Poems & Problems

Divided

This was never how it was supposed to be.
I'm tired of all the fake people surrounding me.
Stop.
Don't get any closer.
I don't want you to see,
That my feelings hold me hostage and I can barely breathe.

People tell me that I'm not alone,
Their voices echoing on repeat like a drone.
Although,
I guess you could say that I have grown,
Because I learned how to struggle all on my own.
Whilst my mind is constantly clouded with doubt,
I decide to sit down and write it all out.
Envy begins to slowly drip from my mouth,
So I look up and wonder-
What the hell is this life about?

But I wish I had kept my mouth shut,
It just made everything worse...
I ended up getting more hurt than before and got left in the dirt.

Lost friendships, losing faith, and I'm about to lose hope.

You see-
I'm tired of crying and tired of fighting,
My mind won't let me put the past behind me.
So that I can stay reminded,
My heart and soul have been divided.
