Me

I can't breathe
Everything hurts.
In my heart
It hurts the worst.
I've tried to change
Be the one you want.
But I'm just me
Nothing here to flaunt.
I wish you would see
Try to understand
I am sensitive
That's just who I am.
I try to act tough
Put on this fake smile.
But I break apart
Haven't been happy in awhile.
I am not you
Things actually hurt me.
I can't be like you
Why is that so hard to see?
I'm not someone else
That accepts everything you do.
Some of it upsets me
And I'll start to cry, too.
The pain I feel
Its deep inside.
You can say it's not real
But that is a lie.
I know how I feel
But you don't
I could try to be positive
But I won't.
I have tried before
It never lasts.
It comes in quick
And fades just as fast.
My chest hurts
As sobs rack my body.
Tears soak my pillow
As I try to cry silently.
If only you knew
Who I really am.
Would you hurt me?
Or make me as happy as you can?
I'm sorry I can't be you
And that things hurt me.
If you can't handle it
Then abandon me, leave...
The pain consumes me
Fueling the hot tears.
My nails claw at my neck
And uprises my fear.
I'm drowning beneath the waves
No one here to save me.
I'm sinking farther
I can't breathe.
I feel lost now
But what of this is new? Can you hear my heart break?
Its now in two....
