeling of affection overwhelms me, I can't shake it off.

I AM awkward and silent.
