I hold my sorrows inside like the ticking time bomb I am.
I can barely pick up my phone to see the online world, let alone step outside and feel alive.
Feeling alive scares me, it scares me to know that I live as I am now, scared and hopeless, and I will die one day realizing all the things I never got to be.
Poetry does not come easy as of late, writing feels like a chore.
But when I write I belong, I find myself inside the prison and I break the bars.
Though, my arms have worn out, and the metal is too strong, I cannot break away, cannot escape, cannot belong.
I am a ticking time bomb trying to dismantle myself,
I think I am starting to realize that maybe I was never put together correctly,
Maybe I was always meant to be the thing I hate, the thing I cannot look at face to face.
Living is a chore, passion is a bore, though poetry is my core, I cannot take it anymore.
Blah, blah, blah.
