AB poem


I’m tired

Living my life like this

Wrongly wired

I can feel death’s kiss

So close to the edge 

I back away but I can’t find a way

Standing on a ledge

I see the sun set on the bay

A beauty so divine

I’ll live my life even if I don’t want to

I tell them I’m fine but im looking for a sign

The sky’s so blue

I can’t hold back the tears

I have a lump in my throat 

My heart feeling all the fears

So I took everything and I wrote

And put my life on paper

All my feelings on display

I sound like a rapper

I have a lot to say 

 

Feeling so broke

And I’m not talking about money

Feel like I’m choking on smoke

You think you’re so funny

Making jokes

Go ahead, give me the side-eye one more time

I can’t help but feel like I’m alone

Everyone’s against me

All I hear is sticks and stones

But I just wanna feel free

 

A glimmer of hope

Shine down on the sea

Im standing on a tightrope

I never guessed I feel so hurt to a degree

I just want to let go 

I want out

But ill I can do is glow

Because everything will workout

 

I’ll leave the pain behind

To find my peace of mind
