Dark Poems

You Know That Feeling?

You know that feeling?

When you're just waiting.

Waiting to get home, into you room,

close the door, fall into bed,

and just let everything out that you kept in all day.

That feeling of both relief and desperation.

Nothing is wrong.

But nothing is right either.

And you're tired.

Tires of everything, tired of nothing.

And you just want someone to

be there and tell you it's okay.

But no one's going to be there

And you know you have to be strong

for yourself, but no one can fix you.

But  you're tired of waiting.

Tired of having to be the one to fix yourself  and everyone else.

Tired of being strong.

And for once, you  just want it to be easy.

To be simple. To be helped. To be saved.

But you know you won't be.

But you're still hoping.

And you're still wishing.

And you're still staying strong and fighting.

with tears in your eyes.

You're fighting.
