This is IT...
Some pains go away. Some stay. Others meld into you, create a new you
The tears, the pain the holdings I can’t contain.
The flame of who I use to be has dimmed
The shell I have developed
Was I ever ready?
To say something?
The moment of tears that seems to come, so quickly, too fast
I shouldn’t feel this way after so long.
Has it been long?
Time seems to meld, mold, become something else.
Why does it seem so fresh, so current
I don’t know if its anger, if its hate… but there is no room for much else.
The pity around me hates it more.
I have been fighting, keeping quiet, pushing it aside.
Talking how I do, I don’t want to hear about it.
No word to it
No word for it, I don’t know why I did it.
Did I do it?
It doesn’t seem like me, it felt hollow, I feel hollow.
Trapped, smothered, drowned.
Did I cause it?
The light came too quickly, too fast, too whirlwind for me.
I can’t control, I’m too lost to find my own heart.
What am I doing?
There isn’t a word for it…yet,
Nothing is soothing.
Everything irritating
I’m lost, I can’t admit it, the tears adamant
Can I take it?
Tell it all, every word causing another sharp pain.
It happened to me.
I couldn’t control it, hold it.
Would it have been better?
Tell me! Tell ME!
WHY AM I STUCK!?
WHY AM I DROWNING!?
WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG!?
IS THIS WHAT I DESERVE!?
It all seems to cold.
I seem to old. Too distant
If asked, could I repeat it?
Say it?
Just get it off your chest
I can’t words don’t form, it’s a secret, hidden. That’s what I feel.
I feel hidden, enclosed, why?
Why can’t I be content with no one knowing?
Their minds already made up about me, I guess I’m lost to my own humanity.
