Life isn't as it seems
It's not what everyone dreams
More or so our nightmares
Our heartfelt fears and our dares
Unstable mind
In my mind, dark twists and unhinged behind
Everything hurts
And so I desert
Leave alone what I assert
Left everything I care
Because nobody else is there
It hurts
To be left behind for so long
You leave everything wrong
It is not within me to contain
Not inside of me to restrain
I cannot deal with the stress
Nor can I the emotions, or anything less
Not strong, I am weak
Incapable of standing aloud to speak
Life is not what you want
It truly brings you down and it will haunt
Life kills and spills the unknown
And turns it all into being alone
Left my side, everyone else
Only left to defend myself
But how can I?
Can't feel, is this real?
My heart to steal, no way to heal
Wasted soul and life left stranded
Life left me empty handed
Tried to build my own way
I tried to fill and stray away
But only did life and everyone else
Deprive me of my worth for my own self
Weak and pitiful
Might as well be beautiful
A dark death destined to fly
My light's burned out, I have no tears to cry
Yet still they come, still they fall
Because what I feel is it all
That, along with nothing
I must feel something
Only that of emptiness and alone
I tried,
But life isn't as it seems
When you have a dream
It is only that to catch in your sleep
For me?
Everyone else stole from me
Not my dreams, but my screams
Caused my pain
And I kept it sane
All until I fell apart,
And went insane.

PoesíaTW: Dark and graphic emotions/thoughts. I am updating this collection of poetry as I have kind of left it alone for a long time. I started this in 2017, and while I have written many poems over the years, I have also stopped writing for a long time...
